More Crap My Mother Sent Me

Hello Fellow Travelers!

Anyone who knows me even slightly knows that I've lived my"pre-tumor" life sugar-free.   I liked snacks that were salty bordering on bitter.  I loathed anything Sweet.  And I had no use for chocolate! Since 2011, everyone knows (and dreads) my newfound appreciation for all things made of brown sugar and vanilla.  My mom, in particular, has sent many "care" packages my way, and by in large these boxes are a veritable cornucopia of items:  everything from cat stories clipped from the newspaper to essays written by my nieces.  And she always sends cookies.  The cookies used to be home-baked but she recently mailed me some weird confections we'll call "Brand X", but I was snarkily referring to them as "Sleazy Bake".  I thought I poked enough fun at the"Sleazy Bake" Ovens delivery to never receive anything quite that funny again!  So I was surprised (and laughing my a__ off!) when a small package arrived last week and among the many items there was a bag of ginger snaps.

These weren't any old ginger snaps!  No sirree!  These snaps were labeled "Mo Del"."Mo Del"?  More like "Mo Hard" or "No Del".  What Dollar Tree/Store did these "Mo Del" snaps come from anyway?  Did she think I wouldn't notice?  Are you kidding?  I live for this crap!  I may never eat anything from the "Mo Del" bakery (I actually tried one cookie thinking maybe "Mo Del" was a secret among grandmas in-the-know.  Those cookies were awful!  Just terrible! No grandmas in-the-know.  Nope!  Just my mom trying to save a few cents!  Haha!) but that doesn't mean I won't complain at length about "Mo's" products!

And just who is this "Mo" anyway?
There's "Moe" on the Simpson's
That's the extent of anybody I know named "Mo"

My mother knows how restless I am and has some idea of how isolated I've become.  So maybe she includes these subpar baked goods to give me something to complain about, trying to amuse me like one of her cats!  It's a good thing I'm easily amused.  I love those Sleazy Bake cookies!

They're not very tasty but they're sure a lot of fun!
