One of my favorite things ...

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things...

Actually, one of my favorite things is heat, and not just any heat, but heat from the oven. Even in the summer, I'm often so cold that this dry heat is a welcome change. After baking, I love to pull the door open a crack and just stand there, soaking in the heat that escapes as the oven cools. My body craves this warmth, and it makes me reconsider the story of Hansel and Gretel, where the witch was going to bake Hansel and he pushed her into the oven instead. Perhaps this was not so much cannibilistic and murderous as it was caring and a token of affection?
