TCN Mornings Episode 249 - Monday, October 18, 2021

Hey kids, welcome into your Monday, the 18th day of October. Today is National Chocolate Cupcake Day! Yep, National Chocolate Cupcake Day. Now, first of all, while I think this is GREAT, I wonder if the National Cupcake Day thing is just a little over done. For example, there actually IS a National Cupcake Day... It’s on November 15th. AND, there’s a National Vanilla Cupcake Day on November 10th, not to mention National Chocolate Day on October 28th. But it is what it is, I guess, and TODAY, we celebrate National CHOCOLATE Cupcake Day. So, if you’re gonna do it, you might as well do it right! Do you remember last Friday when Krista from Glen Rose Texas gave us the recipe for Chocolate Chip Pudding Cake? Well WE did some baking here at the Lord household, AND a little experimenting, and THAT cake recipe makes AMAZING cupcakes, too!! So, try it for yourself! Go back into Archives at TCNmornings.com, and just look for Friday’s episode wherever you get your podcasts and get recipe!

Well, speaking of cupcake recipes... the story coming up is about just that... It’s called ... wait, what? ..... OH...okay, okay. It isn’t about making cupcakes, it’s about making cookies! Yeah. Well, anyway, it was ALMOST a perfect segue, and I think it’s a pretty good story, too. It’s called I Can’t Go, and it starts right now.

I Can’t Go.

So, have you ever had to turn friends down because your parents wouldn’t let you go somewhere with them? How did that make you feel? Also, why do you think Anna’s parents didn’t want her to go to some of these places? And finally, why do you think the girl called the cookies “HERO cookies?” Just some things to think about on this Monday morning.

Well, coming up just around the corner, another quote from My Old Irish Pappy, The question of the Day, and A Reflection of Your Future...it’s all straight ahead on this Monday edition of TCN Mornings.

But right now, this: If you’ve been with us a while, you’ve undoubtedly been hearing me talk about listening every weekday morning to TCN Mornings, and that you can simply go to TCNmornings.com and play each daily episode from there OR...
