One of the best Memories I Have of Aunt Helen and her wonderful Family and my Cousins, was just before Christmas around the middle & early 60s. I rode my bicycle over to their wonderful home on South 18th and got my first taste of Toll House cookies and of course the batter. Now every Christmas time I remember that wonderful Christmas memory & taste. I see aunt Helen in that kitchen making those wonderful treats. Honest that is one of my most wonderful Christmas memories I have and recon I...
