Anybody want to buy some cookie dough?

The dough is from Otis Spunkmeyer.

There are some restaurant discount cards. The Chick-fil-a card is only good in Watauga, but the other two are good at DFW participating locations. The first one is for Quizno's, Arby's, Popeye's and Bennigan's (RIP), and the second is for Sonic, Mickey Dee's, and Domino's.

I'll see if I can find a better list of participating restaurants.

It's much better now that it's ready to bake. I remove it from the "tub" and put small amounts in ziplock bags.

The kids still prefer eating it straight from the freezer.

I bought a tub of sugar cookie dough one year and I ended up throwing most of it out because of freezer burn.

This stuff comes shipped in boxes, with a plastic bag holding the faux-cookies (how's that, Kusch?) inside the box. The say the "Innovative bag in box guarantees your last batch is as fresh as your first" (italics mine). I would not have said "guarantees".

In the interest of full disclosure I have to say that I made this post. Jeff was still signed on. I wouldn't want anyone to think that Jeff buys any fundraising items.

I was suspicious of him cleaning out the freezer!

We started our cookie dough sale last Friday. It must be the season. One elementary school in our district has their fundraising organized before the end of summer and puts a brochure in the parents hand the minute they register.

Cookies MUST be made from scratch. As should cakes, pies, brownies, and bars.

Mostly true, with one caveat: I buy Otis Spunkmayer cookie dough for my boys to eat as 'dough."

I have no idea why, but I am completely irrational about peeps eating my cookie dough when I'm trying to bake cookies. Like, throwing the bowl of dough across the kitchen irrational. So I bake alone or I don't bake, and I buy dough for them to eat. Everyone is safer that way.

This cracks me up. I can't be exactly why, but it is so cute!

I like how you have a plan to keep everyone safe from flying cookie dough and yet give them their treat.

I'm with Lynn on this one - I can not bake if the mrs is around - she drives me crazy taking dough.

I like to think I'm not a complete sociopath.

SEE!! I'm not the only crazy one!! I truly wish I knew why this sets me off so. I almost scare myself, it is so pathologically irrational. I accused my mom of trying to drown me in cookie dough as a baby, but she claims she would have eaten it, not wasted it on drowning me when the 'crick' would work better anyway.

"Crick" is NOT suthren! It's something else. I grew up in Wisconsin and that's what we called them, too. Cricks. Not creeks, which is what I say now. I'm such a ho.

Also, I have about 75 expired store/delivery/food cards from past fundraisers I'd gladly sell to you for a discount. And, wrapping paper that has rat turds all over it up in the attic that I'd give to you for free. Turds a bonus.

You can keep your old cards, I'll match 'em with half an Entertainment 2001 book. You can keep your rodent excrement as well. Molly bought a hamster with her birthday money. Molly does not like pets you can't pet. Molly takes "Linda"(don't ask me where she got the name) out of the cage at every opportunity. Mrs. Rexer is wearing out our 10 year old vacuum cleaner. At least the hamster wheel doesn't squeak.

Well at least your poops are minute. Although disgusting and spread everywhere. Like rat turds on wrapping paper. You need to talk to your relatives about that.

I would buy some (:)) but, as some of the regulars know, we don't have a working oven.

As far as school fundraisers, we had a couple a year (this is circa late 1950s/early-mid 1960s in rowhouse parish in Philadelphia).

In the spring, it was chocolate bars. At Christmas, it was cans of hard candy and choclate straws and the like (made by Plantation, IIRC), plus wrapping paper and boxes of cards.

Since my Mom owned a card and gift shop, I never even bothered to take order sheets for the wrapping paper and cards.

Since, at one point, we had five Ferrante cousins in my parish school and five Ferrante cousins at the next parish over, we kind of took turns with who the big seller was.

BTW, generations of Philadelphia kids (including Boonie & myself, although we didn't know each other at the time), have gone fishing at Wissahickon CRICK.

Crick it is. Viva the CRICK!

Still no good. Scratch is the only way to go.

I'll have to say Otio Spunkmayer makes the best cookie dough.

This threw me off a bit. Tribe is using my "real" name talking to someone whose name is not that.

It was weird.

News flash! I figured out why Molly named her hamster "Linda". It's after the actress who played the female lead in the Terminator movie, Linda Hamsterton.
