Hello Fellow Travelers!
Nyackers Ginger Cookies - The Best in the World!
And they came to me in this lovely tin and I scarfed them in record time! (Thank you, Mary O'!) What makes these "cookies" so special? Their amazing balance! They're perfectly seasoned. Just the right amount of ginger, barely sweet and light as air. The tin opens up with an amazing aroma that evokes all that's magical about winter: clove, pine, brown sugar and cinnamon, and the wonderful aroma stays in the tin long after the last cookie has been consumed, and the cookies themselves are lethal, like potato chips or Oreos - you can't eat just one. No, they are not as dizzyingly beautiful as the fantastic macaroons from SoCal, but no less perfect. I used to know the best restaurants (The French Laundry) the best wine (1986 Grand Echezaux) and the best mai tai (main lounge at the Drake, ask for Steve) in San Francisco.
Those are things I knew a lifetime ago and then they seemed worth knowing.
My information may be outdated but I like what I like. That never changes.
My interests and preferences have not just dramatically changed but have become sharper and more specific with the passage of time. I live like a monk because anything that contributes to good health I embrace wholeheartedly (go big or go home!) and a conversely I completely reject anything that doesn't enhance my longevity. I have to! I have a huge responsibility to get better. To be better! I need quality baked goods to be the best I can be every day!
Now, I've beaten brain cancer so I've ferreted out the best cookies! No one should ever feel bad anyway, but these cookies will truly make you happy when you eat them. A good cookie makes you happy you ate it. A great cookie makes you glad to be alive! That's why they're important. No one should get cancer everyone however, deserves a delicious baked item!
