To my older sister, she would bake cookies and we ( actually just me )would eat them all, right out of the oven....Sorry Sis

How, I see you contemplating Mixing stirring rolling shaking And forever carefully taking Not to spill some on the floor In the bowl you're tightly holding With a spoon you're gently folding And with both hands you start molding Molding as you have before Then to the oven, you will take it And we'll wait while you now bake it But our eager eyes can't fake it If we eat one we'll want more As the sweet smell fills the rafters You know what we are really after With a loud but nervous laughter You sweep us all right out the door

Hello Jerry … brought back memories. Mum would cook mushrooms on top of our wood stove and us kids gobbled them down before she hardly took them off the spatula - thank you Jerry - Lindsay

Ya'know.....I thought I've lived life, but until I have a mushroom cooked on top of a wood stove I find myself totally unprepared to meet my maker ....just yet. Thanks Mate

Hello Jerry T. Curtis, there is nothing like baked cookies coming out from the oven. It is better than store bought cookies. Have a nice day my friend, So nice to meet you.

Thank you Darlene, You so right, and it seems to me....store bought are getting worse. Thank Darlene for your comment
