There are cookies called spritz cookies, a sugar type cookie generally extruded from a device that makes shapes.
Oh yeah, my mom always made those at Christmas! I just remembered. She called the device a "cookie press."
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
She called them spritzles but I think she made that up.
If she made it up, so did all my elderly german ladies.

Swedish variation on it, I guess. But hers were definitely coconut. Which strikes me odd.

Why is coconut odd?
I do notice that the Brits seem to (noticeably in the baking show, but I've seen others) all about passion fruit, which is something I feel you never see in the US.

Immigrant swedes and coconut in midcentury? My grandma was not normally adventurous with food. She boiled veggies to death. And lutefisk.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Our family spritz cookie recipe features almond extract...and not a whole lot else of note.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have a cookie press. I bought it and then used it once, and it's been sitting on the top shelf of my cupboard ever since.

Congratulations, Zen!
I went for drinks with a coworker tonight and learned that she's planning to leave the org. in a couple of months, probably, which does improve my chances of getting hired permanently...
And now to bed.
