By the end of this shoot, I was ready to take a real gun to them. When taking pictures of anything with a high fat content, either chill it or freeze it first. It keeps any doilies from soaking up the fat and getting blotchy. I fought this all day before the solution came to me.

Some Observations ....

First … I am not sure why folks have to fix things that just ain’t broken. Has anyone noticed that the Hershey’s Kiss … is no longer … “kissed”? Nope it’s just another run of the mill, molded, piece of chocolate confection now. I don’t know when it happened but I think It happened in the past year or so. After 100 years they changed the way they make the product thinking we wouldn’t notice. Yup the kiss has a rounded top now that can’t possibly be formed from “dropping” as I’m almost certain they had been made for a century. Now you no longer have that tiny sliver that broke off as you were trying to get the kiss out of it’s wrapper. That’s actually what made me look very closely at it. I actually missed that little piece that would always fall off on my clothes or someplace. All my life … coming up on 52 years … I’ve licked my finger to pick that meaningless little piece of chocolate up. Now I have no reason to lick my finger. sigh Second … Toll House Cookies …. I am a die hard Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip person for cookies … THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE! OK … I’ll confess there is one substitute … the Wilbur Chocolate Chip … but that is the ONLY substitute. But I STILL bake my cookie per the Toll House recipe on the back of that famous yellow bag … well mostly … sorta kinda … OK again I’ll confess I modify it a little … well … maybe more than a little. BUT I STILL MAKE ONE DAMN FINE … NESTLE TOLL HOUSE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE! Or do I? Well it is one damn fine cookie and I have perfected it over the years and I have a very hard time eatting any other. Alas I have become a cookie snob. The other week though, I got despartate for a cookie and I just didn’t feel like baking … soooooooo … for the first time ever I bought some of that NTH cookie dough in the yellow roll. I put it on the baking tray … and it needed something so I topped each one with some pecans. I tossed them in the oven and waited patiently for 10 minutes … Ding …. My cookies were done … I took them out of the oven … and was shocked. No … actually I was mortified. What were these thin freaky looking little things? They weren’t like my NTH cookies???? So I tasted one … hmmmmmm. Well that was a waste of 20 minutes. Being the cookie addict that I am, I ate them but I did not enjoy them at all. I ate them under duress and I needed that FIX. If that is the official NTH cookie … well … it sucks. Soooo … I don’t know what the hell it is I’ve been baking all my life but I will never ever insult it again by calling it a Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie … sorry folks at Nestle … you make a great chip … but you missed the boat big time with the cookie recipe. Give me a call, I’ll sell you a REAL cookie recipe …. for only a million bazillion dollars! Like I said … I bake one damn fine cookie! Just some observations … Today would be my Dad’s 78th birthday … Happy Birthday Dad. He never got to taste my cookie in it’s final form. I think he would have liked it.
