Forgive me, but I’m just so happy that a childhood favorite of mine is coming back into popularity.  The whoopie pie, a chocolate (or pumpkin!) set of soft cookies with frosting in the center, purportedly from Pennsylvania, the Amish, and/or from Maine  —  is quickly coming into our culture again.

I must be careful, though, these were an addiction for me in the past.  Happily, God has removed my compulsions with food, for today and everyday, so I don’t have to have a lot of them.  I had one (and only one) about 3 weeks ago, and that was enough.

Check out this interesting article about them in the New York Times by Micheline Maynard by clicking here.

Recipes for Whoopie Pies, anyone?  Please post!  And/or share your thoughts of the whoopieness of the whoopie pies, please!
