2004 Family Circle Cook-Off The current and (possibly) future First Ladies of the U.S. each submitted their cookie recipe. They'd make great snack foods for tomorrow nights' many election-watching parties.

I choose to deliberately ignore the supposed predicitve value of these recipes and plan to enjoy making both sometime after Tuesday. When it comes to cookies, I'm a uniter, not a divider.

  • oh great, el_hombre, just stomp all over my byline why don't ya? heh.
  • SideDish: Or was it a shameless plug I made for you? ;)
  • any publicity is good publicity! and, i might add, the PACKERS WON!!!
  • The Dow index correlation also points to Kerry, and probably makes more sense than cookies or even the venerable "Weekly Reader". After some googling... Hey!?! What gives, I didn't even know this was an urban legend, and now it's debunked?!?!? Oh well, I was never invited to one anyway, and now I'm a bit too old for slumber parties, clothed or otherwise.
  • Bush's Desert Dessert Makes: about 1,000 U.S. Casualities. Bake: at 100° for 3 to 4 Tours of Duty 1,500 Bunker Busters
    1 Ignorant President
    140,000 U.S. Troops
    3 refusals to acknowledge U.N. advice
    1 broken coalition of the "willing"
    3 countries with active combat operations
    1 stop loss order
    1 giant case of "WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE WMDs?"
    1 (still) missing Osama
    Hundreds of assasinated Iraqi "government" officials, soldiers, and police
    1 giant prison scandal
    87 billion dollars 1. Rush in to the country without a coherent plan, and not enough soldiers or proper equipment.
    2. Declare "Mission Accomplished" when that is the farthest thing from the truth.
    3. Search for WMDs that don't exist, then blame the "actual" cause of war on the connection between Hussein and Osama, while your coalition slips out the back door
    4. Kill thousands of innocent civilians, thereby cementing hatred against the U.S., and providing religious zealot clerics with terrorist recruits.
    5. Stir in a prison scandal, and zones where even our own military won't go.
    6. Tell American people everything is fine.
    7. Pray everything will be ok.
  • DOLLY! JEFFY! Who burnt these cookies? "not me"........."ida know" Oh, Family *CIRCLE* uh, nevermind.
  • I glanced and read, "Family Circle Jerk-Off," which I somehow envisioned that Billy kid from the comic strip jerking off everyone in sight.
  • horse... funny that you say that.. I got confused with Famliy Circus as well. Must be subliminal messages in those evil little cartoons.
  • Did anyone else notice that Laura Bush's recipe makes 8 dozen?! Thats an insane number of cookies.
  • I'll take 96 cookies.
  • humandictionary - actually, 8 dozen is about right. COOOKIEES! I've been trying to see the recipes all day, but keep getting "file not found." How will I know whom to vote for tomorrow?
  • Pumpkin spice cookies sound tasty. I might actually try them. But yeah, why are these recipes so huge? Mrs Kerry's makes 60.
  • Laura Bush's cookies suck and only morons eat them.
  • hum... looks like someone doesn't know that it's better to mix your wet and dry ingredients separately.
  • I've made two batches of what is basically the same recipe for those pumpkin cookies in the last two weeks. They're great. (There are so many cookies because they're kinda small.)
  • yeah, instead of 60 cookies you could just make two REALLY BIG ones.
  • Oh, bernockle. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who read it like that. Every blasted time I look at the front page, in fact. I think it's because of the contextual one-two punch of seeing "circle ???k" and "???k-off" in the same place. I'll be so glad when this one's in the archive. gotta lay off the porn I guess....
