I don’t watch TV, but if I did, I would have known that all the media could talk about last week was Hurricane Ike. It was apparently such intense and chilling coverage that everyone in my family called me to ask if I was going to evacuate and was I safe?
My family doesn’t realize this, but Texas is a really big place. Austin was nowhere near the site of the hurricane, but this fact did little to assuage my Jewish mother’s worry. Sensing it was her maternal duty to do something, she offered to send me a care package from home so I could “weather the storm indoors.â€
At first I tried to reason with her, but then I came to my senses and realized I was trying to turn down free goodies. When she asked what I wanted, it took only a second to figure out. Colossal Cookies from Bristol Farms!
I had read the review on our sister site Snackerrific, and the reception was so overwhelming that there was no way I could resist these. Unfortunately, there are no Bristol Farms in the city here, but they are conveniently located back home.
By the end of the week, the cookies were in the mail, the storm was gone, and I was one happy camper. But what if you too don’t have a Bristol Farms in your neighborhood? Never fret! This past week included a whole bunch of reviews from which you’re bound to find at least one of the products locally, an awesome banana smoothie recipe you can make at home, and a portrait into Japanese Snack Cartoon Characters. No matter where you live or what the weather is like, there is always something for you to enjoy at Snackerrific. So head on over and check out these articles:
