A rice cooker nothing but an electric pan - useless. You'll still

My cookie sheets don't have lips. They do have an angled, raised edge on one
side. If you put them upside down, they won't sit flat.

Mine are never crumbly. I did make snowballs this Christmas but some without
nuts. One of those without nuts did crumble. The ones with nuts did not.
Snowballs are a form of shortbread.

Care to share a site? And maybe your recipe? I know there are many. Mine
generally have mainly flour and butter. A little sugar. I have made them
with whole wheat flour, oats, various flavorings., Etc.
 
When I worked at K Mart, I made cookies for Christmas. I started early
because I generally had a total of 7, brown paper grocery bags full. Some
were given as individual gifts, but I always put out two trays in the
employee lounge and refilled them throughout the day.
 
The shortbread were often drizzled with chocolate and sprinkles. I tasted
them when fresh, and also several weeks later off the tray in the lounge.
Both tasted the same.
 
What does need to mellow are fruitcake and fondant. Both of those improve
with age.

I'll post my grandmother's Scottish Shortbread recipe:
 
3/4 lb. butter
1 cup sugar
4 cups (1 lb.) all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
 
Cream butter and sugar. Mix and sift together flour & salt. Stir into
butter and sugar mixture. Roll to 3/4 inch thickeness in a glass baking
pan. Prick with a fork a number of times. Bake at 275F until light
brown, about one hour. No mention of "aging" shortbread.
 
I have a note on this recipe that says Grandma pressed the dough into a
4x11" glass baking pan and smoothed the dough by rolling a drinking
glass over it before pricking the dough with a fork. The other note I
have says "can be rolled thick and cut into cookies, in which case bake
at 350F for 15 minutes." No mention at all about Leona's upside down
baking sheet.

When I just read "Maple syrup" I went down to make some waffles with
maple syrup but decided to make a caramel waffles instead. Cream,
brown sugar, pat of butter, boil for 7 minutes, splash of vanilla -
Done! It took 12 minutes.

Split red and yellow lentils. That is what I bought before. They are not the
same as regular lentils and you do have to soak them. I wonder if there is
some other kind of split pea that requires soaking? Strange how some things
have the same name but are totally different.

I have made some similar in the past. I'm sure Dola and Justin will like
these. But... I have never soaked split peas. Never found the need to.
 
I did buy some clearance boxes of something labeled as Dal/lentils a year
ago or so. I was going to make them then realized that they required several
hours of soaking. I couldn't tell you what they were. They appeared to be
split peas but were an orangish color. I eventually made them when I had
more time but they were rather flavorless even when made as directed on the
box.

I cooked last night for today. Black eyed peas (dried) with bacon, a little
olive oil, tomatoes, onions, bell pepper (all chopped), chicken broth,
salt, pepper and Jalapeno sauce to taste. It was a new to me recipe. I used
8 cups of liquid as other reviewers said to do because far too much liquid
as written. I did change up the original recipe a bit. Nothing wrong with
the end result but it was soupier than I wanted. I removed the solids,
reduced the broth a bit, and perfect. Can be put over the rice, but I will
likely not have rice. Also made cornmeal muffins with added corn kernels and
cheddar cheese. Used applesauce instead of egg.
 
Justin and I both love all of it! Did not make dessert as we still have some
cream cheese, cherry, pecan pie.

heh, no, i've never been much to play around to begin
with and those i've been serious with the most have
either been surgically sterile or on BC and i'd know
if they'd lied. let's just say i've seen too many
young kids pregnant and i sure didn't want any part of
that.

i have had to be more notably male on usenet over the years
because of the number of people who assumed i was female.
 
i'm sure a lot of it is that i don't particularly care much
for male stereotypical things (drinking, guns, team sports,
cars, hunting) and i also mostly write without considering
including the obvious references to gender roles or actions
which would mark me as male. i do consider myself fairly
gender neutral in how i think and feel and i do tend to get
along a lot better with women than men (thanks Dad! :) ).
 
and of course, that i know how to cook, clean, garden,
put up food, sew, do laundry, etc. i was raised to be able
to take care of myself (thanks Mom! :) ).
 
i'm not Native American to any large degree that i know of,
but we're not sure about Grandma on Mom's side - still i
doubt it is any significant portion. trace perhaps.
 
as for the rest of Sheldon's odd remarks, i've learned to
ignore whatever isn't worth commenting upon.

usually people who use those sorts of phrases strike me
as ultra-conservative and often are bigots/racists/sexists
and paranoid if you talk to them for long they'll start
talking about conspiracy theories about all sorts of things
and you want to back away.
 
unfortunately my father is one of them. :(

Are you too dense to see the logic that if you are older you are
automatically closer to death? Do you have a problem with that? I
don't, it's the only certain thing in life.

I cooked a pork shoulder last night on the rotisserie. I made some mushroom
gravy and made a plate for my wife to take to work. For her, I cooked the
pork in the gravy a little.
