I am "COOKIE CRUNCHER"...

I am so excited about this BLOG! Kudos to Denise...(known in these parts as CRUNCHY CRITTER)...this was her idea...and I think it is GREAT!

The way this idea developed is kinda cool. After a weekend of challenges, a weekend of stress, a weekend that seemed to wear us both down. Denise and I found ourselves taking solace in each other's company over the phone. This time to listen, commiserate and share is something that I treasure. But this time, it seemed that we were both facing obstacles that seemed too large to conquer. I think it is safe to say that we were both feeling at our wits end. I recall making the statement that I just didn't know what to do anymore. And then I said, "I'm just want to sit down on the floor and eat a whole box of cookies!"

I think that says a LOT! Food provides comfort. And while we all have our favorite comfort foods...chocolate, fries, chicken soup, mom's apple pie, Taco Bell....the options are limitless. BUT...I would venture a guess that you would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't like one type of cookie or another.

COOKIES - There are so many varieties. A cookie here, a tea biscuit there...the types, shapes, flavors, sizes, ingredients, packaging, recipes and variations available are mind boggling. Not only do they vary from home to home, but store to store, and region to region...not to mention country to country...

My friend Denise is great about trying new things and making sure that she is incorporation something out-side her comfort zone to keep her life "spicy." So she recommended we apply this to something frivolous and fun...COOKIES!

And so we share a lifetime quest...To try, share and critique COOKIES! With an open mind....but I seriously don't know that I need all that much convincing.

AND SO...WE MUNCH...WE TASTE...WE INDULGE...WE FIND JOY IN:

COOKIES!

COOKIE ON!

Hi! I'm also a Cushie turned panhypopit after 2nd round of Cushings (3 pit. surgeries)... Just read some of your stuff (oh how I can relate - thanks for putting words on my feelings for the past 18 years or so!!) I just wanted you to know that regarding cookie stuff, you guys should really check out a friend of mine's site: Montreal Creations - in my opinion she is the Cookie Master - check out her stuff!
