Houston... I've killed the cookies.
Posted Thursday June 3 2004, 5:26 pm
Perhaps I'm just the stupidest person in the world, but I have this difficulty in making cookies.Normally it's that I add too much of one ingridient, or too little of another, or that I set the oven to the wrong time. My whole family is mad, because we were having a party, and Mom told me to make cookies, except they were quite horrible, and one guest threw-up. Is there anything I can do to fix this problematic situation!

How to make Orc Cookies?
Posted Sunday December 14 2003, 10:16 pm
Hello guys,
I'm in the habit of baking sugar cookies for most major holidays, and this Yuletide, I was given the suggestion that, for the benefit of all my geeky gamer friends, I make D&D shaped cookies. This instantly sparked my interest. I'm already thinking about elfcookies with sparkly tunics, unicorn cookies with white frosting, pretzel sticks with a doubleheaded axe... but my friend wants Orc cookies. Typical. How am i supposed to make an Orc with a gingerbread man shaped cutter? I can figure out how to make an orc shape and trace around each one, but here are my problems:
1.How can I make brown or dark frosting that isn't molasses (too sticky) and will stay put, or dry hard so I can stack the cookies without...

Is it safe to use any old salmon steak from a reputable market in my sushi, or should I stick to the stuff from the Japanese market?

Treetop scones
Posted Tuesday November 25 2003, 11:28 pm
I had a recipe for nice, golden "Treetop scones"... no currants, no sugar powdering, just crumbly scone-y goodness.
And then I lost the recipe.
Anyone heard of these delicacies? Do you have the recipe or know where I can get it?

Rising Bread Dough
Posted Tuesday October 28 2003, 6:25 pm
I'm making "Day of the Dead Bread" for Spanish class, and it's due tomorrow. I was just wondering, is it ok to let the bread rise for more than the allotted time (it says about 1 -1/2 hours)? My mom and my aunt think it's ok if you go a little over, as long as you don't go under the rising time. Just wanting to know, as it's handy information.

organic foods... what gives?
Posted Monday October 27 2003, 11:30 pm
What's the big deal about organic foods? Are they really better for you, or do people just feel better about buying them? And what on earth makes a food like rice organic? The rice was talked to nicely and allowed to roam freely throughout its life? help me out, I don't get it.

opening minds to not eating meat
Posted Friday October 24 2003, 7:16 pm
I'm not a full-on vegetarian, but I try not to eat a whole lot of meat. Frankly I just don't think it's healthy, and I don't like depending on it. The problem is that everyone around me... my family, my boyfriend, etc. is of the opinion that unless you're poor or sick, you must consume meat at every meal or it's just not a meal. When I offer to cook black bean casserole or vegi pizzas, they're just like, "that's great... and what else?"
How do I get them out of this mindset that vegetables aren't "real food"?

the baking reputation
Posted Thursday October 23 2003, 7:39 pm
I'm a girl, and I kinda like to bake stuff, because hey, it means I get desert. My question is this: I work with all guys. If I bake cookies or something and bring them into work, are the guys going to stop feeling like I'm "one of them" and start seeing me as this betty crocker homemaker type? We're all pretty laid back now, on the same level and everything, I don't want it to get weird.

searching for classy cheese
Posted Monday October 20 2003, 7:51 pm
I want to have a party and I want to serve cheese, but I don't think plain old cheddar is very classy or interesting. What are some other good cheeses I can serve just cut up as cubes, that people might not have tried before but will still like?

Pie Crust Recipe Needed!
Posted Thursday October 16 2003, 7:54 pm
I make one heck of a quiche. Except while living with my grandmother, I never made the crust (she would pre-make tons of dough for pie crust ahead of time, and I would just take some of that).
Now I want to make a quiche, but don't know how to make the crust. Yes, I asked Grandma, but she doesn't measure anything, and starting getting really confused when giving me specifics.
Does anyone have a good recipe for pie crust. You know, the nice, flaky, golden type?

Pie
Posted Monday October 6 2003, 11:46 pm
I was asked to bring a "nice traditional pie" to a family dinner. A few months ago I brought key lime, and people didn't think it was "traditional" enough. What gives? I mean, seriously?
So what's a traditional pie? Should I even bother conforming, or just bring whatever I want?
