  • The Chocolate Chip Cookie was inadvertently created in 1930 by Ruth Craves Wakefield at the Toll House Inn Whitman, MA. Lacking bakers chocolate for her cookie recipe, she substituted a chopped semi-sweet chocolate off a bar, expecting it to melt into the batter during baking. The chocolate did not melt, and the cookie became an instant American classic. Ruth received a lifetime supply of chocolate for the rights to publish the recipe.

  • DIET TIPS:
    1) If no one sees you eat it - it has no calories.
    2) If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar - they cancel each other out.
    3) When eating with someone else, cut your calories in half.
    4) Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER counts, such as: chocolate, brandy, and Sara Lee Cheese Cake.
    5) If you fatten up everyone around you then you look thinner.
    6) Movie related foods don't count because they're simply part of the movie experience - the entertainment factor.
    7) Pieces of cookies contain no calories. The process of breaking up whole cookies into pieces causes the calories to leak out.
    8) Late Night snacking has no calories because it's too dark to read the calorie counts off the package. It's way too dark to write them in your counter book anyway.

Tips:

-- Make sure you get those family recipes in your scrapbook. If you can get a card or letter in your mother's or grandmother's handwriting, copy it for your book and put the card in an acid-free clear envelope. This will slow the aging of the paper.

-- Make sure you save all your old family recipes in your computer for safety sake. In case of fire or other disaster always store a backup disk at work or someone's house.
