Comments (13)Thanks all y'all! Does this site still have some kinks in it? I know for sure I responded last night.....strange. It could have been me too. Just bought a new laptop and haven't had much time to play with it and add ad blocker yet. Several post I've opened the text run into the ads on the right. What a pia. Maggie,I had never heard of smoked bologna until we moved south. Thinking it's a Oklahoma/Texas thing as most bbq joints serve it down here. Thanks Annie! Between the dinner/buffet, his favorite band playing for free and donations they raised a good sum of money for his wife and kids. Ci lantro, those Brach's Stars have been hard to find forever it seems. I was glad to find the dark ones but I guess they are becoming a thing of the past. Popcorn in the soup, oh yeah, I/we have done that more than once. Allye is a hoot and she will talk your ear off for sure. Thankfully she is potty trained now too. Not a fan of changing "muddy diapers" here...although I've done it many times over the years even though I don't have kids. LOL! Good to be back friends!

Comments (54)My mother (with a family of 7, plus friends, grandparents, aunt...) used to bake scads of cookies for Christmas. We were spoiled for choice! Almond crescents, pecan balls, mini pecan tarts, date pinwheels, hermits, jam thumbprints, cut out sugar (with a touch of nutmeg), a cream cheese pastry dough filled with various fruits or nuts (can't remember the name). Sometimes she would make fudge. I am sure that I've forgotten a couple. Over the years I've made all of these, usually just 2 or 3 in small quantity (almost always including hermits) but as the DD grew up and I became prone to gaining too much weight in November and December, I am down to making just one small batch. This year it is gingerbread....See MoreCan a cookie be an elegant dessert? ie, Nigella's Forgotten Cookies
Comments (25)Reporting back! Everything went off without a hitch. Except for the cookies lol. The night-before-prepped salmon is an amazing recipe. Recipe universally requested. The salad is delicious, and so pretty plated with the salmon—pistachios across both. The Cookies. Piled high on a pedestal. Gorgeous. Martini glass filled with berries and piped almond whipped cream set on a pretty dessert plate, cookie on side of plate. Delicious. But they baked up a bit crispier than the test batch (weather?) and crumbled when bitten into. Also, in my exuberance I sprinkled more chocolate on the top than on the test batch, and it was coming off on our hands. Luckily I had employed my trick of tucking a real-feel paper napkin inside my cloth napkins, rolling them together into the napkin ring. All around me I saw linen trousers and white dresses, chocolatey hands, and thankfully chocolate laden paper napkins carefully resting on top of the barrier cloth napkins, keeping the chocolate off the pretty outfits. Still, everyone ate their entire cookie, right down to the crumbs. We all eyed the pedestal. We all thought about it. I ate a few more after everyone left. Not sure I'd serve them again like this. They were amazing in the test Modified Eton Mess. I would go that route next time. @mtnrdredux_gw, they taste more pistachio than cardamom. It's a simple recipe so I think it's worth trying. They'll be a staple for me, but I'll only sprinkle pistachios on top, no chocolate. As a recipe note, I used half the amount of chocolate called for, and instead of chips I grated a 60% dark chocolate bar. I used a heavy hand when measuring the pistachio. I whipped the cream early in the morning, filled a disposable piping bag and stood it in a glass in the fridge. Right before serving I snipped the bag, put the tip on, and no muss, easy peasy filled the martini glasses. Thanks for playing along everyone! Wish I could send you all a care package of Forgotten Cookies!...See More- 8 years agolast modified: 8 years ago
