Nice weather here in NY this weekend, and we took advantage of it! Outside decorating, walking in the woods on the property, collecting acorns! I went to the local library used book sale. I bought 45 books (mostly HM related, workbooks, easy readers etc) for $ 5.50! Can't beat that! We also took a few hours out today and went to look for new family room furniture. (no go) The kids had fun on the chairs...lol...next week is a "slower" week for us compared to what we usually have on the calendar, but the weather is not suppose to be so nice anyway. Have a potluck lunch playdate tomorrow and Friday suppose to go North about 2 1/2 hour to see our "camping" buddies! Hope everyone has an awesome week!
May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
