Resurrection and a New Old Recipe

resurrection of these lemon almond cookie cups

“Imagine the Impossible” is the byline of a new show premiering next month on ABC. Now imagine deceased loved ones returning home. This is “Resurrection”. If there ever was a show to mess with the mind of a griever then this is it.

Naturally, what every griever wants more than anything else in the world is to have their loved one back with them safe and sound. It seems that is what the show promises. The TV trailer features a mom greeting her son who died 30 years earlier. The joy on her face is like what you would imagine. It’s like her heart is jumping out of her chest as she cups his face in her hands. Don’t I wish I could do the same, but I know better.

To suggest even the remote possibility of our deceased being resurrected from the dead creates a kind of hope that surely complicates the grief process. It’s already hard to accept and let go. This only will make it harder for those who will see the story for something other than the fiction it is.

Now imagine a delicious new life for an old cookie. A resurrection. For all my gluten-free readers this one is for you. Hard to believe gluten-free is so easy and delicious.  No weird ingredients or special mixes required.

    I think I will skip the show but try the almond cookie recipe. It would be sweeter choice for me. As you said we know better. Besides, delicious gluten free recipes are always in demand.

      I will be skipping the show, too. Let me know how you like the cookie. Bob’s Red Mill almond meal flour is what I use and love it. I actually got started baking with almond flour after taking a baking class in Paris. The French bake with it regularly. I like that it adds a bit of protein to the mix, too.

    Yeah I had the same feelings as you when I saw the previews for that show. Seems like a really questionable choice of subject matter that will not help people.

    I think it will just make reasonable people feel sad and those who are already struggling with their loss struggle longer
