Today is Chocolate Chip Cookie Day and that seems like an excellent day to me. I have been a fan of cookies for a long, long time. But then who hasn't? When I was selling real estate I made it a practice, and even taught my trainees, not to accept refreshments when I went to someone's house to talk to them about putting it on the market. It's hard to look professional if you're trying to deal with a cup of coffee or something snacky while trying to ask questions and take notes. My professionalism went right our the window though, when I arrived at one home to be greeted by a charming homeowner who invited me into the immaculate kitchen, explaining as we headed that way, that she had just taken some chocolate chip cookies out of the oven. I felt my resolve slipping and when she offered me a glass of milk with the cookies, I was sunk. Who, with any memory of after school snacks in their past, could possibly say no to milk and cookies at 3:00 in the afternoon? Not me.
