Chips.
The word means different things to different people.
It could mean computer chips to high-tech enthusiasts; poker chips to casino clientele: and of course, chocolate chips to cookie connoiseurs.
On Nov. 17, St. Louis chip lovers in the cookie category will have a sweet opportunity to collect a $100 cash prize for their winning entry in the first chocolate chip cookie bakeoff sponsored by The Times of Skinker DeBaliviere.
The delicious event is guaranteed to give judges and spectator tasters something they can sink their teeth into.
But even with a $5 admission fee for spectator tasters, and $25 for a judiciary position in this edibles event, neither will be expected to bite off more than he/she can chew. Contest participants must present at least three dozen chocolate chip cookies to the judges at the event. (Please note that a chocolate chip cookie is any cookie containing chocolate chips—Toll House is not the only kind.) To assure fairness and objectivity, cookies will be assigned numbers for judging purposes the evening of the bakeoff. Neighborhood residents and participants city-wide are invited to chip in as many entries as they desire. Proceeds from the gastronomical gala will help support the operation costs of The Times of Skinker DeBaliviere.
The bakeoff winner will not only receive a cash prize. His/her picture and winning recipe will appear in the December issue of The Times of Skinker DeBaliviere.
All contest entrants will also receive appropriate prizes. Creative chipsters, this is your opportunity to cut up in the kitchen and stir up some winning results. Take the culinary challenge and cash in on a fun evening that is sure to be in the very best of taste, for a good cause.
