Cookie Monster Hunted By German Police: Alleged Golden Cookie Theft

source:  Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung

From Denny:  Cookie Monster is in trouble - again!  His alleged cookie addiction could cost him some time behind bars if he doesn't get a lenient judge who can sympathize with his plight. Of course, an extortion letter to a German newspaper may not prove to be helpful.  German police are investigating.

You see, Cookie Monster has now made Bahlsen, a popular German cookie maker in Hanover, Germany, world famous with his alleged theft of their trademark iconic giant golden cookie sign, a gilded bronze sculpture.  It's been reported in America and across The Pond in the UK and Europe.

Cookie Monster allegedly claimed responsibility for the sneaky theft.  His demand letter?  CM allegedly wants Bahlsen to deliver free cookies to children's hospitals.  If they agree to do this good deed, CM is willing to return their giant golden cookie sign unharmed.  That sounds reasonable.

The ransom letter to Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung (HAZ) newspaper translated into English:  "I have the cookie!  And you want it."  The letter was a clever compilation of letters from magazine and newspaper cuttings.  OK, it was a standard issue extortion letter.  Cookie Monster was in a hurry and was running to meet the mail carrier before he missed the mail pick-up for the day.

CM is allegedly quite specific as to the variety of cookies to be delivered to the children's hospitals.  He wants Bahlsen's Leibniz biscuits, preferably the whole milk variety.


Of course, the German authorities are trying to run down this cookie theft and whether it really was Cookie Monster.  You see, CM is claiming on Twitter he is not the true culprit.  Gasp!  Maybe CM was photo shopped?  Can it be true he is the victim of a vicious cookie scam?

The next day another letter was received at Bahlsen with the same demands.  Their legal department did not know if the letter was genuine.  The understandably anonymous spokeswoman commented, "If I could answer that question, I'd be smarter than the police [who are investigating authenticity].  The whole things is not a marketing campaign, our company, no way."

Police say witnesses saw two men with a ladder in the vicinity of the cookie sign earlier this month.  Could they have been hired by CM?  So far, CM isn't saying nor have the police found the alleged sign thieves.  Bahlsen is offering 1,000 Euros for information leading to the recovery of their iconic cookie sign.  The reward will be donated to the animal shelter Krähenwinkel in Langenhagen.

By the way, the cookie company has also pledged to give 52,000 packs of Leibniz biscuits to 52 social institutions - if the cookie sign is returned unharmed.

Check back with this blog often.  We will keep you apprised of this fluid situation as it develops.

One Day

One day I am going to be too lazy to breathe and just die.

I never really know someone until I talk to them at 3 am.

I'm going to spend Valentine's Day with my true love... Food.

Your eyebrows nowadays look like Nike signs.

Nothing feels better than waking up in the middle of the night and realizing you still have hours to sleep.

Romancing The Chocolate: Prize Winner: Peppermint-Hot Chocolate Cake, Fudge Filling, Marshmallow Frosting

Romancing The Chocolate: Prize Winner: Peppermint-Hot Chocolate Cake, Fudge Filling, Marshmallow Frosting: From Denny:  Love hot chocolate?  Thought of making it into a cake?  Britainy Shaw, 25, of Louisiana (before that she lived in Texas and before that in Montana) decided it was a brilliant idea.  She heard of Southern Living magazine's contest and decided to enter just for fun, taking third for this cake recipe.

She said her thoughts immediately went to her favorite Christmas flavors.  “For some reason, all I could think of were drinks.  I love hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps in it.”

Her cake consists of three layers of buttermilk chocolate cake that is filled with a fudge-mint filling, frosted with peppermint-tinged marshmallow crème frosting.

Romancing The Chocolate: Holiday Cookie: Double-Shot Mocha

Romancing The Chocolate: Holiday Cookie: Double-Shot Mocha: From Denny:  OK, never write a cookie post right before lunch.  It all looks so good you want to rush into the kitchen and start baking! :)  This cookie recipe is basically a dense brownie with pools of melting chocolate oozing out when you break them open straight out of the hot oven!
  
There are two cups of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks in this awesome recipe, certainly more than I'm used to baking.  It's no wonder you can get your chocolate fix in one small cookie all at once.

If you have the discipline to wait until the cookie cools all those chocolate pools solidify into huge nuggets of gooey goodness.  No one ever said these little chocolate gems would last long in your house - or mine!

Enjoy the profound Peace of the Christmas season!

Romancing The Chocolate: Christmas Gift Recipe: Peanut Butter Fudge

Romancing The Chocolate: Christmas Gift Recipe: Peanut Butter Fudge: From Denny:  This is an easy unique way to cook fudge - in a slow cooker!  What fun, a super simple fast recipe!  It has our name all over it and think how you can make up many batches of this to give as hostess gifts at Christmas parties or other seasonal gift giving.

It's also a kid friendly recipe it's so easy to do.  You cook the fudge on High in the slow cooker for about 20 minutes total and then pour it out into a pan lined with waxed paper.  Place in fridge to cool and harden.

Hurricane Vampire Survivor Mousepad

The Social Poets: Hurricane Adventure: Cooking by Candlelight on the Bayou: From Denny:  Have you ever noticed that when you go off the grid your mind turns to comedy?  OK, during a hurricane the mind often slides on down toward dark humor.

After all, your brain is geared up to engage with technology and suddenly finds itself in total withdrawal.  And, it's a good thing that humor was created.  It's the best weapon in the human arsenal for survival.

I went off the grid for three days - and hot sweaty nights - during the very long week of Hurricane Isaac...

Scotland Govt Shut Down Child Food Critic of School Lunches But She Rebounds Anew

From Denny:  A couple of months ago this happened:  Can you believe this crazy stunt?  A precocious nine-year-old, Martha Payne, decides she is fed up with the poor standard of school lunches so she starts photographing them.  Then she put them up on her blog, Never Seconds.

She is quite the observant food critic too.  She spots ugly things like hair in her food.  Oddly enough, she actually liked this garbage on a plate in this photo.  Kids do love mac 'n' cheese and jello, and, to her, these were infrequent treats.

On Martha's blog school kids from other countries sent her photos of their school lunches.  They certainly don't look as bare as this plate.  Apparently, Scottish kids actually like - and will eat radishes - not so here in America.  Radishes are great for your sinuses and good for staving off colds.  Since she lives in a cold climate it's good she enjoys them.

This plucky little girl hails from a Scottish coastal town called Lochgilphead which is about 130 miles west of  Edinburgh.  She caused quite a stir in her area by revealing the awful food truth.

This is the photo that caused her blog to go viral and the public was some kind of outraged.  You should read some of the 147 comments below her posts.  That's when the school was so terribly embarrassed that the Scottish Council stepped in to shut down her picture taking.  Yeah, there's nothing like the truth and free speech getting as gagged as the school kids who have to eat this boring mess.




The Scottish Council might have shut down her picture taking of local school food offerings but it sure didn't succeed in shutting down her blogging.  School kids from all over the world send in photos of what they are being served.  

Martha Payne has learned to morph to the next level as a blogger and embrace what's going on in the world outside her school walls.  Precocious kids:  you can't keep them in the box!  :)

The Social Poets: GOP Plans To Axe Food Stamps For Over 150 Million Americans

The Social Poets: GOP Plans To Axe Food Stamps For Over 150 Million Americans: From Denny:  Over 46 million households in America depend upon the food stamp benefits program to put enough food on the table to feed their families.

If each household is a family of four then you are looking at maybe as many as 184 million Americans.  That is over half to two-thirds of America in need of help to eat each day.  No one said it meant three meals a day either.

It does not seem to matter to the GOP and Congress that these same Americans have contributed as taxpayers to support these programs.  Now, the unthinkable for the majority of them is to draw food stamps benefits.  They have no choice; the economy is that bad.

Many active duty military to retirees use $100 million in food stamps benefits.  Are the Republicans just out of control crazy to do this to them and the rest of America?  What is wrong with these people?

Romancing The Chocolate: National Chocolate Cake Day Today! 2 Recipes

Image via Wikipedia

Romancing The Chocolate: National Chocolate Cake Day Today! 2 Recipes: From Denny: Like anyone had to inform the chocolate hounds that today is a special day. We all know we sure don't pay much attention to any other holiday - excepting Valentine's Day - 'cause only chocolate holidays rule. :)

What are the goals of National Chocolate Cake Day? The Obvious: bake and decorate a wonderful chocolate cake and then enjoy it with a few friends! Now that's what I call a plum assignment.

First off, everyone should have at least one basic good Simple Chocolate Sheet Cake in their bag of magic baking tricks. This will make you a big hit at family or sports gatherings - read that at tailgating too.

People can cut the small or large size they desire. Of course, the cake can end up looking like a bit of a messy disaster that way so usually most cooks choose to pre-cut the pieces. I usually cut mine into long fingers like 1-inch x 3-inches. The dieters (and the diabetics who are supposed to behave but can't) can slice that in half - and the Hungry Jacks can take two. Everyone is happy!

Then try the Mexican Chocolate Fudge Pecan Cake where cinnamon is added to a basic chocolate and buttermilk cake. Chocolate and cinnamon are natural pairings and the result is wonderful.

Simple pies like this are also perfect for tailgating to those special sports events.

All you need for this simple dessert is part of a can of sweetened condensed milk, 3 squares of semi-sweet chocolate, a prepared chocolate cookie crumb pie crust, a chocolate instant pudding mix, some two percent milk, 1/2 cup chopped nuts and a small tub of frozen whipped topping of your choice.
