Cashew Oatmeal Cookies
Thanks for going to pick up that saw off of craigslist with the husband. You rock. By the way, I hear you shoot archery, want to go shoot some foam animals sometime? Hope you like the cookies.

Yup that's pretty much the gist of the note I sent along with these cookies. I've never met Matt, and that note to him doesn't sound creepy at all as a first time intro... ok yes, yes it does.
Do you buy stuff off craigslist? We totally have, although sometimes you meet some seriously interesting people... apparently the guy selling the saw was one of them... glad I wasn't there! :) Thanks again Matt!

hahahaha! Your note kills me. "want to go shoot foam animals" yes, yes I do
pb (or cb) and oatmeal!? Yum!
LOL yeah and I seriously wrote that! Hehe, you can come shoot foam animals
next time you are up to visit :) it's wicked fun! Much better than shooting
real animals, that would make me cry. Plus they have all types.. bear, deer,
armadillo, t-rex! LOL You know it would be fun :)
Oh yeah... the craigslist peeps can be an interesting lot sometimes! I had somebody come to my house to pick up a dresser, and the guy literally almost fell in my living room 3 times... He kept forgetting about the step. Not the sharpest tack, it seemed.
You definitely have to be careful about craigslist; I've never gotten anything off of it, but I have sold a few things! Hahah love your note!
I've never tried cashew butter and have always wanted to! These cookies look so tasty..I might have to get going on making some cashew butter so I can try these! :)
I once almost got conned on Craigslist while looking for an apt...someone tried to make me pay them the deposit before even showing me the apartment. Luckily common sense kicked in.
Those cookies look delicious. I love that you used the mild, creamy cashews. I don't like PB but I adore CB!
I like the sound of those cookies!
I totally buy and sell stuff on craigslist all the time. In fact, right now I'm looking for a place to live in San Francisco on craigslist. It's addicting and frustrating!
The cookies look yummy - so thick and chunky just the way I like them! Craigslist scares me.
Yum, those look amazing! I think I'd prefer them with cashew butter anyway. Cashews are my favorite nut I think.
that looks totally yums! :D
Eekk! That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen! LOL
If you like cashews you'll like these for sure! We've sold stuff on
criagslist too, mostly to nice ppl, but with the occasional crazy phone call
that leads to.. ummm yeah it sold already... so you can't come over LOL
I've heard of stuff like that happening before! You can never be too
careful! Glad you didn't fall for it!
Oh my goodness these cookies look sooo good. I love how you used cashew butter! :)
