Jesse generously offers corroborating evidence (okay, fine, just an opinion) that my chocolate chip cookies are quite good!
No bribes or other coercive methods were applied, of course.
(Back story: I solicited many people a few months ago to donate money to support my participation in the MS Walk for research and education for multiple sclerosis. To encourage people to donate money, I promised that I would bake a batch of my infamous chocolate cookies for the person who donated the most money. Jesse donated eight kajillion dollars and, today, two months after the walk, I finally baked and delivered my cookies to him. And they were worth the wait, dang it!
Another person donated eight kajillion dollars, but he told me that he doesn’t like cookies!
What?!
So he got a loaf of pumpkin bread instead.)
Making cookies is just as wonderful as eating them. Mmm.

a … a whole eight kajillion dollars? that’s kind of a … lot. but clearly jesse thinks they were worth it. maybe you should ditch this whole medicine dealio and become a baker, instead. or! open a bakery-clinic.
i’m pretty sure there’s a paper out there somewhere on the therapeutic effects of the smell of baking.

No fair…I don’t even know how big a kajillion is (which brings to mind the joke about Bush and the Brazilian soldiers), but I have a feeling its more than I can afford. I agree with Fathima’s comment, though. You might want to consider becoming a writer/baker. The money might not be as good, but the hours are likely better, and you’d not have to deal with insurance companies.
