Does Jon Hamm like animal crackers?

Last year I was again sucked into the lure of Williams Sonoma, and once there wanted to buy everything in the store. I did buy some animal cracker cookie cutters. Oh, I thought, this will be awesome, I can just make my own animal crackers and Ellie will love them and oh my god I am going to soon dethrone Martha Stewart because I am such a domesticated genius. Where shall I start in the poking of holes in that whole deluded thought? Let me start with calling out whoever that mean person is who printed the recipe. Don't you know that some of us mothers didn't have our children in high school? Meaning we are OLD. Well, specifically meaning, I cannot read a recipe on the box of animal cracker cookie cutters in 8 point type without some sort of reading glasses which my toddler has absconded with. So thank you for making me feel old, something I really didn't think a cookie cutter could do.

Perhaps if I'd had my glasses at the store I would have realized that the recipe had too many ingredients AND required refrigeration of the dough. Like I have that kind of time. But I was determined to crank out these tasty treats for my child. As I was rolling out the dough I had visions of my animal crackers being featured on the Today Show. Matt Lauer would interview me. Jon Hamm would be a guest that day and taste one of the animal crackers and fall in love with me. Except refrigeration of that damn dough made it really hard to roll out, then it got warm and stuck to the cookie cutters, then I tried to transfer them to the cookie sheet and they fell apart. Then I baked a few and they burned. Then I threw the rest of the dough away, put those cookie cutters on the top shelf of the pantry and set my mind on other ways to attract the attention of Jon Hamm.

Today I thought of those cookie cutters while I was eating some animal crackers. You know, the ones that come in a GIANT tub for $10 at costco. Who in their right mind makes animal crackers? The homemade marshmallows I am totally down with but animal crackers, that's sheer lunacy.
