First of all, we welcome you to the very first publishing of LoTCookie, your monthly bite to life on Mars.

One thing that might be asked is, why the name LoTCookie?

The word 'LoT' here is not defined as 'only for members of LoT', nor does it limit its usage to them, but rather, it expresses what makes up the heart of the Legends of Time - no matter what our age, what our background, where we come from, what we do, in LoT, we are one family, in one bond.

And LoT always has been, and always will be, more than just a clan. It is a shelter for the homeless; a warm bowl of broth for the hungry; a fountain for the thirsty; a bed for the weary... it is home.

For we are more than comrades; we are brothers. (and sisters :P)

And while 'Cookie' is an obvious reference to the person whose dreamchild is LoT itself, the one and only Cookster, it is far more than just a tribute to him. (Don't get me wrong, Cookster is a legend; a brilliant and charismatic leader and a dedicated friend - his many quirks actually serve to show him in a more mortal form - whom we all adore.)

'Cookie', to me, represents just about everything we stand for, it is practically what LoT is, in essence. A cookie is attractive to behold, tastes godly in your mouth, and most importantly, is fun to share with somebody else. LoT strives, above all else, to provide an environment which is not only attractive and effective, but also one which involves fun. In fact, the people of LoT are so attached to what they do, they are often mistaken for lunatics. (we are aware, but we just couldn't be bothered)

And so, we hope that this piece of cookie we are sharing with you puts some nuggets of informative nutrition into your body, - and more importantly, a smile on your face.
