Berger's

Last Saturday morning I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking my coffee and listening to NPR just like every good Saturday morning. Then I remembered that I had brought home Berger cookies from Baltimore! As I opened the package the lady that was being interviewed on NPR started talking about how one of her favorite things about Baltimore (the interview was about everything along the I-95 corridor) was Berger cookies!!! Errie coincidence? It just reinforced what a great purchase I made!
What are Berger cookies? They are shortbread with a thick heaping of chocolate on top!! So good!!

There is kind of a funny story behind the purchase of them though - it involves Irene, Baltimore City, a parking cop and Luckies, my favorite old corner shop right by where we used to live. Needless to say I ran out of the store to keep from getting a ticket while Irene stayed inside and bought my cookies and a new toothbrush for me. Then I realized I didn't have enough to pay her back....I'm lucky to have such good friends who forgive so easily and understand that these are the things that happen when you are with me.
