Two Very Unrelated Things, Now Related

(last year's photo - it was raining and he was too far from the house today!)

Chewy crawled up from under the shed today and showed his ugly mug!

In honor of this Super Springy tradition, I am having a chocolate chip throwdown next week.

See, related, yet not.

First, my highly trained panel of judges will choose the best chocolate chip. Then, later in the week, I will bake chocolate chip cookies a-plenty, using 6 different recipes (and the winning chocolate chips) to determine which recipe is best.

I promise no groundhogs will be harmed in the making or eating of the cookies. I cannot necessarily say the same for my waistline.

I'll introduce you to the panel of judges next week. In the meantime, if you have a favorite chocolate chip you'd like included in our judging, let me know!
