I can get Anna's in Safeway, as well as IKEA, so I don't know if that one counts.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Oh god, Bergers. I had them ONCE. They're a sort of worst nightmare for someone who doesn't like much sweetness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I will accept homemade as long as it's not a recipe you can make yourself. Something your Tia makes for Easter would work.
In that, case Eccles cakes. They are basically pie crust with a lemony raisin filling, made as a bar cookie. YUMMERS. My grandmother makes them best, but my parents can collaborate to make a good version -- my dad is the pastry chef, but my mom knows what it should taste like.

OK, this is kind of hilarious. What I described above is not at all the Eccles cake of wikipedia. What I'm talking about is much more like a Chorley cake, apparently.
OK, one more. It's a slightly lazier version of this Eccles cake.

Dang! Not culty enough. But I like the answers I'm getting.

From Jesse's link:
Also related to the Chorley cake is East Lancashire's "Sad Cake"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Black and white cookie, from any real NYC-area bakery. They've only got packaged ones around here, as far as I can tell, and they just aren't the same.

Yeah, Anna's are available in a lot of grocery stores--they're quite yummy, and the ginger thins are good too.
I mostly like cookies i can make myself. I was just at Whole Foods with Plei and family, and they had samples of some oatmeal butterscotch cookies that were better than the ones I made. But EVILLY, they did not have them for sale!! They claimed they did, but they weren't in the cookie cabinet. I had to buy a couple other kinds, to soothe myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Eh, nothing. I am not of the cult cookie people.
I have plans after 6. I think it's unlikely this headache will go away before 6. If I still have this headache at 6 I need to go to the ER. Do I tell the person I have (unspecified) plans with this? Or do I take him to dinner and then tell him?
Him and I both know if I go to the ER when he's even slightly available, I'm going with him. I just don't want him to be thinking that our plans are probably hospital again. I feel so boring.
I guess what I should do is eat and sleep and other things that minimise the headache as much as possible, and deal with 6 when 6 is closer.
