You forgot Porto's Bakery. There are two, one in Glendale and one in Burbank--amazing chocolate chip cookies. Because they sell so many it's easy to get them right out of the over.

Chocolate chip cookies, vegan style, yum yum...

Yup, totally yum. I didn't know it was chocolate chip cookie week. I made vegan chocolate chip cookies this past weekend and they were soft and gooey in the center and crispy on the edges. Secret ingredient = flaxmeal.

I love chocolate chip cookies! Too bad I'm hypoglycemic.

[Tabuism]

I'm not sure on Hypoglycemia, but I had a few friends who could not use chocolate, and they substituted carob for chocolate.

It's naturally sweet.

Ceratonia siliqua, commonly known as the carob tree,

The carob chips I've seen still have too much sugar in them for me, and also whey, which I am allergic to. In addition, I have a gluten and dairy sensitivity so can't eat the other ingredients either. I'm pretty much screwed unless I want to pay a fortune for low-glycemic, gluten and sugar free cookies, if they even exist. However, I did have a couple pieces of a gluten and sugar free chocolate cake at a party recently and did just fine. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask who made it so I could get the recipe. Anyhow, thanks for your suggestions. That was sweet (no pun intended!).

Also what we used to call Wolf berry's, now called Goji berry's, are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) to regulate blood sugar in mild cases, and for other things, You might already know that. Thought I'd throw that in...

[Ganeshari]

Interesting, because goji berries have a fairly high sugar content. I don't do well with any fruit or sugar period. Maybe the operative word here is "mild." My hypoglycemia is worse than mild I think. But I will research it and ask my OMD.

Who is in charge of the headlines on the HP front page? The headline for this story refers to Chocolate Chip Cookie DAY. Follow the link and its a story about Chocolate Chip Cookie WEEK. Is it really that freakin' tough to get it right? Jeezus.
