Going down in mysterious ways

[sovay]

Our oven failed to light twice tonight, so I decided discretion was the better part of not being blown out a window and made a kind of peanut butter oatmeal no-bake cookie from a family recipe of spatch's. Basically, you start with penuche and then add protein. They came out deliciously. I am mostly existing at the moment, but my godchild called this evening to tell me about their day and the present they are painting for one of their grandparents and a couple of parcels arrived in the mail. I am cooking with a lot of tinned fish and regret nothing. I wish bell hooks were not dead.

That sounds very much like a dessert from the school cafeteria of my boomer childhood.

I wouldn't be surprised—I don't think it's a recent recipe. The original formulation calls for chocolate to be added after the brown sugar/butter/milk stage, but since I can't eat chocolate, they come out very peanut butter penuche.
