None of that stinkin' root beer

Actually, I love root beer, which is probably why I laugh so hard at that "stinkin' root beer" line from Slapshot.

I drank an ocean of it as a kid. If you'd've blindfolded me, I still could have told you if I was drinking A&W, Hires, Fanta, Mug...or even Sioux City sarsaparilla or that Pennsylvania Dutch birch beer that came in yellow cans with hex symbols. (That was probably a regional brand.)

When I was eight, we moved to a house with a big sassafras tree in the yard. I was ready to brew our own root beer, but my parents quickly vetoed that idea. Instead I'd sit outside pulling leaves off the tree, then running my fingernail down the leaf stem and inhaling deeply. It smells just like root beer.

It wasn't just the soft drink, I love the flavor. Anytime I found root beer candy...the penny sticks, root beer barrels, even Bottlecaps...I'd buy as much as my mother would permit. Root beer popsicles were a gift from the gods.

So imagine my delight when I saw this in the Post Food section this week:

Root Beer Cookies

I haven't got time for the cookies. I haven't the need for the cookies.

But they taste like root beer, so I must make these cookies.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I'll certainly be back.
