taste of home

Last week was great, but a little stressful. At work, we organized a one day course on Thursday concerning how water and sanitation businesses are evolving. Initially signups were a little low, then all of the sudden it jumped up to fifty people. The course went really well (connections and progress were made + people want more, but with more specific topics), but by Friday I was exhausted and a little down (I had not been sleeping well and had to deal with trying office politics). I was looking forward to an evening in front of the TV with a good snack. On the way home, I stopped at the grocery store and while looking for filo happened upon pre-made cookie dough! One of the quintessential drown your sorrows foods! I am all for baking your own chocolate chip cookies, but it involves so much extra effort here (conversions, calibrations, substitutions, making your own chocolate chip sized bits of chocolate, dealing different types of flour and baking soda...), which ordinarily I enjoy: The experimentation! The Challenge! The (occasional) triumph! I just didn't have it in me on Friday.

The dough was great. The chocolate:other stuff ratio was great. The finished cookies were great. The third season of Suburgatory was good.

It is made by a nestle subsidiary, so I'm guessing it was pretty close to the tollhouse recipe.

Also on the americanish food front I found, but did not buy these:

also coors light...
