A trick my friend used to do was to keep a batch of cookie dough on hand in case of guests, and could act like they just so happened to be baking cookies right then so it wouldn't seem like a bother and still get fresh baked cookies. I wonder if Ms. A knows that trick...

Nope. You may not personally finish the job in that case, but it's not universal.
The one time that happened to me, I covered the mixing bowl and ran to the store. Yes, the nearest store that was open was a 30 minute drive, but once I started making the cookies, I had to finish. The joys of OCD.

More like Claire frequently does a Momface. Intellectual property an' all, y'know.
300 years ago in the same area she'd be known as Mother Gusta (the one with powers). She was accused of witchcraft, but the magistrate was mighty fond of her cookies and had the accusers hanged instead.

It should be indeed, but O'Malley was still half snoggered when he wrote the report.

Picky note: they didn't say they wouldn't finish the job, only that it's a bad time to be making cookies. Possibly for the exact reason you've just described. BTW I would do exactly the same thing, and I am not OCD (not even in the trendy but medically incorrect sense of the word).
awgiedawgie:
Touché. I suppose that could be considered a bad time to bake cookies. At least until you've been to the store to get the missing ingredient.
However, I also disagree with a couple of the other "bad times to bake cookies."

When you nil past mouth.

1. You can never have too many cookies, so already having them doesn't mean it's a bad time to make more.
2. I have never seen the phrase "nil past mouth", but I assume they are referring to the medical term NPO (nil per os, which actually translates as "nothing by mouth", and is written out as the full phrase in medical documents), which is a very short-term situation - usually only 12 to 24 hours. I have been under that restriction a number of times - usually before having an MRI, but also before surgery. If you make the cookies while you are NPO, then you will have them waiting for you as soon as you're allowed to eat again. I suppose if you happen to be in the hospital at the time, then it would indeed be a bad time to bake cookies. But then again, any time you're in the hospital would be a bad time to bake cookies (and that one wasn't on their list).
