Framed Cooks

My dad and I have a lot in common.  We are both Mets fans, we are both Hoyas, and we both love a good Jimmy Buffett song.  We like a nice glass of red wine now and again, and we both think my mom’s macaroni and cheese is one of the best-tasting things on the planet.  So you’d think we would be partners in dessert preferences, but here’s where we diverge.  I am a chocolate lover through and through, but my dad?  Not so much.  He’ll have some if it’s there, but if you want to win his heart with dessert, he’s a gingerbread, oatmeal cookie, rum raisin ice cream kind of guy.  And since I love him more than words can say, I recently decide to put a few of his favorite things together, and that’s how I ended up with a jar full of rum raisin oatmeal cookies.
