I'm a huge fan of
Parks and Recreation. It's definitely my favorite show on TV right now (I love TV comedies... a lot).
Characters (L->R): Donna, Leslie, Ann, April, Andy, Tom, Ben, Ron, Jerry, Chris
If you've never watched it before,
Parks and Rec is about a group of people working for the Department of Parks and Recreation in the fictional city of
Pawnee, Indiana. What makes the show great are the quirky characters, the awesome pop culture references, all those slow head shakes and deadpan stares (Ben and April especially), and the plethora of continued gags & jokes (Zorp and the Reasonabilists,
the creepy City Hall 4th Floor,
the absurdly offensive murals,
snooty rival city Eagleton, the library, the love for Li'l Sebastian, etc.).
I decided to make cookies based on characters in the show, much like I did for my
Glee Cookies. It just seems fitting since I adore the show's characters so much. Tom and Ron have the best lines, so it was difficult to pick just one to use on the images above and below this blurb. Though Leslie and Ben are cute together, my favorite couple on the show has to be April and Andy! By the way, the Ron cookie is wearing his "got lucky" Tiger Woods-ish red polo, haha. Enjoy!
P.S. If you've decided to start watching, it's better to start from the 2nd season rather than the 1st. (It doesn't become the awesome show it is now until the 2nd season; they made a huge comeback after mixed reviews in regards to the 1st season.)
P.P.S. I'm sort of wishing I made a Jean-Ralphio cookie... Orin and Tammy II as well :).
