Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Perhaps reduce the either the cooking time or the amount of heat?
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?
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.
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.
I am no help. Sorry.
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.
Oh, this is ridiculous. A student's father just emailed me to let me know that his son is applying to the Naval Academy, and that the Academy might contact me for a recommendation. He's mature enough to join the Navy, but not to write an email himself?
Okay, half the office is out today (people are using up vacation days, I guess), so we are entertaining ourselves with the following Very Important Question:
Which superhero is best suited to be painted on black velvet?
My vote: Thor. ("This medium, it suits me!" t light glints off Mjolnir t and Thor's golden tresses )
