The recipe (for children) said to turn the cookie sheet upside down first, because, it said, it would be "easier" to get the shortbread off that way, after baking. I don't know why it said that. I didn't need a spatula and I probably didn't even need to use the fork. (Maybe there was a little more butter in the batter than I realized?) At any rate, any recipe that calls for a cookie sheet generally doesn't result in a struggle! What gives? I think maybe the reason for this is in case the cookies are a bit crumbly. If the sheet is upside down, you can sort of "slide" the cookies off without having to bend them slightly, which you might do with a spatula if you were trying to get the cookies over the lip of the cookie sheet. I hope that wasn't too convoluted an explanation. Doris |
| US Janet <jan6noplace.com>: Jan 01 10:22AM -0700 Hi All. Besst wishes to all for the coming year! I'm still strugging with pulling specific data from a cloned hard drive. The aps on my old computer were old enough (although continually updated) that the new aps I have downloaded don't really work well together. My financial software is giving me fits. So today I am just going to start new (1/1/2021) on my new computer. I've finally taken the time to install so I can read rec.food.cooking. Like everything else I needed my password for the entities that allow me to access newsgroups. Then I had to get a special code from the source to allow me to proceed with a download. Anyway, I am back with you on my old computer. I don't know about what will happen with my new computer. I want to start clean there so don't want to sync. Janet US |

I know what a pain in the butt it can be too set up a new computer, especially when you have to find old passwords. I replaced my laptop last month and it took a few days to get things up and running properly. I am glad that I didn't wait until an old one died. |

It is a matter of spectacle for some people, and they want to chow down on their meat as soon is it comes off the heat. I prefer to let mine rest for a while. |

That's true. There is always something worse. A few years back I was listening to a radio show about miscarriages and one woman who called in had had one and a friend commented that she was lucky that she already had a couple children. The woman was really upset about that and said that a person could not say anything worse to a woman who had just lost a baby by miscarriage. Well, I have to admit that my mind often jumps at the opportunity to consider all the possibilities. Luckily, the filter sometimes works, but I can tell you that I immediately considered dozens of things that would have been so much more offensive to someone who was so sensitive that she took that well meaning remark so badly. |
