Ginger or Mary Ann


I'm taking a class through UC Berkeley extension on writing about food. I don't think I'm doing well. At break, the instructor passed out ginger snap cookies and we had 5 minutes to write a short piece to describe the cookies as it might appear in the header of a cookbook recipe. So I wrote (and keep in mind I only had 5 minutes):

“In the age old argument, “Ginger or Mary Ann”, Ginger gets the nod here – providing just the right oomph to a cookie that clearly should not be castaway.”

No one laughed. It's tough when you throw something out there and it just dies...
