Since everyone else seems to be baking things, I kind of tried to make cookies. They didn't come out right. This is completely unrelated, but there's a burnt cookie cutter and a broken mixing bowl in the garbage in the kitchen. I don't know how they got there. I had nothing to do with it.

Does anyone want a couple of charcoal bricks? They make great weapons, but they don't make very good cookies. If no one wants them, I'm going to make them into Faxman's Secret Baking Power.

One of the first things to keep in mind is, if the dough is breaking your utensils before you've even cooked it, don't bother. ;)

Seriously, 'tis easier if you do it with someone at first. Recipes are easier to follow if you've seen what they're talking about before.

Yeah, that's how I learned, helping Mom (and Dad, with the grill stuff.)

Ooh, hey, you should show him your oatmeal cookie recipe. Oatmeal cookies aren't that tricky and they taste really good.

And if you're in a hurry, you can eat them for breakfast without feeling very guilty. ;)

(Actually they're probably a healthier breakfast than some of the cold cereals I've seen here!)

Oatmeal is good on its own... at least when 'tisn't stale... but you've seen how much honey I'll put in given the chance. There may be less sugar in the biscuits....

*grin* Sometimes I think you should've been a were-Pooh.

'Course, I'm hardly one to talk.

Maybe I should ask you for help next time.

I'll let you know when I try to cook again. I need to find a new mixing bowl first. Someone broke ours, you know.
