Kat, why doesn't Apple Pan have milkshakes? Too much time to prepare? Because they'd totally complement the rest of their menu.

Freshly squeezed OJ just tastes like sugar to me, but there are few ways I'd rather get my sugar these days. Just polished off another jug--I'd say that counts for more of today's calories than anything else.

I have a decent wooden rolling pin, but when faced with pie wonder if I shouldn't upgrade to colder and harder.

I don't know why, ita. But probably time consuming and space consuming for the blender needs.

Unsurprisingly, I want this Rolling Pin. We'll need one soon, just not yet.

Ooohh...rolling pin question: the ones with handles, the french pin, or the baker's style pin.

Which is best?

ATK likes the french pin, as I recall. What's the difference between that and the baker's pin?

baker's style. handles are annoying.

the bakers pin is not tapered on the ends.

Sox, why are handles annoying?

I've never had a non-handled pin.

I usually use the one with handles--I don't see much of a downside. What's baker's style?

I think the silicone is great, but I think if I were to get a different baking pin I'd be more concerned with something I could keep cold.

We have both - and I thought handled would be easier bc/I'm carpal prone.

But my hands are small, and it turns out it's easier to use the pin to roll, than the handles - I know that sounds strange, but there's more control and less tight grip required. so usually, I roll without the handles... but that's just the way I roll...

DH? he likes handles.

...

ok. that sounds wrong. to both of us.

what? he bakes. Pies.

damn.

what?

I think if I were to get a different baking pin I'd be more concerned with something I could keep cold.

coffee:

there used to be one you could fill w/ water & freeze.

I like being able to keep my hand position constant in relationship to the pin, which is why I prefer the handles.
