Sunday Stealing: Cookie Day

Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

March 6 was National Oreo Cookie Day. So said Mary when she completed this meme, which she credited to Terri D (Your Friend from Florida), who used to host Wednesday Medley. So let’s take on these tasty questions!

National Oreo Cookie Day

1. Are you able to pass by a plate of cookies and not take one, or are you a bit of a “Cookie Monster”

Depends on the cookie. It would have to be “worth” the calories; an inferior cookie simply won’t do. For instance, I’ve had great black-and-white cookies, while others were quite inadequate.

I don’t like peanut butter, so I can always pass on those cookies. My daughter is allergic to peanut butter; I can usually smell and certainly taste peanut butter, so I became her tester.

2. Tell us about your favorite cookie. Have your tastes changed since you were a kid?

My favorite cookie is Grandma’s Oatmeal Raisin. I’m also fond of the Golden Oreo cookie. When I was a kid, I was a traditional Oreo cookie guy, but I also liked the Archway oatmeal, molasses, and sugar cookies.   Are bar cookies, such as brownies, cookies? If so, then yes for them both then and now.  

Tradition

I have an emotional attachment to hamentaschen. I was in a church play at my previous church, and I played the evil Haman. Purim just took place this past week. 

3. Enquiring minds want to know if you are a dunker and, if so, do you dunk in milk, coffee, or tea?

Not a dunker. I do like to drink milk, or occasionally hot tea with cream,  with my cookies. 

4. It is that time of year, and they are selling them on every corner and in front of every store!  Do you buy Girl Scout cookies, and if you do, which is your favorite?

I know a dad who is hawking his daughter’s GS cookies. I hadn’t purchased them in about a decade, but I’m likely to buy boxes of Thin Mints and  Samoas.

5. Raw cookie dough.  Yay or Nay?

Nay. 

Sunday Stealing Looks Back on September

Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

We’re stealing this meme about last month – it looks back on September – from Life of a Fool. This blogger maintains this meme has “been seen everywhere.” The questions only require a yes or no, but if you’d like to elaborate, we’d like to hear what you have to say. (That’s good because this would be very short otherwise.)

In the Past Month Meme

During September, did you …

1. Drink alcohol? I don’t believe so.  I had suggested to my wife that we could have a glass of wine from the bottle sitting on the kitchen counter, probably for the last few months, but it’s never gotten beyond that. It’s interesting how alcohol which was such a wonderful thing to discover in my 20s, has largely fallen by the wayside. 

2. Try a new recipe? No I don’t really look at recipes and I only make the same six items anyway.

Shop Around

3. Go shopping with friends? I avoid going shopping at all. The only thing I bought that wasn’t groceries in September was at Lodge’s, the oldest department store in Albany, and I purchased a couple of pairs of slippers to walk around in the house.

I really don’t like shopping with other people. I have stories. One time this past decade, my wife was going to buy me a winter coat for Christmas, so we went into JCPenney’s. I looked at two coats and liked the second one. I tried it on; it fit, and I said, “Okay, we’re done.” She said, “Don’t you want to look at some others?” “NO!” 

I like buying books and music because I generally know what I want.  Grocery shopping is okay. 

4. Eat an entire box of cookies by yourself? No, and don’t think I ever did. I ate a whole package of oatmeal raisin cookies in September, but there were only two cookies.

5. Dye your hair? If I’ve ever dyed my hair, I have no recollection. I might have done so for Halloween many years ago. When I was in high school stage crew, a young woman named Mary, the lead in a production, sprayed my hair blond.

Thank you for playing! Please come back next week.
