Another cookie for you, Mr. MP

Take a look at what I received in the mail yesterday – it is a letter from my local Member of Parliament, Mr. Vic Toews, congratulating me on winning the “My Cookies are the Best” contest, hosted by Manitoba Canola Growers! Although I’m sure he’s busy with other more pressing matters, it is kind of neat (in a funny way) to get recognition from your government.

Congratulations Letter from Vic Toews

 

I think that’s a nice little boost during Celiac Awareness Month. Now if only we could get a law passed that would require all chefs and wait-staff to be educated on the seriousness of what “gluten-free” means to those of us that require a gluten-free diet, possibly by making it a larger part of the Food Handlers Certificate courses that are taught by the government. Unfortunately, “Minister of Public Safety” doesn’t cover what the public eats. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Yay! That’s quite neat! I can’t believe a gluten-free cookie won a contest! I’ll have to try this recipe. I tried one of your others a few weeks ago and it was yummy. The store-bought gluten free stuff is generally so awful that I had given up until I tried your recipe.
    Thanks!

      Oh, store-bought can be good in a pinch, but it’s not nearly as good as homemade. ๐Ÿ™‚
