Not the regular toll house type of CCC, a good hard crunch in every bite! I think that most people I know, even if they claim to be on a strict diet, will unbend enough to eat a cookie. The thing is, I love chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven but after they harden, […]
Pickle Juice gives it a nice acidic hint of taste I particularly like potato salad with meats and chicken and fish, to give a delicious side dish that keeps well in the fridge and anyway, doesn’t last long. Most people love it and nobody snoots it as “leftovers” which for me is a win-win. It’s […]
