one of my sisters, Les (sister2), texts me right before the show to say i need to give gus something on the fourth to stave off his reactions to the fireworks. she says her daughter Reagans dog shit all over the place whenever he heard a boom (how this would be any different than a normal day with gus is anyones guess).
so whats great about the gutter: you must have been thru this before.
do you have any advice.
i don't think it will be too severe, but just to be safe>
any products, practices?
much appreciated - gg (brother1)
Is there a cookie that instantly takes you back to someone special? Spill the crumbs—I want to know what sweet treats live in your memory.
I’ll go first. My parents? Total cookie lovers. . We always had a stash of Pinwheels (those chocolate-covered marshmallow beauties), old-school iced oatmeal cookies, and those ridiculously fun frosted animal cookies that made snack time feel like a party. It was such a treat for us kids to have cookies.
And when the cookie jar ran dry? No problem. I’d play mad kitchen scientist—mixing margarine (yes, the fake butter), sugar, and a little flour until I had a makeshift cookie dough. Desperate times, delicious measures.
Your turn. What cookie takes you there?
