to bake or not to bake...

I like cookies.

It's fun to bake.

Why do they have to be so bad for my body? heavy sigh...

There's a recipe from my mom called "Delicious Cookies." True to their name, they are indeed delici-o-so. Whenever I make them for a little gift, the recipient will often tell me they were the best cookies they've ever tasted. I don't remember where the recipe originated. It was perhaps from Mindi's mom Judy, or from the ever impressive Beverly Jean. I'll need to consult with Mother about the origin.

Does your body ache for chocolate? Sometimes I literally ache for a piece or five of Hershey's. The specialty gourmet chocolate is nice, however it feels and tastes too delicate. I love a nice piece of Hershey's chocolate with almonds. It has some body to it, not melted away in 3 seconds. Yum-o-rama.

Perhaps I'm just too swayed with the chocolate season the retailers call Valentines. Everywhere you look there are flowers and chocolate. Even in my market downstairs there's velvety brown ecstasy in full bloom. Also spotted in the Midtown Market-- wooden roses. popular with the snowbird crowd I'm told by Lisa. :)

I will try to control my shocolate urge by imagining how many minutes I'll need to add to my workout routine for every bite of hefty Hershey's. sigh...

worth it maybe?
