So, when you own your own business, there is always a lot of work...but there are typically some perks. Yesterday I went down to *The Business* between leaving my work office and going to pick up the boys from school so that I could meet the corporate trainer who has been working with DH this week. Before I left, I was given a 25 pound box of chocolate chips and a flat of strawberries. The chocolate was left from the previous owner and was a brand that is not high quality used when dipping strawberries and other fruit for the fruit bouquets. And the flat of strawberries that came home with me...were too small to put in the arrangements as well. We have high standards when it comes to the quality of the products and produce we put in the fruit bouquets - we don't want to be selling and delivery poor products to the customers.
Strawberries, we can eat at home or put in fruit smoothies (yum) - so they will not take too long to consume. The 25 lbs of chocolate chips? Well, that is another thing.
When I walked out of the store, the trainer joked with DH and I...he expected to see some chocolate chip cookies the next day. So, last night, DH brought home stick butter and flour from Costco (now, in addition to the 25 pounds of chocolate chips, I have a 25 pound bag of white flour and 4 pounds of butter); and when I got home from hockey practice, I got out the Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie recipe and made 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies. At 10pm last night I had made 80 cookies.
Two batches of cookies didn't make much of a dent in the chocolate chips...guess I will have to come up with some other treats to make...nice that the holidays are coming up, for I am sure that I can make some wonderful holiday treats and share them with others!
Hope your Tuesday was nice and sweet too! Take care and remember...
Live, Love, Laugh and Stitch often!

Oh the joy of chocolate...hmmmm what to do with that much? Well, like you said, with the holidays fast upon us, it may just as well be used and enjoyed. Have fun.
Be always in stitches.
Yum! Too bad you live so far...I love cookies! Actually...that's probably good we live far. I like cookies but my waistline def. doesn't need them! lol
Oh yum. Those cookies look good. I can almost smell them from here. :)
Now with all thos chips how about CC pancakes? CC brownies. Or melt them in the microwave for the brownies. CC oatmeal cookies, CC cheesecake. Or any cake for that matter with CC. Oh the ways you cna use those chips are endless. :)
NomNomNomNom cookies! I haven't baked cookies in 2 years... because I just eat them and well we can't do that!
Chocolate chips in oatmeal-pumpkin cookies (let me know if you want the recipe - it's my very favorite cookie!), in banana bread, with cranberries in cookies or muffins... Hmmm... "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways" seems appropriate here!
