My friend Trish makes the most delicious “triple chocolate chip” cookies. She had posted on Facebook that she was making a big batch to share with some of our mutual friends who are convalescing from surgery so I had to post a reply or two hinting to the fact that I would enjoy a few myself. I’m a sucker for these things. They are the best, and with Sierra gone, I’m at the mercy of others to bake to fulfill my cravings. The idea of getting my hands on some of these cookies began to consume me to the point that they were all I could think about.
I started off with (somewhat) teasing requests for the treats… and even offered to pick them up myself. Now, you have to understand, Trish is a good enough friend that I could call her and ask her to make a batch especially for me and she wouldn’t hesitate a moment, but I was saving that as a last resort. I don’t want to appear too “needy.” (Yeah, right.)
I offered to trade zucchini and she replied back with a positive response, so I jumped on the opportunity. I immediately went out and picked all of the zucchini I could glean from my plants. I picked all of the squash that was ready… and I have to say, they are the perfect size. My plan is to stop by her house on my way to work in the morning to surprise her. If all goes well, she’ll be so appreciative of the zucchini that she’ll offer me some cookies. I’ll let you know how it works out.
