Chocolate chip crap

I’m baaaack! With Internet service and all! This weekend was my father’s birthday so it included things like- a very large grilled steak, cheese burgers, fries, margaritas, wine, “dirt pie”, and drinking a whole bottle of Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka- oh and moonshine- that’s right folks- that’s how we do it in the south.

My mother gave me a copy of one of her vegetarian magazines- full of awesome recipes that I can’t wait to try. I attempted one last night- a “healthy” chocolate chip cookie. What a bunch of crap that thing turned out to be.

Ingredients:

• Milk
• Canola oil
• Brown sugar
• Wheat flour
• Chocolate chips
• 1 egg

The picture would lead me to believe the cookies will look like this:

In actuality they look like this:

And they taste NOTHING like the warm, gooey, loadedwithdelicious Nestle Tollhouse cookies- more like wheat bread with some chocolate in it. Don’t get me wrong- I still ate them. But still. What a let down.

** I'm reading the Vegetarian magazine and say to my boyfriend "I really want to be a vegetarian." Boyfriend is visibly upset and says "please no. I don't want us to never have meat for dinner- that is just too hard."

I guess I shouldn't tell him that we haven't bought or cooked meat for about 3 weeks now. (not counting fish)
