Best Cookies EVER
I ran Bix 7 this weekend, great 7 mile race in Davenport Iowa that had over 15,000 runners this year. I think the entire town came out to cheer us on. My race was so-so, was on record pace (for me) at mile 6 before getting heart palpitations that left me standing, then walking to the finish line. Likely tied to caffeine excess but am going see a doc next week just in case. Thankfully when I got to Dads for a visit on Sunday he had some warm cookies out ready for me to forget about my last mile.
Dad won't share the secret recipe but I did some reverse engineering and think I've cracked the code:
1 lb Butter
1 lb Sugar
Many Chocolate Chunks
Many White Chocolate Chunks
Another Pound of Butter
More Sugar
More Butter
Some More Butter
We also went to a great place for comfort food:
Had a few Beers on the balcany:
And before long I felt like a CHAMPION again!! Bring on Bix 2008

HA HA HA.... my secret plan worked: you goto BIX, run, then I have dad plump you up like a little porky pig.
OINK OINK.
I have yet to see your post about the marathon dude..... if you don't do this one, lemme know which one is in your sights!
ah the famous cookies. grace actually said they were better than her mother's, and that's a southern baker we're comparing dad too.
the chocolate chunks are definitely one secret trick, sorry pops.
OK, what does Matty Watt MEAN? I don't get it.
Holly claims Dad gave HER his cookie recipe - but she then lost it. Maybe he knows what he's doing with his information release, eh?
It was once believed that G'ma Betty gave people her recipies, but only with key mistakes(!) in them. Not to start any conflicts, but I think it's an independently confirmed story.
Cool race time, im running more and more everyday more walking than running but im trying to do more of a time thing then concentrating on running. walked/ran for 43min today trying to work my way up to an hour a day probably sounds like chump change compared to what your running workout is but i still dominate you in the weights - you need to use your machine, i hope you are trying that a little you'lll see muscle growth fast because you're so skinny.. well hope you are doing well
