That may have been the coolest blog title I've ever written. :)
Three summers ago at my grandparent's ranch, I discovered the most awesome ice cream scoop ever: a Holstein cow handle with a stainless steel scoop. My grandma gave it to me, and I took it to college. It became one of my favorite mementos of home and a reminder not to take myself too seriously. (Who could, looking at that cheesy grin?)
This past summer after I found my current apartment, I thought it would be fun to have my own cookie jar. Somehow, "cookie jar" became a "cow cookie jar" to complement my ice cream scoop. And to top the deal, it had to come from the DI (my favorite thrift shop).
For seven months, I occasionally wishfully thought about that hope. And in the meantime, I happened upon a cow ladle rest at Ross's for $2.
Then last night I found it. I happy danced right there in the store. Sure, it's not an official cookie jar, but it will function perfectly as one, and I couldn't imagine a better shape.
I have my perfect ceramic cow cookie container... now to just find some yummy cookies to fill it. :)
