Okay...TRUE STORY...

Make Love, Not Cookies

I think the Cookie Monster said it best: “Me want cookie!!”  There’s a time in everyone’s life where your single, or you are in a relationship and a bit lonely or maybe you are just starring in your own reality show about your current love life featuring: yourself, the Sahara Desert, and making a batch of chocolate chip cookies night after night.  Replacing those yummy, warm treats might be filling a void in your stomach, but we all know they aren’t filling a void where you are looking for it the most.

I had a girlfriend once tell me that she would just go straight for the cookie batter.  Cooking the actual end product just took too much time.  Another friend confessed to me that she tried to replace her sex-starved foods with carrots.  That failed miserably because what is stimulating about carrot sticks?  ”Oh, this carrot stick is so….healthy?”

Maybe we turn to indulging and rich foods in these times because creating these masterpieces in the kitchen is giving us a highly stimulating process, leaving you feeling satisfied once the oven timer goes off. Instant results without having to try to hard.  

Maybe instead of replacing sex with cookies…or cakes…or chocolate long Johns, we need to start focusing on the bigger picture, here: When is Tollhouse going to come out with a Trans Fat and calorie free cookie?  I guess I will be on the mailing list waiting for announcement until that times comes.
