Today I go third, so i'll be studying until then, then i'll do more research on the progressive era.
I should also find a topic for my assigned blog, with the greatest american inventions theme.
The lunch menu is a very serious thing. Not to be taken lightly.
My turn. here we go.....
Can i do the invention of the chocolate chip cookie!!! i know that story already. or hamburger.
ok, mabye im not going next. i got skipped. so maybe i'll start that research.
ok, i checked up on hamburgers and cho.chip cookies. the origin of hamburgers is too wide and varied. cho.cip cookies, though, are totally american. the lady who invented them graduated from some college in massachusettes. so i think i'll go with that.

some sources for Ruth Wakefeild, who bought the Toll House Inn with her husband- she was in charge of cooking and serving meals and desserts.. one day she was out of bakers chocolate, an ingredient used for her most popular cookies. so she substituted with a bar of chocolate given to her by a friend (Andrew Nestle). she broke up the bar and put in in the batter, hoping it would dissipate and spread through the cookie like the bakers chocolate, but it didnt.
