We Interrupt this Lack of Blogging to Broadcast an Important Holiday Update... Alright, it's high time for someone to post and it looks like I'm-a gonna have to be that someone.

Today's topic is COOKIES.

In addition to the delicious flavour and variety, it is appropriate to discuss the abundance of cookies in my midst in recent days.

'Tis the season to be jolly, and that means neverending fun for my taste buds. In the last 2 days, an atrocious number of cookies have crossed these lips of mine. Let me recap the highlights: peanut shortbread, chocolate with a dollop of sticky jam-like stuff, chocolate-apricot biscotti, chocolate digestive, baklava (not quite a cookie but also sweet, buttery and bite-sized).

I must give an honourable mention to chocolate, of which I have partaken in medium to large amounts in the last 30 hours as well: Laura Secord mint chocolate medallion, Irish Creme filled square, milk chocolate pastille, a small edible Santa, and caramel-filled Quality Street.

My dietitians' mind is trying in vain not to tabulate the horrific number of calories and fat (some of it saturated!!!) that has entered my digestive system and inevitably been absorbed and stored by now.

The delights of my mouth will be the downfall of my ass.

Merry Chocolate eating to all, and to all a good Cookie.  Ms. M ¶ 2:42 PM
