[Tanuki]

It's the same chocolate chip oatmeal recipe that Hillary won with in the Family Circle Magazine cookie challenge when Bill was running. It's still a winner...and this time it trumped Melania's recipe!

I haven't baked cookies for awhile anyway, and that looks appealing beyond the symbolism!

Not every day do we elect a woman president.

I will celebrate my own way, but hat-tipping that bullshit won't be it.

I will celebrate by donating to Planned Parenthood and Emily's List.
