It’s my roommate’s birthday today! Happy Birthday Ashley! Since our birthday’s are so close together, we have been doing a lot of celebrating around here. We threw a barnyard birthday bash last weekend and Ashley was “best in show” for her immaculate sheep costume. She made it herself!!
Ashley could argue with you very passionately that double-stuffed Oreos are the only way to go and a single-stuffed Oreo isn’t even worth eating. So, for her birthday, I made a bowl of Oreo filling to stuff a cookie with as much as she can fit between cookies! When it’s your birthday, you should have as much “stuffing” as you want!
I bought tubs of cookies from Trader Joe’s so she can make her own cookies all day long at work. She and her coworkers have gotten creative with double-decker quadruple-stuffed combinations!
