The Joy of Discovery
Many years ago, in 1994-1995, I had a cookie that I really, really enjoyed, namely the Keebler Toffee Sandy. It was the same shortbread cookie as found in the Pecan Sandy, but with bits of toffee in it instead of pecan. Well, sometime in late 1995-early 1996 Keebler discontinued this cookie. I was heartbroken. How could a thing so wonderful come into my life and then vanish?
Well, the other day pauldrye mentioned to me that he remembered either Sobey's or Loblaws having a cookie very similar to the one I'd described. I searched Loblaws, but no luck. This afternoon, while going to buy a DVD and some wine, I stopped into Sobey's on a whim. And to my amazement, there on the shelf was a box of cookies. It was a different company than Keebler--the brand was Compliments--and the package was different, but there was no mistaking the cookie within. I had found my long-lost cookie, and was filled with joy and rapture. My cookie is back.
