Well, that was a stretch, right, that cookie title, but mama went bonkers today trying to replenish all the cookies she has been taking to art classes and offering to a language class she and papa go to each week, and in her family, an empty cookie tin was like an empty kibble bowl!
So papa and I have been going nuts with the smell of ginger, cinnamon, and cloves from the ginger snaps. and the perfume of toasted almonds from the almonds crisps and we are both about to dive into those tins and roll around in the crumbs from each!
(I’m going to have to be happy with a string to chew on, I just know it!)
Aren’t spice cookies a great smell? When mama and papa wanted to sell their house in California, their friend, who was a real estate agent, told mama to bake cookies or focaccia just before showing the house. Worked wonders! But the person who bought it wanted to know if mama’s cookies were included in the price, haha.
I am off to wheedle a crumb of a ginger snap if I’m lucky.
I probably won’t be.
Maybe mama will make tuna snaps next time!!!
We’ve never had those cookies LouLou. We’ve don’t think we’ve ever smelled ’em either. But, mommy says spice is a pawsum smell. Enjoy those crumbles. Big hugs
Luv ya’

Oh, you are missing out on some nums, but kibble is better!
Cookies are the best ! One of the local bakeries make molasses cookies that are the closest to my Grandma’s/Mom’s ginger cookies ! There is so much memory tied up in cookies !
You hit it right on the cookie, Mary….and fudge does that, too, for so many. No one makes fudge any longer. Just as well for me…the smell of chocolate drives me nuts.
Welllll- mama is a MESS – her last night in Paris, out with dear friends who are cat lovers – but love doggies too – and they had a LOT to drink! Way too much, in fact. But c’est la vie. Cookies sound great ight now, after champagne and BEAUCOUP de wine but hey, we cats & dogs have to keep them in line, right? Another expo this fall (must talk to YOUR mama about this) and, of course WE will be the stars. Supermodels, you and I. We are already stars in Caravaggio’s Bacchus, so where are our royalties? I’m waiting.
Oh, I hope your mama is okay…but to have an expo, wow, is she on a roll, or what?
Hmmm, sounds delish. You are so fortunate, Loulou, to have a mama who likes to bake.
Well, it is true, I am, and she gives me a tiny taste of butter….
