The other day I had a HUGE craving for a ginger cookie. Mike and I had just finished an epic walk and were about to start grocery shopping so it felt like the perfect storm: I walked off the cookie before I ate it and we could buy a cookie at the store. We went to that familiar green signed chain that rhymes with Swole Dudes but all of their cookies were massive —I'm talking the size of my head massive— and I just couldn't do it. So, instead we bought our random selection of root vegetables and went on our merry way.
But then! We stopped by the other, local generic grocery store on the other side of the street and lo and behold, at the bakery, they had COOKIE SAMPLES! And I'm not talking an eighth of a cookie, or even a quarter. They literally opened up a package of their bakery cookies and put a sample sign next to it. I felt like I won the cookie lottery. I mean, it was an oatmeal chocolate chip, not a softie ginger cookie, but I was in heaven! It's the small things guys. The small things and free cookies!
I'm a huge hard shell taco fan.
