My other favorite NY food blog, Lunch Studio, was the inspiration for this Metro Market impluse purchase. Anna’s Ginger Thins are delicate and spicy.
Thanks for the idea.

Oatmeal Raisin, to go
My coach is hitting the road, and will meet us in San Diego later on this week. We send him off with treats and snacks for the trip.
At the request of the coach’s sister, I am attempting a ‘healthy’ cookie here … oatmeal raisin. Made mostly from organic ingredients, I also slightly lowered the sugar content which one can hardly notice. Fresh out of the oven, there is a ‘cake-like’ texture to the small bite, which perhaps is due to the whole wheat flour / white flour combo I used. After they had cooled the cookie hardened slightly, making it a bit crunchier, though not exactly “hard”. My taste-tester, the husband, apparently “doesn’t eat cookies with raisins”. But I thought they came out pretty tasty.
I baked half the batch and put the rest of the dough in the fridge to bake tomorrow. Keep these suckers as fresh as possible for the road trip.
Cute Cookies
As you can tell from previous posts, I have a soft spot in my heart for cookies. Especially those from Italian maker Ambrosetti. Whatever the season or holiday, there is a cookie for it. I found these at MM, which I will be bringing into work tomorrow, to celebrate the (near) end of my jury duty stint. More on that to come. Back to the cookies. These are fun, festive and always tasty. Yes, I am bringing them to work, but the husband and I couldn’t help but give one a try. Don’t worry, co-workers, my hands were clean before I handled these for the three-minute photo shoot. No animals were harmed during the making of this blog post.
Like they read my mind … a pink bunny!
I could see how this yellow chickadee could be just a weird blob if you stare at it long enough.
Plus … Easter eggs:
How sweet it is!

Mexican wedding cakes from MM. Rich, dense and buttery.
And for a little dessert … a girl scout cookie story
As I was making noodles for lunch today I stood in the kitchen and watched the husband go into the freezer and take some Thin Mints from an already opened box. The only box of Thin Mints I have. Then, he closed the box and put them back in the freezer.
What the frak?
They’re in the FREEZER so we can save them for LATER. That’s what everyone says. Buy a lot of cookies. Support the Girl Scouts. They freeze really well. You can enjoy them a month from now.
Noticing my shock, the husband replied that he would have had some All Abouts but since I hid them he went for the Thin Mints. Nevermind that he also said the night before, “Out of sight, out of mind” and that having the All Abouts hidden would assist in getting his cycling training plan back in motion. He told me to hide them, then punished me by digging into the reserves.
So, I unhid the All Abouts (simply in the pantry/cupboard, on a lower shelf) so that he would stop eating my Thin Mints. Too little too late, though. I tell ya. You just can’t win.
One of the last All Abouts:
