When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, I prefer a chewy texture and balanced sweetness. The chocolate chip cookies my mom made will always reign supreme in my mind. A growing number of bakeries are offering their own takes on the classic chocolate chip cookie. I decided to visit both chains to see how their hero chocolate chip cookies stacked up. The Insomnia chocolate chip cookie was smaller and thinner than the Crumbl cookie, and much flatter.

☆ 'The tablet is staring into my soul': Workers, customers and etiquette experts debate tipping at the counter

"It's just going to ask you a few questions," you're told. "I just feel like the tablet is staring into my soul," he says. "And I feel so bad because there's a line of people behind me, and I'm like, f---, I don't do this." The thinking here is that over-the-counter workers earn a wage, and therefore rely less on tips than servers or delivery people. And on top of that, you're being asked, every time you turn around, 'How much would you like to tip?'"

Pairing a steel resolve with his fabled metal hip, the 36-year-old was allowing British tennis fans to dream. Middle-aged men in well-tailored suits jumped to their feet, revealing flamboyant cufflinks as they pumped their fists to celebrate winning shots. Women clapped hands above their heads, beseeching Murray -- the man who, a decade ago, had ended the 77-year wait for a British Wimbledon champion -- to finish off his youthful rival and write another chapter. Disappointment drenched the arena, tempered with admiration for the Scottish warrior who has done so much for British tennis. When asked how confident he was that he would be competing at Wimbledon next year, Murray said: "I don't know.

Susannah Ireland/Pool via REUTERSLONDON, April 29 (Reuters) - The Stone of Scone, the coronation stone upon which monarchs in Britain have been crowned for centuries, reached London on Saturday after a journey from Scotland in a special carrier made from Scottish oak, ahead of King Charles' coronation next week. Westminster Abbey held a service on Saturday evening to mark its arrival there, the church said in a statement. "(The stone) now comes again to this place by command of King Charles III as an act of unity and a symbol of friendship," Joseph Morrow, the heraldic authority for Scotland, said at the service. However, it was officially moved to Scotland on a permanent basis in 1996 and will return there after Charles' coronation.

REUTERS/Russell Cheyne/PoolLONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - The historic Stone of Scone, the ancient coronation stone upon which monarchs in Britain have been crowned for centuries, has left Scotland for London under tight security ahead of next week's coronation of King Charles III, officials said on Friday. England's King Edward I seized the stone from the Scots in 1296, and it was incorporated into the Coronation Chair he ordered in 1308 for London's Westminster Abbey. That chair has since been used in the coronation ceremonies of English and British monarchs since Henry IV in 1399. However, it was officially moved to Scotland on a permanent basis in 1996 and will return there after Charles' coronation.

Charles will follow some of his famous forebears, such as King Henry VIII, Queen Victoria and his own mother Elizabeth II, in being crowned on the chair. It has featured in coronation ceremonies since 1308, and has been the chair used to crown monarchs since Henry IV in 1399, the Abbey says. "The coronation chair is extremely fragile. It has a complex layer structure which means that the gilding layers on it often flake off," Blessley said.

CNN —If British food has come in for a bit of mockery over the years, it isn’t because the recipes are wrong. Eating British food is not just eating. Like 95% of all British cuisine, it is comprised entirely of eggs, flour, milk and fat. By the age of 16, the average British child will have eaten this dish 4,160 times. Layer one pudding on top of another pudding on top of another and cover it all with whipped cream.
