Victoria’s Irresistibles

Forget Victoria’s Secret

It is December 10^th

and I am chewing on a homemade cookie

called IRRESISTIBLE

I KID YOU NOT!

I’m chewing and swallowing the yummy goodness

and my mouth

hell, my nose

and my taste-buds

are drunk, in the after fresh-baked glow

of granola, organic oats

chocolate chips

dried cranberries

almonds

vanilla

organic cane and brown sugar

and did I mention

chocolate chips?

And butter

organic flour

baking powder

baking soda

and salt so

SCREW

THE DIET

and tomorrow!

I’m eating

another damn COOKIE!
