Pickles to Pittsburgh

Life imitated art today at our house, as Dorothy and I recreated a treat from one of her recent favorite books. Pickles to Pittsburgh, the sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (no, we haven't seen the movie), features an enormous chocolate chip cookie at the end of the fantasy and the reality portions of the story. Dorothy has never encountered a pizza-sized cookie before, so today we baked one for fun. I'm not sure she was impressed that our cooking endeavor had a literary tie-in, even though we've read the book a zillion times at her request in the last week, but she certainly was all in favor of the biggest chocolate chip cookie she'd ever seen.
