I’m feeling generous today. I’d like to give you cookies and a good laugh at the same time. For those of you who asked in my last post, I posted some old 'emo' photos of myself on the Dessert For Two Facebook fan page. Laugh it up and enjoy while you can, because I will probably take them down in a week. Fortunately, that 20-year old girl who dyed her hair black and made some very questionable wardrobe choices is all grown up now and working hard in the research field. I can’t risk having someone from my profession seeing these photos, so I’m posting them now under the assumption that folks who work in agriculture don’t spend a lot of time on Facebook. But, the day that iPads are installed in tractor cabs probably isn’t too far away.
So, make some nostalgic peanut butter and jelly cookies and consider sharing with me your worst awkward phase photos. Please? If you do, I might share with you something even more hilarious: we found old video clips of me dancing to indie rock songs (hello, Goldfrapp and Metric. P.S. I still love you, Emily Haines). I used to send these video clips to my honey when he was in Iraq, and he absolutely loves them. His opinion is unbelievably biased because even a monkey would laugh at these clips: my skinny knees moving wildly in opposite directions thus defying the physiological limitations of such joints and some serious hip shaking that makes an onlooker cringe in fear that a muscle pull is imminent. The best part? These videos were filmed completely sober.

I love the addition of peanut butter to these thumbprint cookies since my daughter loves PB&J. Are these cookies really buttery, since I make a version of these which has much less butter but still taste pretty buttery. My recipe is at http://omnivore-almostveg.blogspot.com/2011/11/thumbprint-cookies.html

Oh now I'm dying to see the video! See the best part of being an adult is that we can all look back at our "awkward phase" and laugh, because trust me, we've all been there.
Joanne says
Oh man, you were adorable! I mean, you still ARE adorable. But even then, emo and all.
I need to dig up some of my old photos for you. I thought I had some on facebook, but apparently not. Next time I go back to my parents house...I promise. :P
Love this PB+J comfort cookie!

Enjoyed your musings on the awkward phase, Christina! What's really bad is when your kids ask if they can borrow some of those funky outfits for "oldies day" at school... my Mom kept some of the "better" ones, heaven help us all. Lol.

Aw, those photos take me back to my awkward days of bright red hair dye. But the cookies look fabulous!
