Have A Cookie!

Happy Thursday Everybody,

Today I'm thinking of cookies...no, not the computer website ones, but the ones you eat. Specifically Oreos and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

In my head the Oreo jingle plays merrily while warring with the parody Weird Al Yankovich wrote.

I don't remember if I put any kind of cookie in my stories (I could be wrong, but I don't have any memory of doing that) but how many of us would identify with a character who sits down with a glass of milk  and a cookie (be it an Oreo, Chocolate Chip or any other) dunking the cookie into the milk just like a kid? (especially if said character is an adult). I know I would. Or take a Chocolate Chip Cookie and dunk it in coffee (if you haven't tried that and you like both Chocolate Chip Cookies and coffee I recommend it!)

Yes, I'm a dunker of cookies. I like when they're soggy and heavy with coffee or milk (well, in my case creamer--because I don't drink regular milk too often, but that explanation is a whole different post).  I always liked it when cookies tasted soft--you know, the chewy ones.

My Dad (yeah, even over 30, I still like my dad's cooking and baking--brings back very happy memories plus it's just plain good) makes these really big, soft chocolate chip cookies. My Dad and I agree that Chocolate Chip Cookies should be big and soft. Now, I know several people who prefer less soft Chocolate Chip Cookies, but, I really like my Dad's way of making Chocolate Chip Cookies.

So what about you? What cookies do you like? Are they homemade or a particular brand? Are you a dunker or just prefer the cookie by itself?

Have A Tasty Thursday!

I like my cookies crunchy, but dh has made both my children cookie dunkers. Still today my 17 year old son only has milk with cookies...and it's because the milk is soaking the cookies, not because he's drinking it!

Oh, you've found a topic very close to my heart. It would be easier to list the cookies I don't like.
But here's a partial list of the ones I LOVE:
In the fresh-baked category:
choc. chip
oatmeal & raison
shortbread sandie [not sure about the name]
In the packaged cookie category:
Oreos
Chips Ahoy choc chip
too many of the Keebler products to list.

Now you've got me drooling again.

Tess,

Thanks for dropping by! OF COURSE the milk isn't for drinking...well, at least not until you're done eating the cookies (as far as I'm concerned, anyway) :-)

Jeff,

You and I can definitely agree on cookies...the ones you named I really love (except I like Shortbread, but the Sandies aren't as good as other brands, in my opinion). Keebler is out to be my destruction--specially those EL Fudge ones LOL Thanks for coming by :-)

Jessica,

Thank you for dropping by! I think you summed it up pretty well in your comment :-)

I am big on cookies...or any cooking and baking,(I had a bakery/restaurant)> I make my own, but I like soome commercial ones. I truly miss some cookies that Ihave not seen on store shelves since I was a kid...but I still look! I think you are right, Bethany; cookies are big memomory-makers.Good idea!

Oh, that was ME, Bethany...I was signed-in wrong!
Bethany said…
Tonette,

LOL no problem! Thanks for dropping by. Wow, you had a bakery/restaurant? That's so cool! We keep telling my Dad he could have a bakery...but I don't think that will ever happen--I think he likes just making things for fun :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
