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.
It's a real burden being right so often.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How related are those two things?
Not at all related, except for the fact that I was generally feeling like, "To hell with everything!" So I went and got the (AWESOME) phone, and then met friends for drinks and whatnot.
Am getting better, after application of food and drink at home.

Hah! sarameg, when my bro and I were growning , we got all kinds of healthy shit. We ate granola and yogurt back when people still looked at you funny. Then my sister came along and suddenly sugar cereal and stuff were allowed in the house. I think by that point my dad was doing most of the shopping, and she had him around her finger from day one.
