Hey everybody, at long last, here are my slug cookies, produced (with my home-made banana slug cookie cutter and cartoon design) by the Buttery. We handed a bunch out today and they went fast, and we hear there are only three left at the Buttery itself. Some people ate a whole fistful at once. They're going to sugar-crash so hard! Long live Sammy the Slug.When I first saw these I flipped out. It's like seeing one of my cartoons or doodles transformed into a food item. And then you start seeing people biting off their heads and nibbling on their little antennae and you feel like saying, "No, no, no, hey you, stop, that's mine!"

Is there a Buttery in Palos Verdes?
Where is the Buttery in Palos Verdes?
dear Anon, since we corresponded yesterday, the Buttery still hasn't opened up a branch in PV. If you want, I can get on the phone and lobby for it as hard as I can. Let's face it, PV doesn't have any more-than-decent freestanding bakery. (am i wrong about this?)
Yum! These are gorgeous, and I think the Buttery (or some independent cafe on campus, is there are still any left? Probably not.) should sell them regularly. No slugs were harmed in the making of them, right?
hi Phyte Club Katie -- yes, no slugs were harmed in the making of them, but that cat-shaped cookie cutter that I bought for 99 cents at a downtown baking-supply store was harmed mightily. It looked like a long, skinny cat in repose. This meant I had to 'erase' its legs and turn its ears into antennae or 'horns.' It took a lot of hammering, bending, twisting, etc.
