Phil Hugo: Don’t let the chips fall
I’m standing in front of the stove looking at the timer. Half of the 12 minutes are gone, so I turn on the oven light and peer through the glass door to check on the progress of the mounds on the baking sheet that are undergoing a chemical transformation from dough to chocolate chip cookies. They’re lookin’ good Hugo! They will be better still when I pull the pan and the taste and feel of caramelized butter with melted chocolate takes hold of my taste buds. Anticipation!
