Um... gonna have to disagree with you there. We're talking about chocolate oatmeal cookies, yes? Usually they are not good because someone put too much peanut butter in them or left them on the stove too long. If you get them just right they are wonderful things.

My grandmother keeps a bowl of cold water beside the stove while cooking them. She drops a drop of cookie in the water every few seconds. When the cookie drop solidifies on contact, the cookies are done and ready to be plopped onto wax paper sheets.

And if you get them wrong, mash them up in a bowl with a little milk, microwave and you have some really good chocolate oatmeal. :D

Great timing!
A guest pastor at my church just told this story at last Wednesday's service.

He summed it up by saying something like..."We often moan about why God is doing this to me, or why God is allowing this to happen, when in reality we packed our OWN lunch. We need to look at what we do, and how we do it, and change if we want a different outcome. We need to pack something different in our lunch."

Well, there have been many threads on this topic. Feel free to use the 'search' button to find them. In summary, however, the consensus is that there are no Biblical references to baking one's own cookies, as long as you can do so without having impure thoughts.

Well it's a pleasure to meet someone who speaks the language of all of us grew up in the Fine Era of the 80's.

Mia, I'm going to rely on you when I need to ask a young person to retrieve my dentures for me. You'll know exactly what I'm saying without needing an interpreter ("Don't you see them? They're right next to my Sussidio cassette tape..." For any of you who remember Phil Collins in the 80's.)

Then again, if someone in this thread is kind enough to bake me soft-batch cookies that are chewy enough for me to just gum... I might even be able to skip the dentures.

Unless someone is silly enough to then try to take the cookies from me. Then I might need them... to bite someone.

I just came across these at publix:
As a key lime pie fanatic, i debated for a long time about whether or not to add this to my cart.

I may have to go back and buy a package but bring it in to work to share, so I don't have a bunch of cookies around my home.

...or when you had a cassette tape left too long sitting in direct sun in your car, and the sound was all wobbly and warped...

The thing you're missing out on, Mia, is the art of the cassette mixtape. To copy songs onto a blank tape, in a particular order with a particular someone in mind...you can tell a story, change people's moods... and they couldn't skip the songs easily...You were able to help them feel what you intended them to feel...

I was glad to see cassette tapes go in favor of CD's, but...we lost the mixtape.

I still do that (to a lesser extent) today...as an audio/tech guy, I try to pick my outgoing music to match what the pastor was speaking about... For instance, if Pastor was speaking of being on fire for God, I might pick Unspoken's 'Start A Fire'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrEzr-rWwe8


Youth pastor speaking on keeping focused to make it through the school week? Hmmm...Andy Mineo's 'You Can't Stop Me'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WopyrETP-CU


If the message was on making it through life's storms, maybe I'd pick this:

Who said Soundwave? :D

Never did get how a feline changed to a cassette though... Ravage kind of broke the suspension-of-disbelief for me.
