Overcome, Adapt and Improvise!

Yesterday was our 4th of July BBQ with my mother and my hubby's mother. The weather was less than stellar, in fact it rained all day 8(  Needless to say it made my mood down.   I had planned on using our deck and setting up a beautiful display for us in all the red, white and blue...but that did not happen...so I moved the bbq inside into our kitchen and dinning room.  Food was still great, just wish mother nature was kinder...








Salt Potatoes!  If have never heard of them or have never had
them, you are missing out!




These wrappers and picks are from a great gal and her shop

National Chocolate Chip Day

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
