oatmeal cookies.....wtf?

[strollingbones]

so i am a sucker for oatmeal cookies with raisins...so i realize i am running low on brown sugar and raisins...i like golden for my cookies....so off to shitty kitty (aka food lion)
i get a few things...my brown sugar and my golden raisins....i get home i am well into the cookie recipe when i realize ...no golden raisins....whoa...no brown sugar...wtf?

so i call the shitty kitty and guess what....they left out one of my bags....

okay i can live with that..human error and all...but the lady on the phone keep laughing...even after i told her ...i was not amused...to make it worse...she is the ex gf of a long time friend of mine....

so i call a friend who owns one of them out in the middle of nowhere...and yes it costs more here..stores...

"ya got golden raisins"

"no just the shiveled black ones"

"damn it"

"are you really pissed off cause i dont have golden raisins"

so then i have to tell her the story...which amuses her....

hubby is on his way to her place to get the shivereled up raisins....

yes he is a champ....but he is always getting beer....which he pointed out...a good loving wife would have gotten him today...

Although I do have to say, my kids have some pretty hip parents.

I'm sitting here listening to Green Day, Sum 41, etc.

I remember my parents listening to Carly Simon.

God created milk for just such an adventure.

Yeah the gold raisins! I once used those because it's all we had and BAM that's the ticket. I'll never go back to the dark ones. For 15 years I couldn't make a decent batch of cookies. The place we rented had an old oven and after replacing stuff like baking powder and getting a new cookie sheet I was sure that was the problem. New home, new oven, kick ass cookies. Life's good.
