Open Mouth and Insert Foot!
Well, that is how I felt after posting that last (miserable) post! I guess the moral of the story is that there are always going to be inconsiderate people, or people just having a bad day around all the time….c’est la vie, eh?
So, this is the big 4 pound tin of cookies I bought. I really did have to go rescue them from the monsters guys, as they nearly polished off the top layer! Okay, Michelle had some, and I had three. They sure are good!
Funny story, though….Ben only remembers those hard little Danish cookies that come in the blue tins. To me, they are too hard and dry. My father-in-law used to buy the Danish cookies, and when the kids came for a visit, he always offered them. They came in different shapes and had different variations….some had tiny raisin-looking fruits, (currents?) some had sugar sprinkled on top, and some were just plain made into different shapes.
Ben watched as I opened the big plaid tin. He looked at the top layer….then took a cookie. Mmmmm…..these are good! Then his hand reached in again, as he inquired where the “other” vareties were. I told him these are ALL Scottish shortbread. The look on his face was priceless! He has basically decided these cookies might surpass the Danish variety!

I love these cookies…I am restraining myself from going to the strore right now after I saw these pictures you posted!!
And where are mine? I haven’t seen any around here. I love them also. When my kids were little I would make shortbread from scratch. My “fluffy” figure does not need a whole batch now and I can’t eat just one.
Yum I so love shortbread!! But I’m on a diet right now so am glad I can’t get my hand on these delicious looking cookies. In the UK ‘Walkers’ is a very popular make of crisps (=potato chips I think you call them in the US??) and you can get lots of different flavours.
There are occasions when it’s nice to let off a little steam – and I’d guess most of us feel that way about lack of consideration.
Re shortbread, my favourite manufacturer is Deans of Huntly, but I have to restrain myself as well!
I’d agree with AHM about Deans’ shortbread – but you can make very delicious stuff yourself, using, if I recall correctly, semolina – makes a very short biscuit indeed!
