These little bite-sized Crisp Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites are seriously going to punch self-restraint in the face.
That’s the problem with bite-sized cookies: you eat, and you eat, and you eat, then pretty soon your belly starts to resemble a round cookie itself.
By then it’s too late. Yup, too late for any regrets, so you might as well take a swig of coffee (or milk) and have a few more. And that’s how it went in my home this past weekend—cookies and plumbers.
Yup, plumbers. I had to feed them since I had them out on a Sunday morning to dry out the garage and upstairs. Apparently, some flap on a pipe broke and a half hour later the garage gave way to a hot, humid, water logged floor—the only thing water damaged thus far—lots of my wood boards that I store in the garage for shooting. Wah!!
The good news – I get to buy more. The bad news – I have to buy more. So until the garage is dried out, the pictures are going to be spare around here. Thankfully all this “spareness” will subside by the end of the week.
