I think the mixed-in route worked out better. The chocolate covered cookie pieces did some wonderful things texturally and they tasted great. They also had some of the same dark choc that was used in the ice cream. The flavor of the anchos didn’t add spice and they seriously punched up the intense chocolate flavor of…

Damn, you’ve been doing some stunt stomach work lately! Ooof! Don’t hurt yourself doing these write ups! Bad things can happen. Very bad things.

On that day I learned that chocolate covered choc chip cookies look a bit like turds and I wasn’t up for serving ice cream turd sandwiches! 0.o

My recipe is pretty spready to begin with, so I wasn’t too surprised. They were ‘plain’ in this recipe, but they’re even more spready when I add stuff like malted milk powder, which has been a favorite addition as of late. I should probably try to find the cookie shot glass recipe that inspired this in the future, but…

Yeah, the cooling the entire pan trick might make the big difference, but the dough itself was only barely softened from being taken out of the freezer. I’m sure the dough had warmed up more and obviously the pans were room temp. I make enough chocolate cookies that I might try this again with the help of the whole…

Oh yeah, I’d have a bit of an issue naming ingredients in a typical tube of dough for sure! I thought that one thing I might investigate, if I ever try this again, is using more flour for a stiffer batter and maybe sybann’s cold trick might help. I thought they were pretty cold, as I basically hacked them from the froz…

Really tasty looking recipe, but for whatever reason when I tried something similar in the past my homemade Tollhouse chippers refused to stick to the sides of muffin tins and just pooled in the bottom. Mistakes were made and evidence eaten. I made tiny muffin cookies! 

I am having flashbacks to the infamous Dennis Lee Ranch Dressing Incident!

I am having flashbacks to the infamous Dennis Lee Ranch Dressing Incident!

This is a case study on how to create hideous lines and ugly design. But probably the most egregious visual is the slapped-on looking grill. It almost looks like it was something like the sort of afterthought bolt-on cover-up used by small vehicle manufacturers to avoid stealing a copyright design grill (from Land…

I never finished Doom because I screwed myself while scouring the area for hidden stuff and I walked through a door to a major boss without refilling my ammo, especially for the BGF, and there was no way I was going to kill the boss with limited ammo. Once you went through that door it autosaved for that area and my…

Thanks, but it seemed like that was sort of the direction it was heading anyway, so I just extrapolated a bit from the collision course they were on.

Oh, I’m glad I was wrong about people getting hurt! Was your guy banned from screwing up with any future screwdriver activities?

I am so with you on your choice of RDR1! I also sort of thought that maybe a cowboy sim wasn’t going to make for a good game, but boy was that a bad assumption! And while it just didn’t even compare to RDR1, imo, if you’re anywhere moderately into RDR2's storyline all I can say is that it had a pretty damn good ‘main’ …

Yeah, a two hours final chapter movie/extended episode would be perfect. They could probably still pull it together before the cast scatters to the wind and the public largely forgets about the show/loses interest. It was a decent enough show with enough fans that I think it deserves at least that much closure.

Oh shit, man! That sounded pretty intense! Electricity acts likes it’s angry and it’s often not happy to perform its role working with us delicate, water-filled human skin bags. At least you and a couple of other people were able to figure out that panicking wasn’t going to help anyone. I’m sorry to hear that some…

I was out on a quick ride during the Superbowl, so I got spared from excessive hammering.

Ha! Electric fences are stealthy looking ways to really zip yourself! My friend’s cabin has them because of all the bears around and one thin wire is more than enough to keep them away. I quickly tapped one with a fingertip and that was all I need to know about that.

Yup, screw that noise! 0.o

I absolutely agree on the skill part! Even some of people doing track days often believe they have way more skill than they do, but most of them still know their pecking order skills-wise. A couple of Jalopers obviously have some serious skills here too. But then you see some t-shirt and shorts wearing squid on an RR…

Kind of scary, isn’t it? I’ve always been fairly intimidated by electricity. I get the basics, but I am always pretty damn nervous to mess with even relatively simple stuff like changing out electrical sockets. That fear was deepened by some of the stuff I’ve seen in the past.
