Art Crawl!!!

Perhaps reduce the either the cooking time or the amount of heat?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

now reading that it is all little stuff, but I hate that I try to get ahead of this stuff and he saabotages my preparedness.

I am also just generally pissy today. Annoying co-worker is out and so I am free to vent about her and I am just so annoyed by so many different aspects of her position. They treat her like crap, but she creates that dynamic a lot, but she also takes advantage, no one tracks her time in the office and she works from home willy nilly when that is not allowed for anyone else and is not monitored at all.

Hmm, that wouldn't have occurred to me, but I could give it a shot. The batter itself is a bit crumbly, though, so I was thinking maybe something else wet would help. An egg? That would help bind the batter, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, many cookies have an egg - that sounds like a pretty dry batter.

That all sounds annoying, msbelle! (Having to do something NOW that was your rejected idea a while ago is a pet peeve of mine as well.)

Ugh, I am freaking out about my poor cat, and I'm trying not to think about it at work, but it's not really working. In addition to trying to figure out the Best Thing for Him, I have a lot of logistical problems this month!

I think refrigerating the dough before baking helps with that.

I did refrigerate the dough, actually -- I was thinking maybe that was the problem! Hmm.

Aw, poor Homer. There's never a good time for a pet to get sick, but right around the holidays is even harder. I'm sorry, Jesse.

Punishingly Intricate

Aw, Jesse, I'm sorry. Elderly pet care can be so fraught.

Ah, then maybe don't?

I am no help. Sorry.

Oh, and the last vet we saw is out until Monday. Not that he could really tell me anything, but STILL.

Heh, no worries. I'm very much a baking novice, but I'm starting to see the fun in tweaking recipes rather than just giving up on one when it doesn't come out right.
