The recipe calls for 2 eggs. I've made them with one egg and they were okay, but they're really best with no eggs at all. The butter and sugar carmelize in this wonderful crunchy way.

I will have to try that. Sounds excellent.

In other news, I'm slightly drunk, and have a new pink razr.

How related are those two things?

Oh, I'm not so sick now. Just was. And have had a few leftover episodes. Sigh

BUT! I talked to my brother. And got to talk to my very-not-going-to-bed-nephew. I'm Aunt Saya now. I used to be Aunt Saar. So funny. They are going to the space center in Huntsville tomorrow. D is SO EXCITED BECAUSE ASTRONAUTS when he isn't planning on being a dinosaur (RAAAWWWR) when he grows up.

Three year olds are fun. As much as I dread the rest, can't wait to see him. I also now know to buy him a watch. And something to get SIL (Charmed.)

Maybe if I can kidnap the nephew (don't tell my SIL) I'll have a good time.

Jen, that's awesome. Savor it.

Jesse did drunk buying! Now she can drunk dial!

I'm gonna have to try no-egg chocolate chip cookies. My grandmother made the thinnest, most melt in you mouth, lovely brown cc cookies. And insisted she followed the nestle recipe. I haven't had cookies like she made since she died, over 11 years ago now. Haven't had her letter cookies either, but that recipe is lost now. Sadly. They were like shortbread, but not, pushed through a pastry tube into various letters. She always made an equal number of Js and Ss, so me and brother didn't fight. One of her few concessions to equality between us.

dana, did I ever ask you about mail?

I don't know, but your package arrived right around Thanksgiving. I haven't had a chance to try any of them yet, but they look delicious. Thanks again! That was so generous of you.

I have to admit, though, I really love the Grinch best.

Oh, I do too. I always have to watch the part where his heart grows three sizes.

Oz woukd lujr to help me post.

The Nestle recipe is what I use (although I use whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour). It was a friend who suggested that I leave the eggs out if I like them crunchy. I forgot to leave the eggs out this time because I was in a rush, kinda brain-dead and I haven't crossed the eggs out of the original Nestle recipe.

Oz being a little affectionate? (which pattern is he?)

MK undid a post earlier. OH, 'nother appropriate gift, if I can find it. Original grinch dvd and a grinch. How my family will mock.

You are so welcome. I can't use them so I am glad they are with someone who will.

the part where his heart grows three sizes.

I just talked about that part to my brother today. He can be fairly grinchy, but is going out to get a tree this weekend (SHOCKED!) and is actually getting festive.

I think I'd like your brother, msbelle. For the Grinch, not the tree. That part is FREAKY.

(although I use whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour).

Dead to me. Suffered YEARS AND YEARS of whole wheat flour cookies. Then my brother came along. Suddenly, there were normal cookies. I was bent.
