Old Town

This week I will photograph the area in Albuquerque known as 'Old Town.'  
Many tourists visit 'Old Town' for its native arts and local cuisine.

Today is Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!
It all started at a little place you may recognize the name of, the Toll House Inn. Located in Whitman, Massachusetts, it just happens to be the home of that most favorite of cookies, the chocolate chip cookie. Ruth Graves Wakefield had initially planned on making a chocolate cookie and decided to do so by throwing chunks of a chocolate bar into it. In a happy accident, it turned out that the chocolate did not melt and mix with the rest of the cookie but maintained its shape, filling the cookie with delicious little chocolate bits.

Thus was born the chocolate chip cookie and the Toll House Cookie Company! From that day forward, new forms of chocolate chip were added: white chocolate chip, mint chocolate, milk chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, and even dark chocolate!

So, have a cookie and enjoy!
