Spock was famous for his Vulcan mind meld.
My family had one today via Twitter.
It began when my nephew tweeted his slightly unorthodox breakfast choice — chocolate oatmeal cookies.
I replied that his aunt would be proud — not me, my sister Lou. She has made and eaten many batches of the slightly ugly cookie…even when they didn’t really turn out.
I mean, look at them — does it really matter?
My nephew ‘favorited’ my tweet, and I shared the conversation with my sister via Skype chat (knowing she doesn’t check Twitter as often as I do). Now she is inspired to make some of the chocolate morsels for the first time in years!
Don’t you just love social media??
The Sticky Egg 
I’m there! What’s the recipe?
Lou’s Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extra
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups oatmeal
Combine butter, milk, sugar and cocoa over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep from sticking. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes. Add peanut butter, vanilla, salt and oatmeal. After blended, spoon immediately onto wax paper.
Let me know how they turn out (or if they do!).
