Evil Cookies et. al.

So, originally I was going to describe in full gory detail the evilest cookie to emerge from this year's round of holiday cookie exchange parties. I had it all planned out. The soft chocolate chip cookie batter baked to perfection surrounding not chocolate chips, but one perfectly centered thin mint girl scout cookie. But wait, not evil enough. Damn straight! But what could elevate the cookie within a cookie to truly evil status?? A whole miniature heath bar atop each individual cookie. No really. It sounds impossible, but there it was, one delicious cookie. I even took pictures to include in my blog, but....

A couple of weeks ago I sat on my digital camera and broke the viewing screen. I can still look through the little view finder window at the top of the camera, and I can still take pictures, but just like with a pre-digital or disposable camera, I have no idea what my shots look like until I download. The end result being, the Christmas card photos I ordered online - totally blurry, Drew's picture with Santa - eyes closed, and my cookie picture - Voila!And here I was thinking I might finally be able to kick my amateur food porn career "up a notch" (if you know what I mean.) And if you could only see this cookie in all it's perfectly golden, chewy, crunchy, nutty, sweet glory, you'd understand it has achieved a level of evil one step beyond the Satan Bar which up until this point reigned as the almighty evil for over a decade. Especially when you replace the butterscotch chips with Skor candy pieces. Yum!

And my camera....my poor poor camera! I planned to ask for a new one for Christmas, but then well.....I washed my cell phone in the clothes washer. Yeah, the new one I got just a few months ago, and opted not to go with the damage insurance, and signed a two year contract, which allowed me to purchase the phone for only $10, which will cost LOTS more than that to replace. Sorry honey! At least I have yet to accidentally toast my ipod. Although if it makes it through to January I'll consider it a mini Christmas miracle.
