Here’s a few things I’ve learned from life… they definitely have nothing to do with cookies: Don’t laugh when someone asks you out on a date. They’ll think you’re laughing at them.

Two things are unacceptable: I keep forgetting to buy butter, and there’s a spider on my ceiling that my cat can’t reach. Two solutions have presented themselves: Make vegan cookies, and construct some sort of winged apparatus to send my cat into flight, thus into spider hunting range. So far, I’ve got the cookies. The [...]

I might have a problem. I check the weather. I sometimes watch the news… just for the weather. I’m obsessed with the weather. See… if it’s raining then I can’t go for a bike ride. If I can’t go for a bike ride then I have to find some sort of other exercise to do [...]
