But You May Call Me Cookie

Do you ever feel like you're only eating dinner just to get to the dessert? I mean, do you ever feel like that?

My hubby made these cookies on Saturday and let me tell you, that night it was all about the cookies. I ate the dinner like my mommy raised me to, but if it's possible to have one hand on the fork and the other hand on the cookies......I was there.

Fortunately my family was gone for the evening so that I could devote my entire meal time thoughts to the cookie, the whole cookie, and nothing but the cookie.

I did not have to waste brain cells by talking about such unimportant things such as the state of the country, our bills, or whether or not we should take a vacation this year. No, I was free to inhale my foot, sorry, I mean inhale my food, and make sure I had room for a cookie or two, or six dozen.

Then, right as I was reaching the home stretch of finishing my dinner, my mother had the nerve to ask me to please get her another carton of milk as her other milk had soured. Really? She eats sour cream and she loves buttermilk (which I can't stand) and she can't swallow a little sour milk so that I can get to my cookie faster? What is this world coming to???

Then the dog entertained me with all his problems about not being tall enough to open the outside door and he has paws instead of fingers, and really, he's sorry and hates to bother me but could I please open the door so he could go out? Yeah, yeah, whatever, heard it all before.

Then the little dog is all like I haven't had my dinner yet and you fed me dog food again and there you are worried about eating your cookie? And I'm all like, your food is sitting over there in your bowl, why don't you eat it? And she's all like, you know I don't like to eat alone and my furry brother is outside, and I'm like so wait for him to come in and she's all like, you know, pulling an attitude with me and I'm all like, whatever dude.

Then the phone rings and it's my mother again (who lives in the same house as me) and she's calling me (using her cell phone!) because it's so much easier to call than to walk down the hall and did I know that "It's A Wonderful Life" is going on tonight?

People, just how hard is it to eat a cookie?

  7. At least you didn't just stuff it in your mouth real fast and not even taste it. Wait for that perfect moment Nan! And really savor every morsel of it. :) Your time will come! LOL maybe tonight at 4 am :)

  8. That is too funny. I hope you finally got to enjoy a cookie or 12. That is how I feel about my pumpkin muffins. The other night around 11pm hubby wouldn't run up to the corner dunkin donuts to get me one...the nerve. I had been wanting one all day and just couldn't get there:)

  9. So did you finally get to eat the cookie or did you have the whole plate? Cookies are meant to last they are meant to be enjoyed, right fresh from the oven, with a cold glass of milk.

  10. Those cookies must be divine. Although, honestly, for me, I can't get enough "It's a Wonderful Life" this time of year. So, your mom made me smile.
