Their Burdens are Greater Than Mine!

A good ploy if it works for you. I can't have that stuff in the house and avoid buying/making them like the highly addictive, highly toxic, crack-like plague they are for me.

Frozen cookies aren't a deal-breaker. Not at all. I'm happy to eat frozen chocolate, candy bars, cookies, whatever. Frozen bagels? Easy-peasy... wrap in a towel, nuke for 30 seconds, then put it in the toaster.

That's why I don't buy or make them. Other than Thanksgiving - New Years Day, of course, when I go baking crazy. All bets are off during that six weeks.

Yeah, that's probably why I'm not losing those last 10 lbs. Sigh! Sometimes I just crave something sweet, though. Another reason that I freeze the biscotti, besides the temptation, is that I only bake them once and toasting to thaw out takes the place of the second baking you need to do for biscotti. I'm sure you know what I mean, you make them.

My ceral of choice the past year or so is, Grape-Nut Flakes, and I likes 'em with a little half & half on 'em.
