And Then Prometheus' Brother Stole A Cookie From the Gods, And Everybody Said It Was Kind of Gluttonous

I'm going to have to give Liz Lovely's Gluten-Free Ginger Molasses Vegan Cookies a stellar review.

They get a seat in the Snacking Pantheon. The only thing that I don't love about them is that they're SUPER high in sugar, so I'm not eating much, and saving the rest for later. I'm currently having... shall we say... blood sugar struggles? So I've been trying to limit my sugar intake for the week and balancing out the sugar I do eat with kuzu root and lots of daikon and seaweed to promote healthy intestines.

PRACTICING SAFE SNACKING

I always say that if you're going to splurge, go homemade or go home. That's why the biggest, baddest snacking I do is when a big box of Southern Scratch comes in the mail. I have cut back on my Olive and Sinclair habit after I realized that in the month of July, I spent approximately eighty U.S. dollars on artisan chocolate.

The problem I have with buying these high-sugar snacks (like uh... the one I totally just bought and ate) is that the cost to your body (and wallet) is rarely worth the quality that you get. They also tend to be less fresh, more stale, and less enjoyable than homemade goods.

Plus the easy accessibility (assuming you live in the giant lesbian vegan gluten-free race-blind macrobiotic cooperative socialist feminist bra-burning paradise that is Cambridge Massachusetts) means that you will probably enjoy the cookie less. They're not as special. Those of you who know me know that I like things special. I consider myself to be incredibly special. I am the kind of person who irons my sheets if I feel that my life is lacking in sparkle.

So I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I'm going to continue reading Amy Hoffman's "An Army of Ex-Lovers" and eat my hippie vegan food while I read about Cambridge in the 1970s.... mmm...

mmm...

groovy...
