Puppy Seeds and Rob...

16 years ago

Renee and Rob, I tried to post the recipe for the meringues last Monday, but work had other ideas. Please forgive.

Schoggi S. A Swedish cookie, meaning, "Chocolate S."

The 3-inch "S" is piped from a #1M star tip, onto two, parchment-lined baking sheets.

Sometimes I take the easy way out, and drop them from a medium-size ice cream scoop.

There, I've admitted it. No more secrets am I keeping.

Schoggi S

4 large egg whites, room temperature

Â¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

1Â¼ cups superfine sugar

heaping Â¼ cup sifted, Dutch process cocoa

Â¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Preheat oven to 350Â°F. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the superfine sugar, until the meringue is stiff and glossy. Beat in the vanilla extract (if using). Quickly, but gently, fold in the sifted cocoa.

Immediately put the meringue in a large pastry bag, and pipe the cookies 1Â½-inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake at 350Â°F for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 200Â°F, and continue baking until the cookies easily slide off the baking sheet, about 20 to 30 minutes. The cookies should be crisp on the outside, but with a chewy interior.

These will keep 2 weeks, stored at room temperature, in an airtight container. Yield: 18-20 cookies.

Because I'm trying to set a good example for Thumper, I only allow myself one cookie per day. And yes, it takes all the fun out of middle age. But you guys may have other options.

Alexa, "Puppy Seeds" have been giving me a childish thrill, ever since it first hit this page 5-7 years ago :-D

Xuan, Since I was in the class, I'm going to give you some of the points that I came away with last night. 1. A 'soft light box' is necessary to diffuse the light. You can buy them on e-bay for under 10 bucks, and many come with several different background colors. In a pinch, a large rubbermaid type container can be used, but we did both, and the light diffusion is better with the soft light box. 2. You really need to use a tripod to steady the camera. Just pressing the button will cause it to shake, and the object will probably be blurred, if you try to hold it in your hand. 3. Take multiple shots, and move the light source, move the plant around, don't be afraid to experiment. 4. Now, for the more technical stuff, take it away m3rma1d! Barbara

Nicole,thanks so much for the suggestions! I am having DH pick me up sidewalk chalk today. I am going to use both the chalk and the Sage,double whammy on them! :) I will have to wait until the rain and this flu like thing I have going on passes. But I am really hopeful this will work! The Boric Acid is out,I dont want to hurt anything ,not even the ants really,but my little feathered friends are important to me,and the last thing I want is to hurt or kill them,I would never forgive myself! Thanks again! :) Bonnie,I also thought they were after nectar at first,but looked closer and they were all over where they flower was already gone,that is when I knew that was why I wasn't getting very many seeds,like one or two from the whole plant! Glad this thread gave you the heads up! ;) medo,7 years? Wow, that is some potent stuff! I am hoping I wont have to kill them,I am really confident that something mentioned on this thread will work. Maybe a combo of a few may do the job,we will see and I will make sure I post back here with my results for anyone in the future that runs into this little problem. Thanks for the info!:)

Thanks Sol! That looks like something I'd like to try. And thanks for the reminder to go buy some "puppy" seeds, I've been dying to try lemon poppyseed cookies. Sorry I don't know who, I can't look at my recipe to see to whom credit should be given. You're a peach! So was it Renee who coined that typo? I'd love to know who made up POOP, POOF, and others... but that's another thread entirely.

In re: to your recipes... I really truly love love love your gumbo. Love it. The right flavors, and the roux is awesome, but it is way too spicy for me. I actually figured out (by adding more roux, stock, and meat) that I want it about 1/2 as spicy. I don't even use andouille in the recipe since it's so spicy; I use a mild sausage. And I like hot food! I was thinking last night, "That Sol must be some really hot chick or have asbestos tastebuds to eat her gumbo that hot!". But it sure is tasty.

Well of course Sol is one hot chick! Did you doubt it?

I also liked the "crap cakes" which I think was a typo by Ann T, but I could be wrong, LOL.

As for "poof" and "Poop", I think it might have been Nancy (wizardnm) that is to blame but again, I could be wrong.

Oh, and those cookies look good AND low fat. Good for those of us watching our cholesterol! So thanks, Sol...

Did I doubt she was one hot chick? No way, no how! But then, we have plenty of those around here. You and me included. That's not to say the dudes aren't hot, they are too. Good looking and talented bunch we are.

puppy seeds! A classic!

I think it was Sue (Cookingrv), or maybe Marilyn, that keyed crap cakes instead of crab cakes but I think it was Wendy that coined carp instead of crap.

To this day I type carp for crap......

Sol, only one per day? I couldn't do it....the pic is killing me as I type this.

It was Sue who coined her crab cakes crap cakes way back when.... great recipes for sure.

LOL about the carp/crap thing! I do the same.

Sharon, I always type "carp" too. Weed will be with us forever in the form of "carp". And then there are "balls and nips". (grin)

Yup, we're all hot chicks, in spite of the fact that we aren't teenagers. Older and better, that's us!

I've done the math. There are only 60 calories per cookie if you make 18 cookies, and even better, 54 calories if you make 20 cookies. At that rate, you can have 2 and still not have as many as a candy bar! So feel free to make the 20 cookie set, and sneak an extra cookie per day. You'd still only have 102 calories total.

It's okay Annie and Rob, there's enough of this hot chick to go around. And if I keep eating Gumbo and Meringue Cookies at the rate I've been, there'll be LOTS MORE of me to go around. Hah!

Btw, we may not be 18, but we were...once. And we all survived.

David, I used to think "Crap Cakes" was Ann's typo. One more reason I no longer rely on my memory.

Sharon, another favorite typo was "Foof Processor," but I can't remember who's screw-up that was.

Rob, you dear heart, you went and figured out the nutritional value of these cookies, giving me the green light to indulge. I keel you.

Thanks for the laughs you guys! I'm off to enjoy this sunny weekend. I hope you'll do the same.

Will the puppy seeds grow in zone 5? My Siberians leave lots of crab or carp that would make great fertilizer :-)

Thanks, Sol! I'm looking forward to making -- and eating -- them.

And when I came back, why the heck didn't I think it use puppyseeds as my user names?!? I'm sure that would not have been taken.

Yep, Rob, I confess, it was me. Always was a lousy typist, and half the time I don't see the typos. Heck, I don't see much of anything anymore. LOL! I wonder if I can claim a big screen LCD TV to hook onto the computer as an "adaptability necessity" on taxes? (Just kidding. I'd never do that.)
