Yesterday Marcel went to the Friday market to pick up these little specialty cookies that everyone at home absolutely drools over. Our area is the only place that sells them, so when he bought six bags of them, the guy commented that it looked like Marcel was going to have a party. Marcel laughed and explained to him that these cookies were famous outside of our area and that we were taking them with us on vacation. He laughed and said, “Yeah, right.” Marcel was serious and told him so. He was amazed and then handed Marcel two new specialty cookies. Very large heart shaped cookies with one half dipped in chocolate. We’re taking one home with us but the other we shared. I think it’s better than the originals- and I didn’t think that was possible.

You know Maggie- they are my favorites. I don’t generally buy them, simply because if I get started eating them, then it’s like an addiction, I can’t stop. My favorites are the ones that have almond slivers on one side. They are the most delicious. I had a really good recipe for some- I’ll see if I can’t find it sometime soon and send it to you.
