Since time is a luxury many people don't have, I suggest baking them ahead of time and pop them in your freezer for when you need (yes need) them. Or if you prefer freshly baked cookies, you can prep the dough into balls, freeze them and bake them whenever you want! Pillsbury be damned!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theshmoopdeck/3207845997/" title="IMG_7046 by poopee shmoopee, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3091/3207845997_e9eaf9f5a9.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_7046" /></a><br />These are the Ginger Snaps. Sorry I didn't take photos of all of them. Next time!<br /><br />These are my absolute favourite chocolate chip cookies:<br /><blockquote>CRISPY COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES<br />from <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Great-Canadian-Cookies-Pamela-Steel/dp/0130311065">Great Canadian Cookies by Pamela Steel</a><br /><br />1 cup (250 ml) soft butter<br />1 1/2 cups (375 ml) brown sugar<br />1 large egg<br />1 tsp (5ml) vanilla<br />1 1/2 cups (375ml) unbleached all-purpose flour<br />2 tsp (10ml) baking powder<br />1/4 tsp (1 ml) baking soda<br />1/4 tsp (1ml) salt<br />1 1/2 (375ml) rolled oats<br />1 cup (250ml) coconut or walnuts<br />1 cup (250ml) chocolate chips<br /><br />* Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.<br />* Beat in egg and vanilla.<br />* In separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.<br />* Stir flour mixture into creamed mixture, a third at a time.<br />* In a food processor, process oats and coconut until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<br />* Fold oat mixture and chocolate chips into dough.<br />* Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes<br />* Preheat oven to 350 °F.<br />* Form dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (If the dough is too dry to work, add a splash of milk)<br />* Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to chill the dough balls until ready to be baked.<br />* Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden.<br />* Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks.<br />* Makes about 3 dozen cookies.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />I made 4 batches of this biscotti recipe over the month of December, experimenting with different amounts of coffee, kinds of nuts and chocolate. This recipe recommends you double bake them, which isn't really necessary. If you like soft biscotti, just bake them once. Double baking them makes them harder, but it also means they won't go stale!<br /><blockquote>CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT BISCOTTI<br />From <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Moosewood-Restaurant-Low-Fat-Favorites-Flavorful/dp/0517884941/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232551459&sr=1-1">Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites by The Moosewood Collective</a><br /><br />2 cups (500ml) unbleached all-purpose flour<br />1/4 cup (50ml) unsweetened cocoa powder<br />1 cup (250ml) granulated sugar<br />1 tsp (5ml) baking powder<br />1/4 tsp (1ml) salt<br />2 whole eggs<br />2 egg whites<br />1 tbsp hot water<br />2 tsp (10ml) instant coffee<br />1/3 cup (75ml) chopped toasted hazelnuts<br /><br />* Preheat oven to 350 °F.<br />* In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder and salt.<br />* Lightly beat the eggs and the egg whites and add to the flour mixure.<br />* Stir in the hot water and coffee granules and hazelnuts, mixing until the wet dough is smooth.<br />* Using a rubber spatula and floured hands, scoop half the dough out of the bowl and onto one side of the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.. Shape it into a 15-inch log.<br />* Make a second log on the other side of the sheet with the remaining dough.<br />* Space the logs about 6-inches apart.<br />* Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top of each log is firm.<br />* Remove them with a long spatula to a wire rack and cool for 10-15 minutes.<br />* Cut each log on a severe diagonal into about 20 1/2-inch-thick slices and place them, cut side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<br />* Reduce oven temperature to 325 °F.<br />* Bake for 20 minutes.<br />* Remove the biscotti and transfer to cooling racks.<br />* Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />Since I was giving these as gifts, I made these ginger snaps a bit smaller and uniformly round by rolling them into balls instead of just dropping them onto the cookie sheet. Even when these cookies get stale (which is rare since they get eaten so fast) they are delicious!<br /><blockquote>GINGER SNAPS<br />From Magnificent Cookies Cookbook by Kathryn L. Ramsay<br />1/2 cup (125ml) soft butter<br />1 cup (250ml) firmly packed brown sugar<br />1 large egg<br />1/4 cup (50ml) light molasses<br />2 cups (500ml) unbleached all-purpose flour<br />1 1/2 tsp (7ml) baking soda<br />2 tsp (10ml) ground ginger<br />1/2 tsp (2ml) ground cinnamon<br />1/4 tsp (1ml) ground cloves<br />1/4 tsp (1ml) ground allspice<br /><br />* Preheat oven to 325 °F.<br />* Electric Mixer Method: Cream butter.

Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Add egg and extracts and beat. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add gradually to creamed mixture and beat until completely mixed. Add grated apple and beat well.<br />* Food Processor Method: With grating blade in place, grate apple. Remove from workbowl and set aside. With metal blade, cream butter and shortening. Add sugars and process until light and fluffy. With processor running, add egg and extracts and process to blend. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add to workbowl one half at a time and process until mixture is completely blended. Add apple and pulse until it is evenly blended into batter.<br />* Drop generous teaspoons onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.<br />* Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to chill the

Anyway, we went to visit the <a href="http://blog.cmoa.org/CI08/">55th Carnegie International</a>, which was ridiculously amazing. We also visited the Andy Warhol Museum, the Mattress Factory and Wood Street Galleries among others. I'm so frigging tired, but completely inspired. OMG that totally rhymes!

Since my last post, not only have I started school, but I also started working 3 part-time jobs on campus.<br /><br />Sigh. I know. Waaaaaah. Poor me, I have 1500 photos from the summer that I haven't gone through yet. Waaaaah. I'm basically working a 57-hour work week and paying for the privilege. Waahh. There's still a hole in my new home studio ceiling after 2 months of emails and phone calls to the builder. WAAAAAAAH!<br /><br />Jeebus. All I can do right now is bitch and moan and it's so frigging boring that I almost fell asleep typing this out. With all the recent politicking and with the economy heading straight for the shitter, the last thing you need is to hear that junk.<br /><br />So, until I get my shit together long enough to post again, please enjoy this little piece of Canadian heaven:<br /><br /><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" height="388" width="464"><param name="movie" value="http://www2.funnyordie.com/public/flash/fodplayer.swf?5320a921"><param name="flashvars" value="key=be30300653"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><embed flashvars="key=be30300653" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" src="http://www2.funnyordie.com/public/flash/fodplayer.swf?5320a921" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="388" width="464"></embed></object><div style="text-align: center;

Though I sometimes get tired of seeing and experiencing things through a lens or filter, rather than using my own eyes. I'm now doing a lot of reading, writing and sifting through a BAjillion pics and vids, which is taking forEVER.

I've taken pills and nose spray but I still have a headache and my eyes are seriously light sensitive. As much as I'd love to be down by the beach RIGHT NOW, with the amount of pollen, the wind and high humidity it's best I stay inside. Le sigh.<br /><br />We took Oscar and Luna (our 14-year old cat) to the vet this morning. Oscar was happy until we got him up on the table. He took his shots like a real trooper. Luna on the other hand started growling loudly as soon as I opened the door to her carrier. Everyone in the waiting room heard her spitting and screaming at the vet and me. He had wanted to clip her nails, but she was so pissed off he couldn't. Actually she hasn't let us clip them since we got the dog - 5 YEARS AGO! He told me the only was would be to sedate her - which would cost me $250. Yeah, like that's going to happen.</p>poopee shmoopeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03620554511214602853noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361897.post-13404745430413222302008-05-30T13:47:00.005-04:002008-11-18T01:09:13.944-05:00Last night I ate the largest boneless chicken roti I have ever seenSeriously.

I know for the last while I've been a bit of a blogbot, however, dear internet, it's about all I've had to give, of late. I just got a new part-time job, working on campus and have applied for a couple more which will start in the Fall. I've started a couple of new paintings, and am still getting used to our new home.<br /><br />I also just started a Intro to Communication Studies: Media Messages and the Cultural Landscape. The prof is <a href="http://apache.ocad.ca/faculty_biographies/art_faculty_bio.php?bio_id=155&faculty=Liberal%20Studies">David McIntosh</a> and I really like him. He's upfront, interesting and engages us in the discussion instead of lecturing (well it helps there are only 20 people in the class). The only homework I have, besides exams, is to write a weekly entry about my experience with media (any method of communicating messages) in relation to whatever issues we explore in the previous class.<br /><br />So guess what guys... pretentious art school writings = easy, blogtastic must reads! HAHA suckers! Ahem.<br /><br />I also have a list of things I've been thinking about sharing with you all, my steadfastly loyal 20 readers, here at the blog. Where should I start?<br /><ul><li>cute pictures and/or videos of my pets</li><li>written school assignments</li><li>old notes my friends and I passed to one another in high school</li><li>my old teen angst-filled journals</li><li>slideshows/videos of my process in art making</li><li>more links!</li></ul>poopee shmoopeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03620554511214602853noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361897.post-18771751091748728472008-05-11T10:18:00.002-04:002008-05-11T10:20:54.479-04:00me wantee<p></p><div><p><a href="http://2modern.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/10/staple_removers.jpg"><img class="image-full" alt="Staple_removers" title="Staple_removers" src="http://2modern.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/10/staple_removers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></p><br /><p><a href="http://2modern.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/10/staple_removers2.jpg"><img class="image-full" alt="Staple_removers2" title="Staple_removers2" src="http://2modern.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/10/staple_removers2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></p><br /></div><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/2modernDesignTalk/%7E3/287544321/animal-attracti.html">View Original Article</a></p><div class="flockcredit" style="text-align: right; color: #CCC; font-size: x-small;">Blogged with the <a href="http://www.flock.com/blogged-with-flock" style="color: #999; font-weight: bold;" target="_new" title="Flock Browser">Flock Browser</a></div>poopee shmoopeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03620554511214602853noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361897.post-88639801085109611372008-05-09T18:48:00.001-04:002008-05-09T18:48:56.740-04:00BBQ Sword Makes You the Swashbuckler of Sausages<p></p><div><p><img style="width: 343px; height: 243px;" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/05/bbq-sword.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" /></p><br /></div><p><a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/%7Er/gizmodo/full/%7E3/286461539/bbq-sword-makes-you-the-swashbuckler-of-sausages">View Original Article</a></p><div class="flockcredit" style="text-align: right; color: #CCC; font-size: x-small;">Blogged with the <a href="http://www.flock.com/blogged-with-flock" style="color: #999; font-weight: bold;" target="_new" title="Flock Browser">Flock Browser</a></div>poopee shmoopeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03620554511214602853noreply@blogger.com0
