Oh Huggles, that sounds horrid.

i love thse cookies called PIMS. cookie base, jelly on top and then coated in chocolate.

and flakies? Yeah, the are awesome. so, so, so fake and stuff but super delicious.

My grandma used to make cookies with pieces of fruit in them. Strange, mushy, mystery fruit... It was like fruit cake in cookie form.

I think those marshmallow cookies with jelly and chocolate were called Mallomars. My Mom used to get them all the time too. She would usually put out a plate of cookies for after dinner and I remember one time when we came in all of the cookies were scattered around with the chocolate, jelly and marshmallow missing and just the cookie base left. One of our cats was happily eating the marshmallow off of the last cookie having already finished off the rest!

I love fig newtons too. Those fruitcake type of cookies - could they have been hermits? I love those too! Heck, I think I just love cookies!

[Marilyn. 340]

yeah Mallomars seem similar but they don't have the jelly stuff in the middle... I think they were called Dream Puffs

[Marilyn. 340]

did any of you ever get those sugar wafer cookies?.. my mom would sometimes buy those...

[Colleens 40]

I think these are the ones Dare calls them Viva puffs and Kraft calls them Dream Puffs

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Interesting, a discussion about cookies.

I love those ones by Peek Freans that are two cookies and it has the cream in the middle and the little jelly thing in the middle. I always eat around the jelly dot in the middle then eat it last!

I pretty much like any cookie, not too fond of the soft ones though.

Speaking of Fig Newtons I have some on the table! I got them for 1.50 at Big Lots. I love that store.

[Hugglebuggles 60]

mmmm I love those wafer cookies, especially the pink ones! I haven't had one in forever

My husband loves fig newtons, but I'm not really sure why. They're ok, but nothing to drool over. This is the man that won't eat any kind of fruit... but he loves fig newtons. Go figure.

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Mm, wafer cookies.

I love all the flavours, but they're SO bad for you. So much sugar and calories for what they are...

[Sprailenes 47]

I like the dare maple cookies...

[ashenflowers 5]

mmm cookies... normally I'd be all over the conversation like chocolate on strawberries, but I had to bake cookies 3 times this week so I think I'm cookied-out. lol

[Peachey 10]

Hey that's cool Peachey! I think we're going to be up there in a couple weeks. We've a wedding we're going to in WV on June 12th, and then we're heading up to Hershey and Lancaster for a few days of touring. Not sure how much we'll see as I don't want to be gone to long, (and we're driving)but we definitely want to tour the Amish Country. I hear the cooking is fantastic! I'll have to remember that treat you just mentioned too, sounds yummy!

Cool! I might take a trip to Sudbury that week, pending a few things DON'T happen lol, but if I don't, I could totally take you to a good ol Lancaster county restaurant. Also, if I'm not around, don't forget to try shoo-fly pie. Yumm!

This is more like bizarre topic and not off-topic but Im too tired to start a new thread and I just want to get the jitters out of my system. And I cannot find the vent thread? Whoa, nobody venting now?

So early this morning between 1 am and 2:30 am, some super drunk and probably really high idiot (and he really was an idiot), broke into our house and literally destroyed our roof top deck. We have no idea how he got in the premises... no broken doors or windows, and the roof top deck is literally 4 floors from above the street.

What this douche bag probably did was climb up the roofs of the smaller houses adjacent to ours and then managed to climb up to the house of our neighbors, which is a little closer in height to ours, and then climb up to our deck.

He basically tore the legs of our deck apart, literally kicked all the legs off and threw them across the street. One of the pieces hit a car of our front neighbors who are away... And he also got a leg of the deck and smashed our satellite TV (basically hit it enough that it is now folded onto itself).

Our neighbors from across the street were still up partying and they saw this douche bag sitting on our deck with his legs hanging off the deck, and throwing broken pieces of the deck. So at first, they thought that the guy lived in the place and just went mental, but they realized that he broke in when he started banging our satellite dish.

The noise also woke my husband up and he went up the deck and saw the intruder, and started yelling for me to get out of the house and call the police.

Of course my reaction was to get up, call the cops and get my tripod and run upstairs to try to beat the sh*t out of this alleged intruder.

So the intruder managed to escape - we think he jumped over our deck to the parking garage next to our house and ran a block or so. But the cops found him after 20 minutes. The guy was totally out of it, though he admitted to destroying our deck.

So now, we have absolutely no railing on the front part of our deck, we have a flattened satellite dish, and we are going to install top notch security system in our house.

We are really fortunate that this happened last night and not a few nights before, because we were in Sarasota until Saturday night... and the guy decided to stay on the roof and destroy our deck and not come inside the house and kill us.

Glad to hear you are safe. Yikes.
