It's 4 am - Why is the Cookie jar made from Glass?

The telltale *ping* of glass against glass as I raid the cookie jar here at 4 am echoes through the house like a hand grenade. I am convinced I can hear the girls turning in their beds and hubby's snoring breaking its stride. *sigh*
... biscotti crumbs rain down across my breasts as I pad through the darkened kitchen in bare feet and go into the living room, flick on the light and boot up the laptop ... my stocks are up today! yay! but only 3% ... how come all the other stocks I'm tracking are up 14%?
now there are biscotti crumbs over my thighs ... it's probably better wearing pyjamas if only to act as a bib, but I simply cannot sleep in anything.
i can't answer all my emails and they are stacking up - if things can stack up in the digital world, not actually existing I mean ... so I'm clicking through the internet ... what is a "lesbian Dad"? or an "authentic lesbian woman"? I love the Dove ads - http://slate.msn.com/id/2123659 featuring normal women -
all the while i know there are leftovers in the fridge - chicken burgers from sunday night, schnitzel from saturday, milk rice from this morning ... my stomach is growling but I will wait until 7 for coffee and breakfast. it's going to be another long day.
oh great! now the internet connection has gone --- then I'm to continue this on the desktop. what a pain.

anyway - we made lovely chicken burgers sunday -
fresh chicken breasts, grind them first with a mallet then with your knife, on the cutting board just like grandma used to.
for one full chicken breast add the following:
1 tbl dijon, one white roll (crumbs of), 1 tbl olive oil, salt and pepper (fresh ground), 1 tbl balsamic vinegar, 1 small red onion and 1 clove of garlic very finely chopped, 1 tbl fresh tarragon leaves also finely chopped.

make a small ball of goat cheese in your hand and form the meat around this - flatten to make a small patty. smaller patties are best.
fry and serve in a small bun. less bun, more meat. and a nice soft bun. we get them from a german baker - "milch brötchen" are about half the size of a normal roll and very very soft.

poka! :o) katrin
