I loves me some chocolate chip cookies. And if I do say so myself, I can make the very best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had. They’re pretty awesome. But I’m no baker. I really don’t know what I’m doing other than following a recipe with some of my own modifications (guesses, really). I don’t […]

Frankly I’m not opposed to cool weather, I like cool weather. But really, Mother Nature? What all this […]
