Robert Armstrong's favorite food has been his grandma' s cookies ever since he was a child.
    Years later and armed with a business degree,Armstrong,28,is turning his grandma's cookie recipe into a national brand,G.Mommas Southern Style Cookies,featuring chocolate chip pecan(美洲山核桃) and "buddascotch" oatmeal(燕麥片) flavors.
    In February,California-based specialty retailer(零售店),Cost Plus World-Market,with 265 stores in 31 states selling home decor(裝飾),food and drink,started selling the cookies.They will also be in 800 Cracker Barrel stores this fall.
    After graduating from college in 2008 and unable to find a job,Robert Armstrong asked his grandmother,Anice Morris Armstrong,to teach him how to bake,which he thought would take an afternoon.
    "It was harder than college," he said.
    With basic cooking tools and an oven in an abandoned kitchen,he set up his own business,Selma Good,and began producing cookies in an old warehouse.Baking 10 to 12 hours a day,he managed to deliver cookies to 35 stores.His grandmother helped him develop the "buddascotch" recipe before her death,aged 88,last July. "She inspirited me in ways no one else ever could," said Armstrong.
    He reached out via LinkedIn,a website,to a national distributor,who asked for samples.Within a year,he found a commercial bakery in Pennsylvania and a deal to go national with World Market. "Everybody has a grandma recipe,but I was lucky to find people that would take a chance on me," Armstrong said. "They're crunchy,but light,like feathers,and taste extremely good," said Judy McKinny at Mark's Market,one of Armstrong's first retail customers in his hometown of Selma,Alabama.
    World Market is ordering two cases per store each quarter,a huge leap from the 9,000 bags he made himself per quarter.
    His goal is to one day move production back to his native Selma to help its development.Selma has struggled economically since the closure of a candy factory several years ago.

    I know that the library is a wonderful thing but something we really should take advantage of. I go to the library near my home at least twice of a week in the past. However, because of my extreme busy schedule, it has been more than two year since my last library visit. How I miss the days I spent in the library read the books I loved! As you know, there is no friend so faithfully as a good book. I do enjoy the quiet atmosphere in the library, which makes me absorbing in my reading. This is time that I went to the library. If you fond of reading, be a frequent visitor to the library.

        It's been two years when I joined the campus radio station. During this time, I had done several interviews. Every time I finish to writing an article, I am proud of myself for able to introduce my schoolmates to the things I've seen. It was difficult at times, but when I saw my stories publish in our school newspaper, you knew that it was something worth doing. My parents, teachers and schoolmates congratulated me on that I did. I felt happily when I shared a new story with them. The greatest thing about being the reporter is being able to share your thought with others.
