Why is it scandalous? Because if it’s true, then WHO ATE THE COOKIES? That crime goes all the way to the very top of the family, folks. Because we all know who the culprits would have been*.
*How do they taste? …Seriously, how would I know? I mean, I’m pretty sure they don’t taste like batteries, spools of thread, or random bits of sewing equipment. Past that, I’m not sure.
Not my mystery, mind you (my family did pies); my wife’s. She’s making her mom’s from-scratch chocolate chip cookies, and they’re just not spreading out in cooking the way that she remembers them doing when she was a kid. We’ve just finished discussing the possible reasons why; she’s fiddled with the margarine, the mixing, and whatnot, but to no avail. I think that it may be the oven, but that just may be my general opinion about electric ovens vs. gas*. Continue reading The Great Chocolate Chip Cookie Mystery at Chez Lane.
Look, unless you’re from a Boston Irish background you have no idea how much trouble I’m in right now. My goddaughter is also my niece. I have to go right now
Congratulations to this Girl Scout who sold 312 boxes of cookies by setting-up shop in front of a pot dispensary. https://t.co/GfsOYBxr5r pic.twitter.com/JhPURNwMhD

Bless their hearts.
That was not a typo. Or euphemism.
Gov. Pat McCrory hasn’t been willing to meet with the women (and a few men) protesting an abortion bill that opponents say restricts access to safe abortions. But he did stop by this afternoon with a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
McCrory was flanked by four security guards as he came out of the mansion gates. Before stepping onto common ground with the protesters – he went as far as the middle of the street between his mansion and the vigil – McCrory pointed directly at Jamie Sohn, a Chapel Hill resident.

Sohn said McCrory told her: “ ‘These are for you. God bless you, God bless you, God bless you.’ ” He handed her the plate of cookies, and waved as he walked away. She said she was too stunned to say anything back.
