Doh! Boy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

This recipe closely approximates (although better than) the Pillsbury Ready-Made Chocolate Chip Cookies available at your Groceries Dairy Section. It's unique in that it uses Marshmallow Creme for sugar. Since marshmallow creme expands when heated.

1/2 cup Butter (1 stick)*
1/2 cup Vegetable Shortening (Crisco Butter Flavor)*
1 cup Brown Sugar, Light, Packed
7 oz Marshmallow Creme or Marshmallow Fluff (1 jar)
1 large Egg
3 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 cup All-Purpose Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder*
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (most of a 12 oz package)
1 cup Chopped Walnuts (4 oz package - optional)

Soften butter/shortening in a microwave oven (use a microwave safe mixing bowl or glass measuring cup) stirring every 15 seconds until very soft. Add brown sugar, salt, marshmallow creme, baking powder, and vanilla and beat well. Add egg and beat until creamy. Add flour mixture (1/2 cup at a time) while beating. Add chocolate chips and nuts (optional). Refrigerate for 1-3 hours in covered bowl. Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Drop onto a waxed paper lined, room-temperature, air-bake cookie sheet in large rounded tablespoonful size (or small ice-cream scooper). Bake 10-12 minutes checking every two minutes after 8 minutes for golden brown appearance. Waxed paper may smoke so keep area well ventilated. Remove sheet from oven and let stand 5 minutes before transferring to a cool/flat surface. Rinse and dry cookie sheet between batches. Makes about [4] dozen cookies.

Daschle Should Be..

“Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter.” 

Sen. Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, May 7, 1998, p. S4.

Tom Daschle should be, and I know that many, if not all of us South Dakotans are, ashamed of his "tax problem".  He should be required, just like every other taxpayer in America, to pay full restitution - taxes, penalties, fines and whatever else the IRS would like to throw at him.

What really perturbs me is that he would have continued to get away with defrauding the IRS indefinitely if he had not been nominated and undergone the vetting process.

God Blessed South Dakota

On the sixth day God turned to the Archangel Gabriel and said: 'Today, I am going to create a land called South Dakota. It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty; a land of beautiful lakes, each one full of fish. It shall have tall majestic pines, peacefully flowing rivers, landscapes full of buffalo, tall grass, and eagles, beautiful blue skies, rich farmland and fair and dark skinned people.

God continued, 'I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper and they shall be known as a most friendly people, people who practice being nice every day.'

But Lord,' asked Gabriel, 'don't you think you are being too generous to these South Dakota people?' 

'Not really,' replied God 'just wait and see the winters I am going to give them.'

AND NOW YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
