The Graft-iest Time of The Year
I could be wrong, but there seemed to be a few more cookie baskets and holiday doodads sent out this year. You probably can't read too much into that (in other words, no grand conclusion that more cookie baskets = a recovering economy!), but companies do seem to be spending a few more bucks on the holidays.
Particularly in the cookie-and-other-fattening-treats department. I've been sent several different boxes so far. And I've eaten way too many of them. How can you not? These are the soft, chewy greasy cookies that leave a permanent see-through stain after sitting on a sheet of paper for five minutes. (It's probably doing the same thing to my stomach right now.)
It's a good time to be a local cookie purveyor. Driving down Saturday on Victory at the edge of Glendale, we sped past the offices of Snookie's Cookies --possibly the best known (and greasiest) of the L.A. corporate cookies. Given what I assume must be a crippling number of holiday orders, Snookie's has erected a large tent next to its building to organize all of its cookie baskets. The baskets themselves appeared to be piled sky-high and were spilling out of the tent.
Meanwhile, I'm currently devouring a "Chocolate Decadence" cookie from DeLuscious Cookies, which delivers treats from a location on Highland Ave. Somebody stop the insanity!
