We (and by we, I mean I and I have my doubts about one or both of my siblings) would go hard the first week - warm up the first two days with an illicit teaspoon while getting the milk out and a bit extra on top, to stuffing your mouth full to asphyxiation level days 3 through 6. On the seventh day, sudden realisation would hit like a sharp comment from Dad (sometimes even initiated by a sharp comment from Dad) that there was less than half a container of milo (no matter what size) and it was beginning to be noticeable. A fairly even rate of usage would resume days 8 - 10, and that last half-teaspoon of the chocolatey-goodness - the red can with added malt was the goods.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585589281123688.post-53005676808682403842014-02-21T11:49:41.012-08:002014-02-21T11:49:41.012-08:00I used to eat the cookie dough too.

We weren't bold or hip enough to go for raw cookie dough. Now, it doesn't stand a chance of making it into the oven in my care.<br /><br />Damn the block that happens when we can see the finish line. I'm there too - close to the end of my first draft, and pushing through writer's block. Power on.

I pulled apart about a dozen of those babies and licked the icing completely off. Then I put the little yellow and brown bookends back together and slipped them back into the package. Sly, right?<br /><br />Well, come dinnertime, I skip into the kitchen to find 12 dry yellow and brown cookies with no icing arranged in a circle on my plate. "That's your dinner, you little thief," she said. Oh, and I got one glass of milk to force them down. Suffice to say, I hate those friggin' cookies to this day.Tanya Andersonhttp://www.tanyaandersonbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585589281123688.post-46654443869170183462014-01-30T09:03:02.985-08:002014-01-30T09:03:02.985-08:00Loved the pics and the photoshop of the candy and ...Loved the pics and the photoshop of the candy and cookies on it.
