Close to Home by John McPherson for December 19, 2020

Not this year ;-\

I never wanted to eat raw cookie dough. I waited till they were baked. Then started scarfing them down.

Really tone deaf for ERs full of covid patients.

Stay there Bleeb, or you’ll get barfed on.

If that was our only crisis!!!

There should be a three-week ban to flatten the cookie…………. curve and not overload the emergency rooms.

But raw cookie dough cures COVID.

I don’t like raw cookie dough. My family thinks I’m weird.

I would rather eat raw cookie than cooked cookies. Actually I can’t think of a raw dough I don’t like.

I never got into the cookie dough thing. Now the icing bowl is a totally different story!

My wife has a cookie recipe that calls for the dough to be rolled into a tube and frozen. It never makes it to the oven. We always eat it right out of the freezer. She tried baking them once and the cookies were rather bland…

They should all just go out together and get baked.

It isn’t healthy to consume large amounts of the stuff.

Weird, I always liked pie dough.

Is ipecac still a thing. I have always heard of someone having their stomach pumped but I really don’t know what it means.

This too will pass…

“Ah, cookie dough… the Sushi of pastry snacks. So, what do you think of cookies, there Bleeb?

“ꀤ ꈤꂦ꓄ ꀘꈤꂦꅐ ꂦꎇ ꏳꂦꂦꀘꀤꏂ”

“Well, they’re a baked good made from a dough. The dough is made up of flour, milk, butter, and a variety of… heck, we should just stick around this Emergency Room for a bit, because you’re about to see a whoooole lot of it!”

“Oh, and I’d stay under that chair if I was you, this is about to be a splash zone!”

Yes, but will they LEARN……

It was really great. And then like all great things, someone discovered it was bad for you. Some people just can’t leave things alone.

Is it really necessary to go to the ER for this? Someone enlighten me please. People make unnecessary ER trips

I like raw turnip roots. They’re like big radishes, but milder. It’s probably the same thing.

You can’t eat cookie dough all at once. One piece at a time (don’t ask me how I know ;p)

Look out Bleeb!!!!!!!!!! They’re gonna toss their cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

This must be an old rerun from pre-Covid days.

As a kid I’d make sugar cookies with my grandmother. I’d always eat the dough and always got sick. It wasn’t until I was older I understood why I felt ill.

I often volunteered to mix the cookie dough, my wife figured out what was happening and no longer allows me to help her make cookies. So now I have to sneak my doughl.

Not me. And I eat a lot.
