my blog, my rules

my birthday.

I interrupt the usual feed to share my birthday. Don't fret, there are cookie pieces involved.

It was made clear, by me, that there should be a cake with my name on it this year.

Oreo Cookies 'n Cream, natch.

wafering affections

Wafer cookies have always been fine by me.

Same with most any game in which Mario features prominently.

Here we go!!!

reese's piece of mind

I went north to go south. By that I mean, I went to Boston to go to South End Buttery*.


I couldn't turn down a peanut butter cookie sprinkled with Reese's Pieces. As one would expect coming from a place named as this bakery is, the cookie was divinely buttery and generally decadent--well worth the trip.


* I went to Boston to see a friend and he took me there. He knows how much I love cookies because we've been friends a long time, he follows my blog, and I reminded him at least nine times in the first day of my visit.

get my fill

In my package of Double Stuf I found one Oreo with an upside down cookie imprinting the Oreo design into the filling (pictured above) and I had an Aha! moment.

As an Oreo filling lover it was clear to me that Double Stuf Single Cookiee should be the next Nabisco offering.

You're welcome.

Oreo my darlin'

I am completely enamored of Double Stuf Oreos. And I believe them to be greater than just 2x a Single Oreo. But are they actually? I wasn't confident, so I decided to stack some cookies...

mooning over macaroons

I finally bought one (well, two--but I sent one on a road trip) of those Le Pain Quotidien macaroons I've heard such amazing things about.

Sometimes people are confused about macaroons, so let's have a lightening quick lesson. This is a coconut macaroon which is not to be confused with a french macaron (I am also quite fond of those).

The coconut macaroon was quite crunchy on the outside and really coconut-y and soft on the inside.

I also bought a roll. But this is not Roll-ing with Allison, so that is all I will say about that.
