GASTRONORMOUS

This is a chai snickerdoodle. Yes, that is what I said. A chai snickerdoodle. Now if that doesn’t sound like a crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside, perfectly round piece of sugar-and-spice-coated heaven, I really don’t know what does. And, might I add, a stroke of seasoning genius!

Sinfully Sweet Treats is a cookie company based in Colorado (and, in full disclosure, owned by The Hubs’ very lovely cousin and her dashing husband) that offers ten signature cookie flavors, from Double Dark Chocolate Espresso to Key Lime Cheesecake Sublime. While I have not yet had the pleasure of partaking of the treats, I have heard very reliable first-hand accounts of their outrageous deliciousness.

Order by 3pm today (Mountain Time) and you could be cookie nirvana by the weekend! They ship anywhere in the U.S. Enjoy! [$20/dozen]

Robots are either a little but scary or unbearbly adorable (and no, I do not suffer from WALL-E fever!), and this little guy definitely falls in the latter category. He might not cook your food for you, but he can tell you when to take it out of the oven, which is helpful indeed.

I might just pick one up on the way home as we are in need of a timer (We do have one. It is from IKEA—a sleek digital number that sticks to the fridge. Problem is that after a couple weeks of owning it, half the digital readout stopped working so you sort of have to take a leap of faith that you are going to be told when to take the soufflé out of the oven. And one doesn’t need one’s souffles to be even more stressful than they need to be, does one?) [$25]
