Toll House Cookies on the Horizon?Toll House Cookies on the Horizon?Yes, my friends, I am so giddy with excitement, I can barely type. Why is that? First and foremost, because I'm a dork.

Mikey Likes It!Mikey Likes It!If by Mikey, I mean Greg, then yes, this is accurate!I've noted before that Greg is not a huge fan of sweets. When an amateur baker learns this when she is in a budding relationship with a very cute potential significant other, the effects could be personally devastating.
