Garth: If my question had been serious, I would have immediately run out and bought cookies. As it is, I have only to endure until Colin-At-Kelpie delivers.
But this itself immediately raises the question: *Which* cookies? Store bought cookies are often, most often, offensively sweet; Oreos being an example. Horrible things, and they won't by any means solve any problem, let alone a fender problem. Fig Newtons are the conventional rear-jersey-pocket energy food, and all would be well except that Nabisco continues to put too much refined corn syrup in them; they're offensively sweet. Damn them! The Pepperidge Farm cookies are just meh; not as bad as Oreos, but hardly Rivendell quality (and after all, isn't Rivendell quality what we all aspire to in each and every aspect of our lives? I know that I do!). Sometimes the cheap cookies are best; those cheap 1 lb brown bags of ginger snaps -- meh also, but at least the $ to meh ratio is very low. Long ago my girlfriend used to make me "Ranger" cookies -- lots of roughage: oats, cocoanut, raisins; and just enough sugar to make them pleasant. But she is long, long gone. Biscotis: I think these are the Rivendellian *summum bonum*. But hard to find commercially, and frankly, I'm too lazy to make them. And when I mention the type, I raise the question, *which* biscotis? I refer to the Italian ones, but the Italian ones are very different from New Mexican ones, and I am sure that there are many others besides. Which ones to choose for Rivendellian solace? Patrick Moore, looking forward at the end (8/15) of the Dormition fast to once again eating animal products, including dairy in cookies, in ABQ, NM.
