it The Toll House Inn. It used to be a rest stop for tired travelers where they could sit down and eat. The Wakefields wanted the Inn to feel cozy, like home, so it wasn’t too big. One day, Ruth discovered how to make a chocolate chip cookie, called then the chocolate crunch cookie. After that, everyone wanted to know the recipe of these yummy cookies. She published a cookbook called Ruth Wakefield, Tried and True Recipes. After many years had gone by, the Wakefields decided to sell the Inn in 1966

Ruth was born on June 17, 1903, and she grew up in Easton, Massachusett and graduated from Oliver Ames High School in 1920. Wakefield was educated at Framingham State Normal School Department of Household Arts in 1924.Ruth then worked as a graduate and educator, a business owner and author of Toll House Tried and True Recipes, which was the first to include the recipe
for a regular ice-cream cookie recipe and, in desperation, replaced them with chunks chopped out of a bar of Nestle bittersweet chocolate. Another story is said that the vibrations from an industrial mixer caused chocolate stored on a shelf in the Toll House kitchen to fall into a bowl of cookie dough as it was being mixed. Sadly, all of these stories are false, says Carolyn Wyman in her recently published “Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book.” In her book, Wyman offers a more believable version

Samuel Pepys described the fire as “A most malicious bloody flame, as one entire arch of fire of above a mile long… the churches, houses and all on fire and flaming at once, and a horrid noise the flames made.” (Britain Express 1). Although it started as a small fire in a baker’s shop and the official death toll was low, nevertheless the Great Fire of London heavily impacted England’s social, political, and economic history because the outcome allowed for changes in many
Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies Chocolate chip cookies are the best when they smell like heaven, look like a mound of glory, and melt in your mouth. According to the New York Times, “Mrs. Wakefield of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Mass. is first credited with making chocolate chip cookies.” (Leite “Perfection? Hint: It’s Warm and Has a Secret.”) Grandma’s chocolate chip cookies are all of these and more. To make these scrumptious cookies you will need several ingredients including: shortening,
Over time the Chocolate Chip Cookie has marked its place in American history, but most people don’t know that this famous cookie all started with an accident. It occured in the 1930’s at the Toll House Inn and was born by Ruth Wakefield, just using a different type of chocolate. The original recipe eventually got changed in many various ways.

similar to as expansive as flats; truth be told, they are extremely practically identical to townhouses. Units range in size anyplace from studios or singles to two, three and four rooms. For studios, the rooms all the more nearly look like a customary inn room. On the other hand, there are still more facilities, for example, a cooler and kitchen. The bigger units can undoubtedly fit an expansive family, with space for a few youngsters to appreciate the space without feeling cramped.
Standing on the street corner, eyes closed, head tilted skyward, my ears consumed the sounds of the day. Cars whizzing by, dogs barking, wind swirling dried leaves across the sidewalk. A faint greeting, “How’s your mom and ‘dem?” I did not immediately realize it was directed towards me. The second time I heard it, “How’s your mom and ‘dem?”, the volume had been turned up. Peering through the maze of azalea bush branches, I see a weathered old man, straw fedora sitting percariously atop his
Al Capone is one of the most recognized names in American history. Capone ran the City of Chicago with illegal activities. He appeared many times on newspapers all over the country. Every one of us has heard of Al Capone, but most of us don’t k now the story behind him. What made him to be the most feared gangster in the city of Chicago? How did this kid from a rough neighborhood and no money grow up to have $60,000,000? I’ve always been fascinated with organized crime but had never been taught
Wolfgang Nikolaus Pertl. He was the seventh and last child born to musical author, composer and violinist, Leopold Mozart and his wife Anna Maria Pertl. Only Wolfgang and Maria Anna (whose nickname was 'Nannerl') survived infancy. He was born in a house in the Hagenauersches Haus in Salzburg, Austria, on the 27th of January, 1756. Though he did not walk until he was three years old, Mozart displayed musical gifts at an extremely early age. At the age of four, he could reproduce on the piano a melody
Road intersection is exactly 5 miles Northwest of Woodward.) Tolls collected at these locations were xx $ per mile and interestingly many hamlets sprung up around these predecessors to the on-ramp.

they could ask for. Mary Bilyeu states that cake started out as a hardtack bread made only for digestion (para. 7). People with the most money strived in this time period and the poor barely scraped by. Rich people had bakers that worked in their houses, so baking was in their home and accessible to them quickly. Rich of each village would most likely pick a person to bake for the town and for them; these bakers had to maintain a certain protocol and requirements that they had to meet or they would
Introduction Communication is ubiquitous. Through out a normal day one might say hello to a neighbor, use hand gestures to express a message, smile at a stranger, or text a friend about dinner plans. These activities and more may happen on a “normal” day but the analysis of such interactions can prove to be quite complicated. The study of various theories of communication shed light on the reasons why people interact the way the do as well as help prepare a person for future communicative encounters
for nearly thirty hours, we are now approaching Vandalia’s post office in the heart of the capital. The smattering of log cabins that peek through dust clouds rising out of the town’s dirt streets are interspersed with occasional brick and clapboard houses. John Stuart, my mentor and a fellow anti-Jackson legislator, is seated across from me. His unperturbed countenance speaks of his familiarity with the proceedings soon to begin. I, on the other hand, expose my inexperience with a line of perspiration

Gospel Music By 1945, nearly everyone in the African American community had heard gospel music (2). At this time, gospel music was a sacred folk music with origins in field hollers, work songs, slave songs, Baptist lining hymns, and Negro spirituals. These songs that influenced gospel music were adapted and reworked into expressions of praise and thanks of the community. Although the harmonies were similar to those of the blues or hymns in that they shared the same simplicity, the rhythm
The Battle of Paducah For many years "The Battle of Paducah" has been grossly under-stated. There is no mention of the battle in most history books. The latest Kentucky History book has no mention of the battle at all. Without a doubt, Paducah has been overshadowed by the massacre at Fort Pillow on April 12, 1864, some eighteen days later. In fact, if the Battle of Paducah had not turned out the way it did, the Massacre at Fort Pillow may have never taken place. With over thirty-thousand rounds
