~ 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.)

I haven't read Linda's column. I know what it would say though.

I restrain myself when writing about my Brittany because I would risk sounding like a maudlin nut case.

Anyone that has loved that one special dog that epitomizes every thing that is noble, splendid and lovable about a dog would understand.

There are dogs and then there are DOGS. If I could insert musical notes I would.

Love of a dog, and loving a dog changes you for the
better.

Allergic to chocolate??? That is not fair! ;)

BTW, I'm still laughing about your response to my suggestion that the political parties assemble sports teams.

Good Afternoon Tomkow.
Why is Wrigley Field falling apart?
I think it is part of a conspiracy to build a new ballpark.

Seven told me that she would prefer some fruits and vegetables,
so I was thinking that I would take this chocolate mouse of of her hands.
Heeehhheehhe.
