Million Dollar MoFo Cookies

Hey kids, before we get going on the whole MoFo thingy that I told you about in my last blog let's try a song, shall we.
Swallow some water, warm up those vocal chords. Cough cough. Ahem. Lalalalala. I think you're ready. Before we start the "Vegan Day Song" please remember that Vegan is always pronounced Veeeee-gun* (like the pistol). Not vay-gun like ray gun!

Now in your best lounge singer voice, sing to the tune of Happy Birthday. You may begin.

Happy World Vegan Day to Me. Happy World Vegan Day to you. Happy World Vegan Day dear everybody who doesn't like to eat dead animals on a plate. Happy Vegan Day to yooooooooou.

Well that sucked. Try it one more time, and belt to the bleachers.

Phew. That rocked. What a great way for us to celebrate World Vegan Day and kick off MoFo, (Vegan Month of Food). You were so awesome that you deserve a cookie. And not just any cookie...introducing the Million Dollar Cookie. This is a recipe my mom had copied down in the 70's. Then it was called the $250 cookie. It's definitely worth more now . It was called the $250 cookie because it was the winning cookie in a contest and well that's the amount the cheapo judges gave the winner. Here is the veganized version, which in itself is worth a lot more.
