Okay, someone HAS to say it. That's the way the cookie crumbles. Sorry.

Maybe, just maybe, we're getting to the point of making the point that we won't (can't?) afford to overpay for things, like cookies, that we don't really need. next stop: pinkberry and the $5 spoonful of frozen yogurt, then $7 sheets of wrapping paper from kates paperie (sorry) and all the other nonesense that we spend way too much on.

See, and you thought all those passed around recipies with the "Ms. Fields charged the person $100 ($1000, $10000, whatever you heard) caveat were fake!
