I heard on TV today--funny statement for me b/c I am NOT a TV watcher--the average person eats 300 cookies every year. I was watching Food Network while simultaneously working out at the gym this morning. The fact that I was watching people cook kind of contradicts the whole "working out thing", but nevertheless this "assertion" left me wondering?
Here goes the conversation I had with myself: Really? Just 300 cookies? I am not sure I believe that. (Well for me maybe I do believe it b/c sweets are not really me thing) So okay...there are 365 days in a year. That number times 10 would equal? Aghh...calculator where are you? Wait...Julie, seriously, I think you can mange this one in your head...it is a 10, just add a zero. Got it! 3,650. That is 3,650 cookies! Yes, 3,650 cookies that my brother eats in a year. Because I am convinced that he indeed eats about 10 cookies every night. (maybe I am exaggerating a little bit) I believe Stacy could provide the evidence: Nestle Break-n-Bake Chocolate Chip packages. So I started thinking, if you are going to eat cookies at least eat them in style. Like try these Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Jar from Sarabeth's Kitchen. They are handmade, come in an awesome reusable food grade plastic jar. Aren't they cute?
*I must add that the price tag for Sarabeth's cookies might help break a 10 cookies per night habit!
The cookies are good, but the restaurant in New York City is outstanding. The food is so yummy. The oatmeal at breakfast, the homemade tomato soup...I am getting hungry just thinking about it! So I guess the alternative for now is off to bed! Night!
