There’s no Scotch in this recipe. Needs a good Speyside or Islay. Your quantities may vary....

I knew something was missing! At the very least it could have been used to drink while assembling the ingredients.

Truly hilarious, Steve. I laughed hard because I so saw myself so many times. So many parts I loved, but for some reason, the hitting the timer, forgetting to hit "start" and burning the cookies, countered with the compensating the next time with writing a note (I'd have written it on my calendar!) to remind me to start it, coupled with the neuroses of staring at it to ding even after I DO start it! OCD? OMG!

I love your understated delivery. In less skilled hands, your emotional wrenchings would be far less impactful, and would knock the mirrors out of our hands. I think we've both, Boobie, not seen the same therapist! A couple of these:👏👏👏👏

So many people would say the added ingredient is love, when we all know it's stress and ruminations. 😂

Exactly! Salty tears are the hidden ingredient in the most delicious of holiday desserts.
