What do you get when you cross chocolate chips, pistachios, brown sugar and sea salt?  Hit this link.  It about captures the scene 30 minutes ago.

Lori @ Donna & Diablo shared the recipe with me for “Dark Chocolate, Pistachio & Hickory Sea Salt Cookies.”

Lori’s email: “Sounds like you had a tough week Dave.  These will help…but be forewarned, you’ll find it difficult to stop at one.”

Really Lori.  Ya think? My hands were trembling after I cleared one plate of cookies.  I had to pull up and walk away.

Scorecard:

• Estimated Calorie consumption in 8 minutes: 640 cal. consumed.
• This morning’s 50 minute Elliptical work-out: 540 cal. burn. (It’s a bloody losing battle!)
• Cookie Rank: Top 3 lifetime.  (And this is coming from a professional cookie inhaler.)
• Overall experience: Priceless.
