The Second Chocolate Chip Cookie “Cook-Off’ held on February 13 for the benefit of The Times of Skinker Debaliviere was a success in a number of ways.
The fund raiser made almost $1000 for The Times, which will certainly make our typesetter happy.
In addition, approximately 50 partygoers got to taste a number of excellent recipes and to visit, not only with one another, but with Guy Phillips and Heather Frampton of radio station KYKY 98-FM. Phillips and Frampton were honorary judges.
As such, they did their judging earlier than the other judges and were subjected to being watched as they stuffed their faces, made clever comments, and incidentally, made a serious selection of their choice for best cookie.
Meanwhile the other judges dutifully went off to make their selections in private. Marvin Nodiff (winner of the first cookie contest), Sandy Rothschild, Fred Faust, Sue and Jim Gamble, Rick Lake, Jim Geer, and Tom Hoerr were judges.
They had paid $25 for the privilege of tasting as many cookies as was necessary to make a valid decision.
Two first-place prizes of $50 each were awarded.
In the chocolate chip category Paul Kurtz received first prize, followed by Paula Repetto and Hitch Powell.
In the non-chocolate category Dee Hayes was the top choice followed by Nancy Farmer and Marcia Kerz. Paul’s recipe is featured in the Macho Menu elsewhere in this issue. Commemorative ceramic mugs were also sold at the party and were presented to the honorary judges and to the second place winners. Mugs, at the low price of $5, are still available to anyone who missed the party.

A special thanks to Sue and Sandy Rothschild who made their home at 6208 Washington available for the party and provided tours of the new house they are building next door to anyone who would hazard the boardwalks and step over the extension cords stretched to lamps which Sandy had rigged up throughout the house. Marcia Kerz and Sue Rothschild deserve special credit for organizing the party.
