On a summer evening at baseball game far from home, your mind tends to think odd thoughts (okay, my mind drifts that way most nights, but this was especially odd) so roll with this one…
Forbidden Encounter (a joint Harlequin Romance and Food Network production)
Ranch Sunflower Seeds: “Cake Pop, you look deliciously pink tonight. I could gobble you up.”
Cake Pop: “Oh, stop it! What if they find us? You know we shouldn’t be seen together.”
Ranch Sunflower Seeds: “Baby, don’t worry about what they’ll say.”
Cake Pop: “’Don’t worry about what they’ll say?’ Are you crazy?”
Ranch Sunflower Seeds: “Only crazy with love for you.”
Cake Pop: “Oh sunflower seeds, hold me.”
The End (and please accept my apologies for one of the stupidest posts of all-time, but hey, at least it’s notable for something).
For several days now, I’ve lived in denial. Denial that my favorite shorts have ceased to function. Denial that they will soon leave my shorts lineup, due to their right front pocket developing a large non-seam tear.
Well, I was doing what I could to extend the life of my favorite shorts. I had placed my cell phone in the pocket with the hole, since the phone is too large to fall through. I had also transferred my wallet and keys to my left front pocket. All was good and I seemed to be getting by, until this afternoon.
There I was gleefully mowing the yard (okay, reluctantly mowing the yard), when I noticed my wallet on the ground. Oh well, I thought, it must have slipped out of my pocket at some point. I returned the wallet to my previously secure non-tear pocket and soon I found my keys on the ground. Now, my left front pocket also had a hole. To make matters worse, the hole was much larger than the right front pocket. My pants were suffering a total pocket melt down.
Behold the scope of my massive left front shorts pocket hole. Small planets could pass through that baby.
As an emergency measure, I transferred my wallet to the my left rear pocket, which is a location I have not used since I moved to baggy pants in the 1990s. Yes, once I ditched the skin tight jeans… Hey, I am going to stop you right there. I insist that I did look good in those 1989 skin tight jeans with the wallet in the back pocket. Well, okay, maybe not good, but at least I had the body and butt to make them work and oh yeah, I worked it. Now, we shall return to my stirring tale… Yes, once I ditched the skin tight jeans, my wallet migrated to the front pocket, so it would not tumble out of a baggy rear jean pocket. So there my wallet was in its old stomping grounds and in a drastic attempt to keep myself together, I moved my keys to the other rear pocket. Needless to say, you do not want your keys housed in a rear pocket. All sorts of bad things could happen.
In addition to everything now feeling strangely foreign in their new shorts locations, my butt now looked lumpy. Yep, wallet here, keys there. All sorts of messy lumps. Plus, whenever I used my keys, out of old habit, I would return them to pocket with the mysteriously formed huge hole and I would soon find the keys resting at my feet. Then I would need to bend over in my lumpy butt shorts to retrieve the keys. An utter, total, complete mess.
Now, my shorts are on their final voyage. They have served me well, but when their pocket fail resulted in a lumpy butt, there is no coming back.

Toward the end of filming the current blockbuster “Jurassic World,” all studio computers suffered a fatal system’s failure. This catastrophe forced the final dino battle scenes to be filmed in the Paulsen Family’s unmowed front lawn.

So chilling. So realistic. So chilling. I may not sleep tonight.
CARAMEL TOPPED BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES
“There I was sitting peacefully at my 11-year-old son’s baseball game, when a thought came to mind, ‘A cookie featuring caramel and butterscotch might be tasty.’ This cookie is the end result of that thought. Featuring a luscious caramel sauce drizzled over a quality butterscotch oatmeal cookie, this little bite is both traditional and innovative. Moist and chewy, as well as all good. Enjoy.”
Cookie Ingredients
¾ cup Butter
½ cup Sugar
1 cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1¼ cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Sea Salt
3 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
2 cups Butterscotch Chips
Caramel Topping Ingredients
½ cup Brown Sugar
1½ Tablespoons Butter
½ cup Heavy Cream
½ Tablespoon Vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar.
Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Mix in the flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
Stir in the oats and butterscotch chips.
Drop tablespoon sized balls of dough onto parchment paper lined baking sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
After the cookies have completely cooled, begin preparing the caramel topping.
In a pan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream.
Heat on a stove over medium heat, until the ingredients have melted together (about five minutes), while whisking occasionally.
Once the sauce begins to bubble, add the vanilla extract and continue to whisk rapidly over medium heat for an additional five minutes.
Remove from heat and drizzle caramel sauce over cooled cookies.
Makes about 60 cookies, plus one cup of caramel sauce.

You thought you knew dirty? You thought you knew filth? You’ve yet to experience 8-year-old Sam, plus an inviting mud puddle.
Yep, where in the world are Sam’s socks, indeed. These socks are unrecognizable even to themselves. Even their tennis shoe exteriors could not help them. These are no longer Sam’s socks. These are disgusting. Period. End of sentence.

Waiting for Godot? Waiting on the World to Change? Waiting for Christmas morning? No, waiting for “Blog as Art,” a joint Goodness Coffee House and www.CookiesbyDave.com production.
You’ve waited. You’ve wondered. You’ve waited and you’ve wondered. Not to mention that you’ve probably grown just a tad bit annoyed with these “official” trailers (just a tad bit).
Well, hang in there, because your wait will soon be over.
Coming next week to the Goodness Coffee House, the summer blockbuster event that you’ve been waiting for…
