There are days when you don’t have time to breath, like literally. Yesterday was one such day for me. I got up in the morning and then I didn’t even sit for a second till midnight. On such days, I feel like there should be more than 24 hours in a day. I think I told you guys before that we are planning to buy our own house and seriously that’s just draining all my energy. Weekends are totally gone in house hunting and sometimes I have to go on weekdays too like yesterday.
Talking about the cookie butter, have you guys tried it? Oh my god you guys, if you haven’t you really don’t know what you have been missing out in life! So we discovered Biscoff cookies in one of our flights from Seattle to San Francisco. It was a morning flight and we were starving and then they served us these airline cookies, yes that’s what they are popularly known as. One bite into the cookies and we were hooked.
Once we got home, we went grocery shopping and got some biscoff cookies and while at it, we also spotted the biscoff cookie spread. It sounded too good to resist and so I grabbed few bottles of it. And since then I have been badly addicted to the stuff. I swear, I would eat half jar at a time with a spoon if not for the calories! It’s so good and hubs eats biscoff cookies everyday with coffee. Yes he’s badly addicted to it too.
