"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I can get Anna's in Safeway, as well as IKEA, so I don't know if that one counts.

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

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.

I will accept homemade as long as it's not a recipe you can make yourself.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

Love Berger cookies. Not sure if we have local cookies here.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

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.

I think this is a wise plan. So, I hope you're napping right now.

And, curse you people. Now I really want cookies. I love cookies.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I went into a bakery in Squirrel Hill once and walked out with a cookie that was sort of like a brownie baked inside a cookie and nearly died from the tastiness. Can't remember the bakery or the name of the cookie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, I am absolutely LOVING Dirty Sexy Money. So fun and over the top!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm quite familiar with the Anna's Ginger Thins, but have never run into the Lemon Thins, which would probably be a great hit with me provided they're also cow-free.

Cult cookies from the Boston-Cambridge area: the Dancing Deer cookies, especially the Molasses Ginger and my not-so-secret vice, the Cherry Almond Ginger Chews which are pretty much minor occasions of sin in cookie form.

Unfortunately most premium cookies are cow-intensive, so when I come across some that aren't, I latch onto them with fervor. (Sadly, most vegan cookies tend to be whole wheat and avoid sugar like the plague.)
