That Special Cookie Crunch
4:57PM, June 21st, 2006
The reason I haven’t posted is that I’ve been spending every waking hour (those which I haven’t been at rehearsals), working on a website for a new project. This website is becoming more and more involved, but I haven’t accepted any compromises. It takes twice as long to do the last 10% or so they say. I’ll be announcing it officially very soon, but until then, here’s a teaser:
In other news, I have long been an advocate that the best chocolate-chip biscuits you could buy (legally, at least), are the K-Mart brand Decadent Chocolate Chip cookies. They are thick, crumbly, delicious with large chocolate chunks in them which taste great. While they were temporarily ursurped by the Mrs. Fields’ cookies, the K-Mart cookies don’t require your heart to be beaten back into operation due to a large stream of butter travelling straight through the heart.
The Decadent Chocolate Chip cookies have a lot going for them, not to mention the fact that you get quite a few in a box (rather than Mrs. Fields singularly-packed offering of eight. However, you have to be near a K-Mart to grab them, not just any old supermarket.
That is, until NOW.
As those who tend to inform themselves about these issues will already know, Coles and K-Mart are both part of the Coles-Myer conglomerate, and Coles have recently taken to repackaging the Decadent Chocolate Chip biscuits in their own packaging. You still get the great taste, the huge chocolate chunks, and a whole pile in a box, and now they are available at your local Coles under the title “You’ll Love Coles Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies”. Ignore someone randomly named Sandra or Barbara spouting something inane like “Why bake when I can go to Coles!”. They really are worth the $4.23 every now and then.

I believe that I ate 3/4 of a box of Decadent Chcolate Chip Cookies the first day I ever bought them. They’re worth the $4.23 every time the box empties.

How much did they pay you for that plug?
I prefer Woolies home brand choc chip cookies. Mainly cos i’m a tight arse!

This post made me laugh because for a couple of weeks I’ve been craving those K-Mart Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies, but never thought of it when I was in K-Mart. Thankfully I’m in Coles ALL the time and I will be looking for these cookies the next time I’m there. Thanks!

Kevin - Yes, they just are that good. I love it wen you bite into a chocolate chunk.
Steph - I bet you are the kind of girl who gets the 1-ply, industrial strength toilet paper too. There are some places that you shouldn’t be cheap, and I believe toilet paper and biscuits are two of the top. Remember, this is coming from possibly the thriftiest person on the planet.
Cath - A new commenter! You’re so much better than the old ones (don’t tell them that). I feel completely validated - I know now I have helped someone through this blog.

I must say my house is stocked with nothing but the finest quilted Kleenex two ply toilet paper, Tyson dosnt think we noticed but when he comes over on his annual ‘lets go over Greg’s and just eat and take stuff because he’s paying for it and i’m not’ visit, we know he sneaks into the bathroom with his purse and spools off the toilet paper roll, stuffs in it the glomesh purse and takes it home for his own use .. not that we mind.

Tyson, is this new web page something for me? .. is it something i’d want to visit?

Mimi [truncated] - Can you really blame me, that doona stuff is nice! And besides, I have to do that after you put a dumping ban on me, limiting my use of your facilities to only Grade One operations. In the toilet bowl, at least.
