Raw Edible Cookie Dough

What’s your go-to comfort food?

Did you know they have edible cookie dough now? It’s true. There are no eggs in it, which makes it impossible for you to get salmonella. (But I like to live my life on the edge and I still eat raw cookie dough with eggs. I’m a rebel.) Technically, you’d have to eat the equivalent of six whole raw eggs to catch salmonella from cookie dough, and even I don’t have enough room in my stomach for that much dough. The best part of ready to eat cookie dough is you don’t have to make a batch of cookies to get it. You can bake some varieties of the new edible cookie dough, but why waste it?

Before you call me a heathen, I don’t eat it straight out of the package. I put non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt into a bowl with some frozen blueberries and strawberries, and then I had a few tiny circles of cookie dough. I need some kind of reward for eating Greek yogurt. The real inedible character in the story is the Greek yogurt, let’s be honest. 

Tiny bite-sized cookie dough pieces, perfect for sweetening up Greek yogurt and making the yogurt palatable

Aside from a few tiny marble-sized cookie dough pieces in my Greek yogurt, I’ve cleaned up my diet in the past several weeks – well…as much as my budget allows. There’s a reason for that, so watch this space.

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

My favorite game is the game of WordPress prompt vagary.

The song Wicked Game by Chris Issac is my second choice.

While I’m here, please watch this space for a new undertaking of mine. My last day with the agency is today, and I start my new job in the upcoming days. I have not had time nor inclination to write much, write well, or write at all. While I have not been motivated to write, I have been motivated to enjoy what is happening outside. I have even gotten back on the treadmill, which has for several years been a ghost town.

It’s been a time of tremendous change since March, most of which I didn’t ask for, but that’s life. We move on and we continue to move forward. Sometimes moving forward hangs a quick right, and we recalibrate. I hope you all will continue to give me grace as I navigate The New. Thanks, everyone.

The earth is round.

The only parts of the human body unable to get cancer are teeth and fingernails.

My back hurts.

WordPress needs new prompts.

Not Jazz or Country

What is your favorite genre of music?

But I’m down with most of the rest.

My favorites are 80s pop, 80s alternative, old-school rap, old-school hip-hop, some older stuff from the 60s and 70s and 80s, Fleetwood Mac and Simon and Garfunkel, the Police, 70s and 80s easy listening, some modern pop, some modern hip-hop, although please miss me with the autotune.

I don’t have a specific favorite genre. I’m all over the place, which makes for a very interesting playlist. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
