With the arrival of autumn, I was prepared to have a fall-inspired dessert recipe for you this week. I even bought apples, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Maybe it was the heat, or maybe I'm just not ready for summer to be over, but I was not feeling the fall flavors. I wanted chocolate chip cookies!
The Christian County Chronicle (Issue #5, September/October) is now available to all Christian County residents. The newsletter is produced by Brenda Porterfield in the County Commission Office. The publication was conceived and developed by Presiding Commissioner Lynn A. Morris, who believes it serves as another effective way to keep citizens informed about county government and community issues.
At the beginning of the summer, I invited about 14 of my co-workers to join me for a weekly Friday lunch. I called it the 2026 Springfield Summer Food Tour. Looking back, I probably should have made matching T-shirts for everyone!
