Baking With Thirdbase, 2007
Bienvenue a Cookie Season!
Time to change my answering machine message to reflect the change in status.
Today has been:
New chocolate cookie recipe. Yum. The plan had been to send them with the boyf when he and a friend went to the lego exhibit thingy in Alexandria today but it winds up it's next weekend. Yum, either way, and chewy when baked on the new $10 (on sale from $25 - score!) Calphalon heavy duty jelly roll pans, and slighty more crispy when baked (for 3 minutes longer) on the Airbake cookie sheets.
Banananana bread. With and without the correct number of eggs. The one without the right number of eggs (I doubled the recipe...with one eggception) seems a bit dry but that appears to be the only difference.
Red marshmallow nellopops. Yes, sugar still burns when it splashes up.
Might bang out a batch of monster cookies before heading out to Annapolis for the first holiday party of the season.
Dilemna: I am almost out of flour already and it does seem silly not to buy the 25lb sack at Sam's Club, since I am going to be using...alot. But I have used all my plastic screw top jars to decant the 25lb bag of sugar and have no where to dump this flour. I do have a rubbermaid tub. D'you suppose if I washed it out well and dried it well I could decant into that? Or get a box of large ziploc bags and go from there? I just want to make sure the flour doesn't sit out once I open the sack.
Solutions?
