I'm Beyond Excited
...........hold me down!




Yes they are! Grandma J was in H.E.B. yesterday, picking up some fresh produce and some other healthy stuff when she saw something that almost made her pee her bloomers stopped her dead in her tracks.



Dear mother of all things holy.....it's not a knock off of America's best cookies evah...it's the real McCoy. It's the Original MOTHER'S Animal Cookies. When Mother's went out of business, the skies thundered and lightning ripped through the valley.......the cookie gods were angry, and so was Grandma J. The news devasted Grandma J's good friends all over the world too.


Look at them.... can you almost taste them? Guess what Grandma J had for breakfast this morning? Uh huh...correcto!
Guess what she's having for lunch?



This is what she's having for lunch. Another Mother's Cookie favorite that's back!
It seems Kellogg's of Battlecreek Michigan is now the keeper of the Mother's Cookie recipes! And all is good in the world.


One more thing........


Ryan, you and Cam have to ask Michael to buy you some of your favorite cookies ASAP!

THAT'S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES

I love these.....
And I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that Mother's Cookies was going out of business a few months ago. They started in Oakland California when a paperboy decided making cookies was more profitable, so he stole bought the rights to the recipe for vanilla cookies from an old lady who he coerced and bit on the hand was ready to give it up for a more profitable venture in
bootlegging her wine.

Mother's made a variety of cookies, but for the sake of keeping my brain uncluttered, we will focus on these pink and white Animal Cookies. I haven't seen them since I was in California in September. Even then, the ones I found were at Ralph's market...and they were Orange....for Halloween! I bought two large bags....and was I happy.

Just when I was willing to switch to fried twinkies, I came across these Archway Animal Cookies at Target(pronounced tar- zhay). Not to confuse anyone, but Archway IS Mother's, and Mother's IS Archway.

I couldn't wait to get them home and inhale half the bag share them.


Philip Johnny Bob and friend loved them....

...and soon they were all gone!


So, I rushed back to Target to get some more......



Not so fast! the shelf was bare, like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

But, I found a replacement. The Keebler elves were on the ball , ready to step up to the plate and make us all happy.

I hurried home with my prize possession...

Phil J. Bob couldn't wait to dig in.....but wait! Something is wrong


These things are crap! Seriously

Unedible, even for Phil.

Would you eat them? Take them back? Or just trash them?
