It seems like there are all kinds of candidates for sainthood, at least if The New York Times has its way. From today’s Dining and Wine section:

“TOO bad sainthood is not generally conferred on bakers, for there is one who is a possible candidate for canonization. She fulfills most of the requirements: (1) She’s dead. (2) She demonstrated heroic virtue. (3) Cults have been formed around her work. (4) Her invention is considered by many to be a miracle. The woman: Ruth Graves Wakefield. Her contribution to the world: the chocolate chip cookie.”

The entire delectable store is here. Thanks to Helen McDevitt-Smith for pointing it out.
