"Who Ate My Cookies?"





(R.H.) "Who ate my cookies?"

(Dewena) "I didn't eat your cookies."

(R.H.) "Well, I know I had two left."

(Dewena) "It wasn't me."

(R.H.) "Why don't we make some of your grandmother's cookies?"

(Dewena) "I'm paying bills, but I'll get you the recipe."

(R.H.) "Hey, we can blog about it!"

(Dewena) "Okay, I'll take the pictures, but you're still making the cookies."

(R.H.) "Have you ever heard the story of the Little Red Hen?"

(Dewena) "Yes, but I'm the one who knows where the recipe is."

"They were trying to get out of the jar...Cookies get claustrophobia too, you know!"

  1. Hahahaha! I love how your hubby says "we." Why don't "we" make cookies and then tries to bribe you with the "WE can blog about it." Lol!

    Hey, I say anything for a blog post, right? I once fished some pancakes out of the garbage just so I could blog about how I forgot about the pancakes and now they were as hard as a rock, and I took a picture of them too.

  6. I wonder how long that cookie jar stayed full? I'll use your recipe next time my grandchildren come to stay, if you don't mind, it sounds yummie.

    When my son was very small and was discovered with the empty jar, he said, "I was looking at them and they just jumped into my mouth." Now I understand: they had claustrophobia!

  7. RH, you take the cake or cookie as it is! Grandma's cookies are the best! Now I want some! Over the Christmas candy, actually hid some in the pantry away from a candy lover husband. Sis, love your blogs, nice to open up this beautiful Saturday morning. Your writings are the best!

  12. So good to see R.H. in your blogpost!!! Wow!

    I wish I had some of my grandma's recipes, on either side. I wonder what happened to them? My Aunt Ruth did all the baking for her mother as she got older (she was unmarried) and I wonder if my cousin has some of her recipes. A good thing to plan on finding out this spring!
