P.S. They passed quality control. :)
Slightly different bake with margarine, alack, but butter keeps wavering between unavailable and costly. We also saw *huge* downshifts in local beer production due to the cost of raw materials and shipping. Club Colombia usually has three varieties but it's down to one everywhere, and my favourite craft brewery seems to have reduced operations to in-house only.
We can *really* feel economic pressures from war and inflation sneaking in.
But still - cookies!
