In Which Chocolate Upstages an Artichoke

For those who've asked, here's me on our local ABC affiliate's morning show, Good Things Utah, from Wednesday.

This clip has more than the 5 minute segment you'll find on their site. We have bonus material! It includes all the teasers they did throughout and (best of all) the fun at the end of the show when Angel Shannon was at the table to talk about an artichoke but the hostesses were passing around the cookie batter.




And in case you haven't voted yet, yes, I'm pestering again. I have two stories in the running at the Tweet Me a Story contest. You can vote for both (plus other favorites). My group, 13, had to use the word special in a story that consists of only 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.

If you've voted already, THANK YOU!!! If you haven't voted, here's a HANDY LINK!

The clip is just awesome but I bet the cookies are even more so. I'll definitely be making those this weekend.

Already voted yesterday, but I will think positive thoughts for you today.

And oh my goodness! Those cookies!!! (I choose the pecans...)

I see the good work (and success continues!). I need to pick up your book still. My chocolate craving needs variety!
140 character story...crazy. Just crazy. The challenge is good though. I'll check it out!

How fun!

I am so glad I'm not anywhere close to those cookies because I definitely could NOT resist.

you did a great job - and you're right, the little artichoke bit was worth the extra time!!!

almost (only almost) makes me wish I ate chocolate. the kids saw the clip though - so we'll have to make those soon!!!

Those look great! I'm not usually a fan of nuts in my cookies, but the almond ones sound good to me.

I loved the clip! You look like a complete professional baker! Loved it.

Awesome video! I didn't know you wrote cook books too? How wonderful. I voted for your stories! Good luck :)

Fun to finally see the live action Annette! You were like a seasoned pro! I need to get that book--I had no idea it was at Barnes and Noble--I have one just 40 minutes from me--yeah!

Good job Annette! I'm so glad you posted this, I wasn't able to see the actual broadcast.

Now I need to go and make me some cookies.

Cynthia said...

Stink! I am so dog-dang proud of you! Congratulations on all your hard work paying off.

I've had a variety of foods deemed "Rocky Road" but never cookies. I could have seriously reached through the screen to grab one of them. Or all of them.

Interesting note: Angie used to live in my ward.

BTW- I voted. :)

Ahem . . . in what world does chocolate NOT upstage an artichoke?!?

I'm going to vote right now, I promise!

Amazing, totally awesome. I am just getting into writing articles myself, nothing remotely close to your writing potential (ha!) but I'd love for you to take my stuff someday!
