Ftrain, by Paul Ford

A black and white cookie represents the duality of self; the yin and yang of goo. It's essentially a flattened cupcake pretending to cookiehood. Why does a cookie seem less sinful than a cupcake? The number of calories (∞) is the same in each. Also, I wanted one.

But then tonight would have been shot--a few hundred calories, and I'd like some wine--watered down, maybe, with seltzer, but still, wine.

Wikipedia of course has a list of cookies. For as long as our culture moves forward people will be adding cookies to the list.

A paprenjack is a Croatian biscuit.
