Around SBN: Purdue wins Paradise Jam Tournament 73-72

Junk Drawer - 10/20/09 - The Cookie Edition.

 

Everything after the jump

Star-divide

Remember when Lucille Bluth was all stressed out so Michael decided to try and be a good son and asked his Uncle Oscar to, perhaps, give his mother some Afternoon Delight?  But Oscar got confused about what Michael meant and then said that perhaps he could put it in her cookie and Michael became a little disgusted? I don't get why Michael overreacted.

With that in mind, let's talk about afternoon del.....i mean....let's talk about cookies.  I was quite fortunate in my childhood to have homemade cookies all the time.  Not factory dough squeezed out of a can and then shoved in an oven, but actual cookie dough made from staple ingredients and mixed together.  I ate many types of cookies: from chocolate chip to sour cream to chocolate crinkles and several others. 

But now, sadly, homemade cookies are few and far between what with me being lazy and not a good baker and all.  But oh how the memory of a fresh, warm cookie in my mouth takes me to such a joyous place.

Ya. When done right they're great, but I'm picky about chips

I don’t like Nestle’s chips. They’re ok warm out of the oven, but when they cool down they’re too gritty for me and they have a chemical aftertaste. It’s always worth it to use a good quality chocolate. Guittard has a particularly nice flavor and texture.

I just finished off a batch of chocolate chip cookies.

I used a dark bittersweet chocolate, can’t remember the brand, that I broke up into chunks along with pecans. Ummmm. I made them for BuRP’s birthday but he was too sick to eat them. Tomorrow I’m making oatmeal with coconut and dried cranberries to take on a trip to the big ditch. Dried cranberries makes everything better.

It is interesting

I think it could shorten the construction cycle. Why cut into the side of a mountain to make a flat level track, when the track could just be placed on the mountain’s surface, and the vessel could hover along side? The inside of the train car could “float” like a gyroscope inside a tube so it always stays level. Why build a new bridge when you could just mount the track on the side of an existing one?

Chocolate chip FTW!

So here’s the scoop, DTL. Cookies are EASY to make from scratch. But if you’re worried about your baking ability, here’s an easy way to get around that. Get a kids cookbook. Yeah, you can tell the folks at the bookstore it’s for your kids/niece or nephew/brother or sister….whatever, but they are pretty idiot-proof and the recipes usually taste pretty good. Not to imply you’re an idiot, but people who say they can’t cook often feel that way in the kitchen.

Or you can avoid the whole “who you buyin’ that for?” question at Amazon.

I taught a 6 year old how to bake using a kids cookbook….anyone here can do it. And most certainly, cookies made from scratch taste better.

Eggs-actly

Cookies are super easy to make, and it’s hard to go wrong with them. Unless you forget about them and burn them to a crisp, they’ll always taste pretty good. They’re MUCH better when they’re made from scratch. Same for brownies.

I started making cookies when I was 5 or so

My mom can’t cook, but she’s a good baker, and she whenever she wanted a dessert she’d let us make cookies as long as we did it on our own. It was a win/win.

We’d make it from scratch, cuz that was how you did it in those days. Incredibly easy.

What is the next evolution in music?

Will performers no longer release “albums” of 12+ songs? Will they start releasing one or a series of songs at a time? The future digital delivery system seems to open up the possibilities.

If they no longer produce albums, what will come of cover art?

They will mostly try to get people to put them on TV and on a tour and come to their tour

The number of musicians making real money off their CDs or singles (i.e. more than a decent job, or even a minimum wage job) is tiny. So they need to find other ways. A lot will be released for free.

One model I like (though he was already pretty famous) is Trent Reznor of NIN, who released whole recordings as Garage Band or Logic tracks that are of no use to most people but really give him support among his hard core fans. That way people can get the instrumentals of his songs, or just the base line, or do their own remixes. He also pretty much gave albums away for free – or whatever little people wanted to pay for it without recording companies as the middle man – plus special editions that were more expensive like special editions of DVS in box sets.

He did a similar model for one of his proteges, a rapper named Saul Williams. I had never heard of him, but still bought his album, and since then I get informed about what he does, where he tours, etc. He didn’t make a lot of money off me, but without that creative way of distribution and marketing he would have made exactly 0.

I would like to point out that, in my opinion, this so called poll is woefully inadequate

Without the inclusion of oatmeal raisin as an option. You have done a disservice to true cookie lovers as well as showed your bias towards choco-based treats by giving us the option of the oatmeal choco-chip. If you are going to do a poll please next time consider doing one that is more inclusive of people that may have a different life experience than you.

PS an alternate for the oatmeal raisin could be the white chocolate cherry oatmeal, however now that I bring that up, I am feeling a bit the part of a hypocrite, by my blending of the choco/fruit based oatmeal deliciousness! DANGIT!!!!!!

Per the interwebs:
7th Century A.D. – The earliest cookie-style cakes are thought to date back to 7th century Persia A.D. (now Iran), one of the first countries to cultivate sugar (luxurious cakes and pastries in large and small versions were well known in the Persian empire). According to historians, sugar originated either in the lowlands of Bengal or elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Sugar spread to Persia and then to the Eastern Mediterranean. With the Muslim invasion of Spain, then the Crusades and the developing spice trade, the cooking techniques and ingredients of Arabia spread into Northern Europe.

the truth of the above statement matters little. what matters, is a simple equation, we all hold as an inalienable truth, namely, cookies = nuclear ambitions. as a trrrrrue american, i must point out to all of you commie lovers, that i didn’t vote in this poll, just for this reason. voting in this poll, is like, giving the keys to the empire to those commies.

What are your favorite sweets (besides chips and cookies)?

Since someone mentioned white chocolate, I like this especially during the summer as a light chocolate.

And also most stuff that contains nougat and marzipan. On Christmas you can get little marzipan breads or small “potatoes”. Those are awesome.

they cost too much (they have to be a special order) so I don’t waste them on a cast iron. definitely throw them on the barbie for about 30 minutes (watch the internal temperature, don’t want to get food poisoning) and prepare some nice side dishes.

They make excellent leftovers as well.

I asked him what was up, and he said he lost his band aid. Well about ten minutes later he lifted up the last piece, and there it was on the plate under all the lefse. He casually picked it up, and put it on his finger. Luckily he and I were the only ones to see it.

If you're cooking something acidic, like tomatoes,

cast iron will discolor the food, and also it leeches the nice cure from your pan.

We use cast iron too

But the sides are high, so it is tough to flip big pieces. Maybe I need to with get one with low sides, or come up with an offset long bladed spatula.

Yes, I agree

The even temperature, lack of sides and the ridged surface make a big difference. It is way easier to make it thinner when using the grill.

My wife watched that with her mother, sister, and brother in law. Apparently they all thought it was the funniest move ever and they all laughed a lot (also about a month after the dad died).

I have not seen it,

but I heard it was great visually, but there is a lot of filler to make it the full 90 minutes.

I get the paper, so I don't care!

If you have seen the trailer, you have seen the movie

All emotions are in it. And some people liked the first part without the wild things better than the rest. Also the forest looks very bland, which some people probably like and some don’t.

I had a hunch that was the case.

My wife and I felt the same way about that day, but I still decided that I would propose on Valentine’s Day (technically, it was the day after because we stayed up all night on the beach, and I just bided my time and did it on the morning of the 15th) many years ago.

Still not much of a holiday, but at least there is something to smile about.

I got a lot of romance points off of that one for awhile. Even though she was quite dumbfounded that I sat there for the entire night with a ring in my pocket without saying anything. The surprise made it worth it, plus how do you interrupt someone and say ‘Oh yeah, btw…’

I’d love being proposed to myself (well, except for the fact that I’m already married so it would be awkward), but I’m going to wager that many men would be quite intimidated by the idea of a woman doing the proposing… beach or otherwise.

can u imagine me on the beach, breathless as my beau pulls out a ring and gets on one knee "will you marry me" i start crying "what a suprise!"

no , i didnt’ think so.

I doubt i’ll ever get married again , I would say im still sort of dealing w/ the affects of the first time

No, I wouldn't

Of course, i wouldn’t have pictured it of my wife either. Nor either of us having made it (barely) this long.

I couldn’t imagine being remarried ever ever ever. And that’s not devotion. I just don’t believe in the institution of marriage. Actually living it aside, I just don’t think it makes sense.

it’s sort of sick , in a way. but this weekend, there was a decent flick “10th circle” .. i mean decent for lifetime. Or the teen moms movies i can relate to as well.

Like Lifetime, there are some strikingly captivating programs on Oxygen.

My favorite program on Oxygen, Snapped, is gender equality at its finest. For some sexist reason, men get an unfair rap in American society for allegedly being the violent gender. However, if Snapped has proven anything, it’s that a person’s gender and their capacity to commit murder are totally separate from each other. Indeed, both men and women commit vile, depraved acts.

Stupid people have stupid ideas.
