Oh yeah, and speaking of cookies, Tyrant...

Here's a fun story. Hellbunny and my sister were gonna make cookies. See, when HB came back from New York and Massoftwoshits, she brought this shoebox full of awesome cookies she and her grandma baked. She wanted to bake cookies that would be way better than the ones she made with her grandma.

So, HB and my sister (in a rare mood, apparently, as she's usually about as domestic as people in ski masks razing three year olds with an uzi) badgered me until I took them to the grocery store so they could buy cookie materials like flour, chocolate chips, and tequila.

However, they did not have small bottles of Jose Cuervo there. We tried Walgreens, but unlike the Walgreens near where I live in San Francisco, the Tracy Walgreens does not have tequila. What the fuck? (Yes, this was actually not this weekend that's three minutes from ending, but the previous weekend, as I've had to go to Tracy both weekends so far.) Anyway, so we go to this fucking liquor store totally on the other side of Tracy, get the damn tequila and go home.

So HB and my sister start making the cookies. But they made some ... slight errors. See, as my mom revealed yesterday, the reason people use semi-sweet chocolate chips in cookies is that the heat of the oven melts regular chocolate turning your cookie into a slimey mess. They also followed the recipe on the back of the (not semi-sweet) chocolate chip bag for pancakes or something instead of cookies. The first batch came out as these giant, floppy, messy things that well, just weren't cookies. The second batch they forgot about for an hour until my mom smelled something burning and asked Hellbunny if they had left the oven on. Let's just say I've seen charcoal briquettes which were more cookie-like.

So we got MORE cookie material yesterday, and unless I miss my guess, they already made cookies back in Tracy which are no doubt fucking awesome and a million times better than the ones HB brought back from The East. Because that's how my luck works.

Then again, maybe it's got more to do with the fact that while they were making cookies last time I was watching the first ep of the new He-Man show (no, I didn't watch the movie version... I was too busy being agonizingly ill at the time) and then the first ep of Transformers Armada (which I already saw because I watched the movie.) Anyhow... I didn't exactly help. Plus I think they're gonna be pissed when they read this.

Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead.

Uhm, HB, you know I love the stuff you cook for me! Yeah!

P.S. Tequila made magaritas, not cookies, unlike my supposition.
P.S.P.S. The recipe my sister and Hellbunny used WAS on the back of the Ghirardelli bag. Unfortunately, it was the not-semi sweet bag and not the recipe for cookies.
