I met Michael from Financially Alert last year in San Diego and greatly enjoyed it. Like 99.8% of people in the personal finance blogosphere, he is a guy I’d be happy to have a beer cookie with any day of the week. I say “cookie” because Michael was awesome enough to give my family and I homemade chocolate chip cookies.
And let me tell you, I love chocolate chip cookies:
- Chocolate chip cookies are one of the best things in the world. Right up there with a double frosting Cinnabon or german chocolate cake. Mmmmmm, cake…
- If the bag of chocolate chip cookies and my wife fell off a boat and I could only rescue one… DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE!
- Chocolate chip cookies will take you far with me as long as you don’t chew them with your mouth open (I explain this in the interview).
So Michael, thanks again for the cookies. They, Were. Awesome. Also, thank you for interviewing me on your blog.

Well, I think you know my feelings about chocolate chip cookies! This feeling extends to sugar cookies, shortbread cookies, peanut butter cookies, oatmeal cookies (no raisins), monster cookies, ginger snaps, …… You may be sensing a pattern.
Nothing like a surprise gift, especially a tasty one (very nice gesture by Michael).
Yes to all of those. Big yes. Now, I’m hungry.
So glad to have met you Mr.1500!! Thanks so much for sharing your incredible story with us.
See you back in San Diego later this year. I may just have more cookies in hand. 😉

Chocolate chip cookies are one of the best things in the world.
Just one question. Where can we find thát recipe?
Nice interview!
Hint: Use the Nestle Toll House Recipe as your base… but swap the nestle chocolate chips with Ghiradelli! This will get you pretty close. 😉

I know a really good home brewer, my first meeting of him was in Milwaukee’s Firkin Festival trying out his Christmas Cookie Stout, mildly spiced and holey shit was it good. He became the Christmas Cookie guy to a lot of us lol.
