Another Chocolate Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............................
As a kid, I had the two MOST IMPORTANT jobs in our household. Dad got home from work shortly after I got home from school. It was my responsibility to have a fresh pot of coffee on for him.
My other job was to keep him supplied in homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies. Even though he is gone, I should bake some in his honor, today. And have just one.
Yeah, right. Just one, LOL!
Bkmk
Sounds like a winner for lunch, though (not WITH lunch, INSTEAD of lunch)
Once the rush to get in on NCCCD has died down, I’ll be looking to score some quality CCC’s from the 50% off rack at Kroger. Why pay more?
Is there anything better than a well-made chocolate cookie straight out of the oven with crisp edges and a soft center?
I’ve gone back to making them like my mother did, from scratch - using real butter and high quality ingredients including good-quality chocolate chips.
The difference from a ready-made roll of “slice and bake” or using margarine is phenomenal.
We have “National Days” for everything now! In keeping with that, I propose Nat’l Bowel Movement Day. Much more important than chocolate chip cookies. Can we all get behind this new day of celebration?!
(Doffs hat) - in 1937 you needed a chocolate chip cookie to cope with the way the world was going to hell. Today, however...come to think of it, I think I'll have a cookie.
Today we also honor the birth of an FR luminary, Helen Thomas, the first person to fall out of the Ugly Tree and hit every branch on the way down. That, FRiends, is truly the gold standard of being uggled.
