Unruly Airline Passenger Blames Marijuana Cookies
PITTSBURGH — A San Francisco man claims he was high on a double dose of medical marijuana cookies when he screamed, dropped his pants and attacked crew members on a cross-country flight, forcing its diversion to Pittsburgh, the FBI said Wednesday.
Thanks to my PETA newsletter, I found out that vegan sweets maker Lucy’s is holding a contest!! ENTER AND SEND ME YOUR WINNINGS: http://www.peta2.com/OUTTHERE/o-winLucysCookies.asp
Thanks to Anj, I got my Christmas present: a trip to the Veggie Grill in El Segundo! This place is SO GOOD. It’s the only vegetarian eatery that heavy meat eaters say is good and they are so right!! Veg*n burgers and sandwiches and veg*n desserts. Ooooo, speaking of which….
I got a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge cookie. Perfect to split in 3! This was made with whole wheat and oat flour, which gave the cookie a nutty texture in addition to the already nutty walnuts in this chocolate chip cookie. Hands down one of the best vegan cookies I’ve ever ever eaten. Great taste, not too crunchy or soft, and the lack of enough chocolate chips is overshadowed by the walnuts.

Also great were the slaw and carrot cake. I would suggest passing on the mac n cheese.. that just tasted weird.
Taste: 9
Crust and center moistness: Great texture, not dry at all but not soft either
Value: err.. i forget. sorry!
Overall: I love this restaurant, and I love this cookie. I’m going to rate this a very high 9, as I still haven’t found a cookie that beats Michelle’s Naturally Vegan cookies.
Boss: “Hey Chloe, come in here, I got some stuff but I don’t think you’d be interested in any of it.”
Me: [runs (literally) to his office] GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP!!!
Guess. What. My Boss. Got. A HUUUGEE tin of sweets!! Brownies, brownies, brownies, mini cupcakes, fudge, and COOKIES. He said he’d only let me have one thing a day (aww, he cares about my pancreas!) — so I snatched up the cookies real fast
Actually, there were two types of cookies: chocolate chip and this other one with frosting and sprinkles. I’m not a huge fan of frosting, so I took the chocolate chip one, with hopes that I’d be able to get the other one later (alas, that one was taken):
Good sized cookie, at a… not so great taste? I mean, it didn’t taste horrible, but it was definitely not as yummy as I was expecting. Taste was meh, not enough chocolate chips, texture was hard (not crunchy though, just hard) on the outside and soft on the inside though. There were two cookies in the bag, but I didn’t see the calorie intake worth a second one.

Taste: 6
Crust and center moistness: hard outside, soft inside
Value: $1 a cookie, not bad
Overall: Hard to complain about free cookies as a gift… so I won’t. But I heard their brownies were really good; get those instead.
I eat both the chocolate and soy milk flavours, they’re both good to me. Chocolate is really more of a light milky cocoa taste, while soy milk is sort of like a non-buttery shortbread. I only eat 1 a day since I’m still unsure how I feel about the estrogen mimicking active ingredient of the cookies. I’ve gone through about 2.5 boxes now and while I don’t have a cup size increase, I do have an increase in fullness. Not a complaint for me since I did eat them hoping to regain fullness and not a cup increase. I’m already a DD, but my boobs “deflated” after losing weight, and I just wanted to get them looking normal again. Interesting observation is with the increased fullness, I find my breasts look more defined and round in shape, which I didn’t have before the weight loss.
J is in North America and reported these FABULOUS results! Congratulations J, we are happy for you and hope you continue to achieve the look and feel you desire!
Good Stuff in Hermosa Beach (1286 The Strand, Hermosa Beach, CA90254) definitely has some good stuff. Great, even. I got the yogurt with fruit and granola and for $7 I think I actually got my money’s worth for being out in Hermosa. But to the important part!!:
I ordered two cookies to finish off my brunch and again, oh. my. gosh. they serve it to you WARM, and it is DELICIOUS. So tasty, so chocolatey, so smooth… everything in a great cookie. Did I mention they serve it to you warm?! If your idea of a great cookie eating experience is being served your cookies on a plate with dessert spoons, licking your fingers and wanting more, this is a great cookie eating experience.
Taste: 10
Crust and center moistness: medium
Value: $1.40 for these two cookies. At $0.70 each for a large, warm, great tasting cookie, it is way too hard to complain.
I'm here to do the dirty stuff. I'll take the guesswork out of choosing which cookies are the best, the worst, and the in betweens. I've been eating cookies ever since I had teef so you can definitely trust me.
