Chocolate Chip Cookies to Die For

!±8± Chocolate Chip Cookies to Die For

What diet? Who ever heard of abstaining from chocolate chip cookies? I can detect the aroma around almost every corner I turn. The whole world seems to conspire against me. Every body's baking them. Every skinny soul I meet is consuming them by the dozen. I figure just one, or even two, or (heaven forbid) even three, won't hurt my calorie counting soul.

I slowly sink my salivating teeth into one chocolate chip cookie. So light, so crisp and chewy, I feel my taste buds go totally berserk. I shut my eyes, savor the sweetness, and let the little chocolate chips roll around inside my mouth. Tantalizing, tickling my taste buds, they take over my chocolate craving soul, mind and body.

How can anyone resist these little critters? What is life worth if one can't indulge a little every now and then? I succumb graciously. If I must lose the battle of the bulge, I must do so with dignity. And relish every moment of it - heart and soul.

Chocolate chip cookies - the words roll magically off my tongue. Who ever invented them deserves a Nobel peace prize. If there were more of them around the world, there would be fewer wars. They would make the greatest peace offerings. You could win over entire battalions of your enemies. They could become your slaves for life. Hostilities would end. Negotiations would flourish. Enemies would become your friends for life.

As is obvious, I am an acknowledged slave of the chocolate chip cookie. I can't bake them myself; I would probably consume the cookie dough before it even hits the oven. And as for those little pieces of chocolate chips, I doubt if they would reach the baking tray. So wisdom prevails and I let my mother, aunt, cousin, friend, anyone, bake them while I become the self appointed official taster. I consider myself quite the chocolate chip gourmet. I have dozens of chocolate chip cookie recipes at my disposal.

I can guide the baker on the best recipes, ingredients, baking tips and temperature setting, although this doesn't always go down well with the baker. However, I have collected these recipes with great enthusiasm, dedication and commitment. I wish some one would appreciate my efforts. I'm even willing to share some of these recipes with other enthusiasts.

Here goes one chocolate chip recipe that I really like. You will need:

o Unsalted Butter - 225 g
o Granulated sugar - 150 g
o Brown sugar - 160 g
o Eggs - 2
o Vanilla extract - 1 ½ teaspoons
o Flour - 295 g
o Baking soda - 1 teaspoon
o Salt - ½ teaspoon
o Semisweet chocolate chips - 270 g

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cream the butter. Add white and brown sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Incorporate vanilla smoothly.

Combine baking soda, flour and salt in another bowl. Combine egg mixture with dry ingredients until smooth. Add chocolate chips half way through. Cover and refrigerate till firm. Meanwhile, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop around two tablespoons of dough at a time on to baking sheet. Bake for around 12 - 14 minute until golden brown around edges.

Cool them. Consume them. Let the experience totally overwhelm you. You will never be the same again.

Effortless Pool Party For Kids and Grown-ups Too!

!±8± Effortless Pool Party For Kids and Grown-ups Too!

There is something about planning a party at the pool that alternately evokes images of lazy days and frenzied terror. Going as a guest to a pool party sounds positively lovely. All you have to do is soak up the sun and strategically position the towel so you look your best without appearing to actually orchestrate it.

However, if you are the host or hostess it is another matter entirely. You are now the party planner and the success or failure of the party will fall on you. Is planning a simple pool party difficult? What if you get there and you have forgotten the crucial ingredients? What should you serve? Will the food hold up on a hot day? What if... what if... what if...You might as well start to worry about lightening striking on a clear and beautiful day in southern California. It's not going to happen and neither is the other stuff. And if it does you'll just deal with it.

But we have to admit, a good party plan makes everybody feel better and we have a fool proof plan for you.

1. Here is your menu:

o Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (is there a kid around who doesn't love these?)
o Deli roll ups (recipe to follow) for the adults or adventurous kids
o Carrot sticks, celery
o Apples, grapes, cut up cantaloupe or whatever your favorite fruit is
o Chips, Trader Joe's Low Fat Pretzel Sticks and store bought dips
o Toll house chocolate chip cookies or Rice Krispy treats
o Drinks can be as simple as bottles of water
o It's easier to store everything in a nice cooler.
o Paper plates & napkins
o Trash bag

2. Putting you party in the cooler keeps everything cold and you don't have to worry about the food not holding up well. It has the added benefit of keeping all your food together in one place. If you don't have a cooler just put a few bags of ice in with the dips.

3. Bring pool toys which can be purchased at your local grocery store, drug store or any discount store like Tuesday Morning, Big Lots or the local 99¢ store . There are great bargains at those store where you don't have to spend a lot of money, but at the same time you can get a variety of pool toys. Blow up rafts, inner tubes, diving toys and squirt guns are great for the pool party. Don't forget towels, sunscreen and extra shirts

4. That's it. Get in the water, cool off and HAVE FUN!
