Sassy Salad

Hi, My Dear Readers,
I made a sassy salad, that I served with dinner guest.  It turned out so good, that I thought I would share the list of ingredients with you.

I cut up Romaine lettuce put in the big bowl, then 3/4ths of a cumber cut in slices, then in half.  I cut up radishes, some red cabbage, small tomatoes, a package that had baby carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, which I then cut up into small pieces.  The salad was a big hit.  My guest had seconds and raved how good it was.  It's nice to have a big healthy salad that meets the expatiation of dinner guest.  Served with a few different style dressings.   

“Chocolate Chip Cookie Lovers”

 My dear readers,
To all of you who like chocolate chip cookies. 

I was encouraged to put a little food on my site. so here goes.  I just made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies for my husband.  It was so good, (actually, the best I've ever had.) I thought I would share it with you. I used Hershey's Special Dark, real mildly sweet chocolate instead of the Hershey chunks.  I used the recipe on the back of the package.  I  used for the first time, unsalted sweet cream Butter, (which the body digests easier than the imitation ones.)  The butter made them very creamy, it was perfect. The cookie melted in my mouth.   Now, I like my cookies pretty flat and chewy.  And that's just how they turned out.   I try not to stir more then necessary because the more you stir, the more air gets in the mix, the fatter the cookies.   Also, I try to use a little less flour for the same reason.   In the past, I would have trouble with the bottoms of the cookies burning, so, I now use a smaller baking sheet inside a bigger one, so I have a double layer of protection.   I let the cookies cook for 12 minutes instead of the 8 to 10 minutes the package calls for. The cookies come out golden brown,   Perfect.    So, for all you chocolate lovers enjoy!
