I admit that tonight, the lulz were EPIC and me and my mom provided our VERY OWN!!! A friend of ours lent us these AMAZING Italian cookbooks, and said bring her something when we return the books. So, we opted for a simple biscotti type deal. My gram scale is BUSTED but we have this clever gadget from Greece that we used for measuring. The batter is... batter. Not by any means a thing we can roll into cylinders. We decided the Thing To Do was add more flour, since we followed the damn directions in this DAGONIAN recipe that doesn't even tell you what temp the oven should be!! Anyway. The dough is still not right. I am all for throwing it away, but we have one tin in the oven about to come out. Because the directions say that you are supposed to proof them OVERNIGHT!! And Me, I am iffy about leaving a cookie dough in a proofing oven overnight when there is no real leavening or fermentation happening. The funny part is that my mom could be a pastry chef! But these are COOKIES, right, and she is PASTRY while I am the sauce and meat person. If my grandmother is taking a break from gallivanting through the afterlife, she is laughing her ass off! ~~ I admit I want Aynne's hot cleavage pic back!!! And yay for pressies!! TFTB, I would try plucking the chin hairs, or even the lip ones, if they are sturdy. Lasts lots longer than shaving!
