I'm counting my blessings. I got scammed today. Thankfully, I caught it quickly, stopped all my accounts, cancelled the compromised card and lost nothing - but I'm still angry - more with myself, but I'm pleased that all is in order now. Still, may the fleas of a thousand camels nestle in the pubes of the scammers.
So, it's nice to have something better to write about. COOKIES!
Questions, as always, come from Sunday Stealing.
Allegedly it's National Oreo Cookie Day. Hand on heart, Oreo's aren't a big thing in Australia and I find them very boring. We have far better biscuits here. Seriously, American's don't know what they are missing.
1. Are you able to pass by a plate of cookies and not take one or are you a bit of a "Cookie Monster?"
I used to be a cookie monster. Now, I try to stay away or just have one. There's too much sugar in them for my liking.
2. Tell us about your favorite cookie. Have your tastes changed since you were a kid?
I'm going to talk Australian biscuits (cookies) here because we have a completely different culture.
My favourite biscuits are my grandmother's recipe Yo Yo biscuits, also known as Melting Moments. Butter, icing sugar, custard powder, a bit of flour and vanilla, held together with some almond icing. They are the bomb.
My next favourite are Anzac biscuits, but they have to be very thin, crunchy on the outside and a little bit chewy ion the inside. I had a colleague in Darwin who made they and they were life changing. I still think about them.
Of packet biscuits, I'm a big fan of Arnott's Venetian biscuits.
Though the lemon crisps are very good too - a little salty, a little sweet.
3. Enquiring minds want to know if you are a dunker and, if so, do you dunk in milk, coffee, or tea?
Yes, I'm a dunker. Preferably in milky hot tea, though I can do a Tim Tam Slam with coffee. I used to get told off for it when I was a kid.
Then there is the Time Tam Slam. Tim Tam Slams, you ask. Tim Tams are an iconic Australian chocolate biscuit. What you do is you bite off opposing corners of the Tim Tam and then suck your coffee through one corner. It's a very Australian thing. It's good. You need to demonstrate one to get through your Australian citizen ship test.
4. It is that time of year and they are selling them on every corner and in front of every store! Do you buy Girl Scout cookies and if you do, which is your favorite?
Alas, girl scout cookies aren't a thing over here. They used to have these really good plain ones when I was a child, but I've not seen them in decades.
5. Raw cookie dough. Yay or Nay?
Ah yes, but only in Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
