I haven't made peanut butter cookies in a very long time, but yes to crosshatch fork marks!
Huh, what was my dinnertime protein? Cream cheese and mozzarella, I guess.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

I haven't made peanut butter cookies in an age. I should do that. Do you put the crosshatch fork marks in yours, Tep?
I do. I am WAY old school. The peanut butter cookies are the easiest thing in the world and are naturally gluten-free. They rule. (Of course, they're about 99% sugar, but hey. Nothing's perfect.)

Because books.
Whoo, cheese! And old school peanut butter cookies!
My grandmother (the sort of crazy one) made great peanut butter cookies, as well as homemade cinnamon applesauce. She also set the table (full place settings) for breakfast the night before, but I let that slide.
Wait, Tep, yours don't have any flour at all?

I wonder how those cookies would come out made with splenda. Hm.
Or I could just eat peanut butter with a spoon. That's pretty satisfying.

Nope -- 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, and (not totally required, but helpful) 1 teaspoon baking powder. Mix it all together, roll into balls, roll balls in extra sugar (not required but...come on), moosh cookie balls with tines of fork, bake for 10 minutes, let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack, let cool for 10 more minutes, then try not to eat them all in 2 days.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You know, you just don't see enough headlines about being stabbed with a samurai sword.
Mostly because I am not allowed to rule the world. If I were? More stabbings. With a variety of swords.

Interesting campaign promise, Cass. I'm not sure I'm gonna back you, but I'm willing to hear more.
Ginger, I hate that ad with the heat of a thousand suns. Every time it comes on and for whatever reason I can't fast forward or otherwise escape, I contemplate exactly why I hate it so much. I have concluded that it's mostly the narrator's voice, or tone of voice, maybe, and a little bit of a callback to my inexplicable hatred for the Gaiman "Make Good Art" speech.

We had a self-defense case where a samurai sword was fatally wielded against an intruder, over on the campus...not that long ago.

Isn't it ganked from Dead Poets' Society? (I mean, I know it's Whitman, but it sounds like Robin Williams, maybe slightly Autotuned.)
