‘Tis Irish I Am

While I was out running errands yesterday, I went browsing about at WalMart. This store is not where I would typically look at baked goods, but when I saw a display with cookies for St. Patrick’s Day, I just couldn’t help myself.

As  drew in closer to the display, I saw two varieties of sugary treats….one was big, soft, cake-like sugar cookies.  Okay, so I admit it….those were what drew me (somewhat magnetically) over to the bakery. However, it was a package with small sugar cookies that caught my eye once there. You see, I am about the only one in the family that enjoys those soft giant-size cookies. (really great with a cup of tea) I really don’t want to commit myself to eating an entire package of cookies, so as I picked up the smaller ones, I just knew the family would like these!

I am not a fan of chocolate, or at least I can live without it…particularly of the dark variety. However, these cookies are so delightful, I just had to make a cup of my favorite French Vanilla tea to go along with a couple of these!

I ended up leaving the store with several grocery items, the cookies, and even a cheap tee shirt proclaiming “Kiss Me….I’m Irish”.

There is no way that marketing has any influence on my shopping. Yup, absolutely no way…….

    Oh, I love those big, fat cake-like cookies! Especially the kind with the frosting on them and the little round sprinkles. I can relate to not thinking a whole package is good for you though. I have been know to absent-mindedly eat too many while surfing the net or something.

    Ah, Katya, you are such an evil woman to tempt me like that! Now I have to go to back Wal-Mart before the ice storm, for some of those luscious-looking treats! Maybe I can force myself to keep just one, and give the rest to Carly and the gang………
    And while I’m there, maybe I’ll give in to the urge to buy one of those Irish shirts that I passed up yesterday.
    What a good day this is for cookies and French Vanilla tea by a roaring fire after my adventures at Wally-world.
