You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, those sound good.

I have to confess, the last time I made flourless pb cookies, I was not into the texture. Also, I have a shitton of flour in the house, from an accidental buy last "holiday season."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I swear, my mom gives me a can every 3rd time I visit

For a while my mom did this with vanilla. Now I'm nearly out of my last bottle and facing buying my own vanilla.

Ah! Well then, there you go! problem solved. Still want the donuts. Also the sweet potato, apple, pancetta hash with a fried egg on top.

I've made these salted chocolate peanut butter cookies once and they were good. Plus you only need ONE egg!

I make the non-chocolate version of those all the time. I keep meaning to dip them in chocolate or drizzle melted chocolate on top, but then I just eat them plain. They are magic cookies. People rave about them when I make them. I wonder if you could make them with Nutella instead of peanut butter.

Too crumbly?

Yeah, and I know I made them too big, but they were also greasy in the middle or something? I kind of forget the details.

I need to buy a donut pan (tin? like muffin tin) because I have a great recipe for GF donuts. OTOH, I need to stop eating so much sugar. But -- donuts!

I also need to buy some damn Silpats, because they're much more eco-friendly than parchment paper.

Ewwww. They shouldn't be greasy, just somewhat solid in the center and crumbly on the edges. I try to roll them into balls smaller than a ping-pong ball; that size seems to bake up best. Plus then they're small enough that I don't feel guilty when I eat multiple cookies.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I need to make some cupcakes tonight. The team's holding a brat fry tomorrow. I've pre-boiled the brats in beer and they're ready for the grill in the morning.

This is definitely one of these things where I know they weren't as good as they should have been due to my mistake, but it still leaves me with the impression I don't love them.

Cash, that sounds yummier than my options. Though I had a steak and mushroom salad that was beyond delish -- we didn't have any dressing so we ate it with salsa.

I don't need to make donuts. I really don't. I still have fig newtons to finish. I think I'm going to add nutella to the fig spread in my newtons.
