~ MONDAY FAVORITES ~
This week: What is your favorite dessert?

In our continuing series about your favorites, we ask this week about food. We chose this topic for the most obvious of reasons--we all like eating. Instead of wasting time eating something nutritious, we skip to dessert. After all, that's the most important part of the meal. So? Post your favorite dessert and a picture on the thread. If you can't reach us via Freepmail, email us at canteenusa@canteenusa.com . By the way, you can put more than one favorite dessert. These things can be hard sometimes. We don't want to stress you.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

DID YOU KNOW?

Ruth Wakefield invented Chocolate Chip Cookies. Ruth Graves Wakefield graduated from the Framingham State Normal School Department of Household Arts in 1924. She worked as a dietitian and lectured on food, until, together with her husband she bought a tourist lodge named the Toll House Inn.

Ruth Wakefield prepared the recipes for the meals served to the guests at the Inn and gained local notoriety for her deserts. One of her favorite recipes was for Butter Drop Do cookies. The recipe called for the use of baker's chocolate and one day Ruth found herself without the needed ingredient. She substituted a semi-sweet chocolate bar cut up into bits. However, unlike the baker's chocolate the chopped up chocolate bar did not melt completely, the small pieces only softened.

As it so happened the chocolate bar had been a gift from Andrew Nestle of the Nestle Chocolate Company. As the Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe became popular, sales of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bar increased. Andrew Nestle and Ruth Wakefield struck a deal. Nestle would print the Toll House Cookie recipe on its packaging and Ruth Wakefield would have a lifetime supply of Nestle chocolate. (Click here to find out more information.)

*giggle* It happens every time.....the kittens get used to my touch and smell from the get-go. Then their eyes open and they FREAK at the GIANT they see. They hiss and spit. LOL! It doesn't take too long to get them to realize that the giant is the one who's been lovin' on 'em all the time.
Here's her sister, Sabrina. It was hard to get the focus right so the pic's a little blurry. Sorry.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Kittens are SO cute.

It's probably a good thing kittens ARE so cute......otherwise these lil darlings might not be here. The last thing we needed was MORE cats. LOL!
When hubby first brought Sheba into the house and I realized she was pregnant, I wanted to kick him all over the farm. He doesn't take care of all these critters....I do.

But now that I've held the darlings and kissed their lil faces, you couldn't take them away from me. I'm such a sucker. hehe!

Guess I'd better make the rounds and give all the kitties "good night" hugs and crawl into bed. It's late once again and I'm cross-eyed from lack of sleep.
I think I hear the Canteen Curfew Cop lurking around outside the Canteen so don't you stay up much longer yourself. *giggle* It's Monday and I know it's a long day for you.

Good night, sleep tight. Catch ya later.

That sounds yummy, she says, as she's frantically looking around for a pen to copy it down! (LOL! I love all sweets, including ice cream!)

Thank you for posting the 'recipe,' my Freeper Friend! :^D

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi, Norm...

Thanks.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm on the verge of crashing, so I shan't be much longer. Sleep well and fast, radu. *HUGS*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Moonmad27, for stopping in with your favs.

That looks awfully tasty, too! What can I say; my sweet-tooth has long been my undoing! LOL! :^D

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.
