Are you ready for this? It's freakin' epic! I can't even describe the awesomeness of this little pumpkin.
This, my friend, is the best cookie of my childhood years. Wait, just so we're clear, this particular cookie is not from my childhood. I mean, I didn't love it that much that I would keep it all these years, but I do very much love this kind of cookie. So, what the story behind this undoubtedly, highly collectible item? Well, I went to the dining hall at my college a couple of days ago, and there were angels singing and godly light shining from the heavens over these cookies. My eyes lit up and it was love at... um... "I haven't seen you in a while" sight. So obviously, I bought not just one, but 2 of these delectable delights. Actually, I initially only bought one but I couldn't keep my greedy little hands off of it long enough to take a picture, so I had to buy another one just to take a picture so I could post it on my blog. Anyways, yes, back to the cookie. We used to get little cookies like this back in elementary school. I remember everyone used to get so excited because we would always have a Halloween party during class and watch a movie while we passed around little goodies to eat. Sigh. Those were the good old days - literally, they were quite old, quite a while ago. 
Another picture of the clay lamps. My parents are always afraid of stuff catching on fire so we pot the lamps on these huge trays or in the case above, in large bowls. There's just something about these lamps that makes the house feel so warm and inviting. My mom always lets me be the one to light all the lamps and it feels good to light the lamps and create light like people would in the old days. In fact, I'm almost positive that some people in India still use these and I vividly remember these these lamps when I used to live in India. Even then, I used to love the ambiance that the lamps created.
