OREO PUDDING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp

Add the flour mixture to the batter and stir until it is almost fully mixed in. Add oatmeal and continue stirring until flour disappears. Stir in chocolate chips.

So effing true. Did this with Vampire Diaries, How I Met Your Mother…and more shows than I care to mention. I have no life…

“Sherlocked”
Sherlock [Series 2] (2012)
INDEPENDENCE, OH- Joe Haden showed Independence High School prom-goers he knows more than just how to intercept passes and lay out receivers as a starting cornerback for the Cleveland Browns.
He showed them he also knows how to Dougie.
Mostly, he showed them he had a big and caring heart, as Haden celebrated prom with Joyce Grendel — an Independence senior who invited Haden via Twitter after her original date backed out.
Haden accepted, spent Friday afternoon readying for his big night, then picked up Grendel at her home in his white Lambroghini. Grendel’s friend, Lacey Mencl, and her date, Dave Kowalski, accompanied them.
“I had the time of my life,” Grendel said. “Everything worked out perfectly and even better than I had imagined. Joe was such a gentleman and so nice.”
That’s a class act right there…
Dear Glee,
I’m not sure what happened, but our relationship has soured.
Maybe it was all those new characters you introduced that I could not give 2 craps about. Lucky Charms? Rich Annoying Bimbo? Teen Jesus? Are these really the heirs to the throne of Puck, Finn, Rachel and the Fabulous Santana? False idols, all!
Nene as a swim coach against the vibrant wit of the incomparable Sue Sylvester? Why are you wasting my time with this. And don’t even get me started on this post-menopausal pregnancy ish.
And was that Saturday Night Fever tribute episode really necessary? I got behind a few weeks and JUST NOW watched that episode. All I could think about was John Travolta slowly spreading his butt cheeks in a massage parlor to the tune of “More Than a Woman.” It is BURNED INTO MY PSYCHE, Glee! I feel simultaneously nauseated and inclined to commit mass murder while strutting to “Stayin’ Alive.” THE FEELINGS.
But we have history, Glee. When I hear the opening chords of “Don’t Stop Believing” for the 5011th time in a week, I get all nostalgic for your pilot episode and that smooth a cappella cover. Who could have resisted? We made it through tough times (the rape of “Rocky Horror” springs to mind), but we had a long run. 67 episodes! That’s over halfway to syndication! You are going to have other fans. Younger and dumber fans, but you are going to be ok.
So, like that last vacation between Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, I’ll stick it out for the season finale. Mostly out of morbid curiosity to see which one of my favorite songs you are going to murder this week. And it’s for the best; you’re moving to Thursday nights next season and that is Parks and Rec night. Amy Poehler drops deuces like you in the pot every morning.
Love,
Heather
P.S. Blaine and Kurt 4EVAH!
