Gas, Food, and Cookies


Well, gas is up to $4.29 at Safeway and I heard yesterday on the news that the average cost per gallon for WA is $4.22. Food costs are also rising, and Americans are feeling a tighter squeeze. I just read the school lunches may be increasing by as much as 50%. So, what happens to the children whose parents were struggling to put food on the table before the gas and food increase? It is a scary world out there. I feel like I have been a lone witness to a horrible trainwreck and now, finally, years later, other people are coming to the trainwreck, wondering how it happened. But, hey, a couple years ago, we were giving tax breaks to people driving huge SUVs. Time to release the technology; It's LONG overdue.
I am very excited because I am making cookies...for Ian. The simplest recipe I have ever seen. A recipe with 4 ingredients. They took literally 20 minutes from start to finish. I can't wait until they cool and he can have one. I am quite sure he will wonder why I have been holding back from him for so long.


And the verdit? He loved them...check out the crumbs:
