I tried to make cookies.
How’d it go?
Oh, not good.
Aww. Were they too bad to eat?
I mean, as cookies, yeah…
As cookies?
As spaghetti, they were ok.
Well, sure. You try them with ragout or bolognese?
Ick, no. Hot butter and cheese.
Oh, see, there’s your problem. Cookie mistakes need a little umami to balance.
I said they were good.
Yeah, as spaghetti. A little tomato, you’d be back over in cookieville lickety split.
