It’s my own fault, really…

Posted by on December 16 at 15:03 PM

In the midst of this cookie fuss Dan’s boyfriend, Terry, decided to share one of his cookie recipes with me while daring me to guess the secret ingredient. I didn’t think much of it, since he promised it wasn’t laced with pot, so I took a bite. The cookie wasn’t good. It had a familiar, sorta unpleasant flavor. But another bite turned on the light bulb as I realized that the cookie tasted exactly like what the house smelled like when my mom would cook gross BACON in the morning. Surely someone wouldn’t put BACON in a cookie, right!? Well five minutes ago, when I walked into Brad and Dan’s office finally hoping to confirm what the secret ingredient is, Dan asked “Did you eat one?” I replied with a yes, and then he asked “Oh no, are you a vegetarian!?” Again, I confirmed, and Brad and Dan burst into laughter.

I haven’t eaten meat for about 12 years and I just broke my run with a gingerbread cookie made with bacon fat?! Ew. But whatever. I probably needed the protein.
