I was given a recipe similar to yours when I visited Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 2004, and then returned to visit Prince Edward Island in 2005. Your oatmeal cookie recipe has brought back sweet memories of that serene place, Annie. My ancient Scottish Hammett forefathers lived in the region before toddling south, so I feel a kinship, and peaceful, upon remembering the Queen Anne's lace covering a hillside and nodding in the breeze.
