When Nabisco redesigned their circus box to eliminate the cages, I figured I should buy one last box.

I wasnt a big fan of animal crackers as a child, and thought they might be worse now. Terrible!

Likewise, it had been many years since my last gingersnap.

Bought a sack a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised. Ive bought a few since.

If cookies-n-beef skeeve you out, how about cookies-n-cabbage?

Gingersnaps are an essential ingredient in my favorite deli-style sweet-n-sour cabbage soup.

Not exactly soup weather now, but Ill try to remember in a few months.
