She always made a double batch of oatmeal raisin cookies because they always disappeared too quickly. She reached for a bottle of vanilla extract and didn't look at it, because it was where the vanilla extract usually was. When the cookies were baking, something didn't smell right. There was a smell like someone had a barbecue going nearby. We couldn't track down the smell. I found out where it was coming from when I tasted the first cookie. Instead of vanilla extract, she had used liquid smoke!! For a long time, we kidded her about her new invention: Mom's Oatmeal Smokeys. Yes, oddly enough, we ate them all. It just took a lot longer to do it. --- Be positive!
