My morning routine is to walk Frisket about four blocks to a local coffee, pastry, and sandwich shop. I typically pick up a coffee for Lisa, and something for me. For better or worse, I usually grab an oatmeal and raisin cookie or two. I buy the "it cuts down on cholesterol" line. Anyway...this morning's batch of cookies had the ever so faint yet present taste of....pepper.

Ugh.

Now I have this faint pepper taste in my mouth (I ended up eating them as a post-lunch snack).

Ugh.
