Cookie, Cookie, Cookie Starts With "C"

Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte also starts with "C."

Coincidence? I think not!!

Last week, Aunt Sammi came over to spend the day with me. Instead of going to school, I got to play with Aunt Sammi all day. The best part of our day - we made COOKIES!!!

This is a little known fact, but the character "Cookie Monster" was modeled after me. They added some blue hair, lowered his voice and made him a boy, but his affinity for cookies was definitely inspired by yours truly!


I put on one of my many aprons ( a good chef must have an apron to match each outfit!), and Aunt Sammi and I went straight to work. She put all of the ingredients in the bowl, and I was in charge of mixing.

Who needs a Kitchen Aid Mixer when you have me?!


Cookie dough on my nose...I wonder if my tongue can reach it?!

After a long, arduous baking session - one that involved constant taste tasting - here is the
pièce de résistance.

Of course every good chef must test her recipe before offering it to the masses.

Baking cookies is fun, but it can be VERY tiring. My arms need a rest from mixing, and my belly needs a rest from cookie dough.

Did I get any chocolate on my face?!?

Thanks for a fun day, Aunt Sammi!!

CHARLOTTE'S SHOUT OUTS
Penn State - 31 Temple - 0

1. Defense - For the second straight year, you shut out Temple. Yes, it's Temple, but still...a shut out is a shut out!!

2. Dan Connor - you had 18 tackles and a sack. If you don't win all the defensive awards this year, it proves that those voters don't know anything!

3. Derrick Williams - You made 7 catches for a career high 104 yards. You're making more of an impact every week. Your patience is paying off!!

4. Rodney Kinlaw - You went over the 1,000 rushing yards mark in this game. You ran for 168 yards and a touchdown - high five!! You also caught 5 balls - you can run, you can catch...can you throw, too, and take Morelli's place??

5. PSU fans - because of you, Temple had its biggest attendance for a football game ever. Philadelphia was "Happy Valley East" for the day.

6. Illinois - I love you! You gave a great birthday gift to Mommy!!
