Hello friends. Went to Kroger and did m-i-l's shopping, too hot for her to go out. Went to Bob Evans and picked up lunch for us. Balanced her checkbook and filled her pillbox. Went to Kroger to do my shopping. I think I'm going to have to have a half hour nap. Then it's make a huge bowl of antepasto, two batches of chocolate chip cookies, and a sheet cake.

Questions:

1. If you have the oven going in the kitchen so the kitchen gets hot, even with the ceiling fan on, will it help to have the stove exhaust fan on or not?

2. Do you use parchment paper more than once for a tray of cookies?

Nrs 1 & 2. No.

heck if i know. on first glance, tho, if the exhaust fan is pushing (warm) house air out of your house to the outside, where is fresh air coming in? is that air warmer or cooler than the air being exhausted out?

i don't see what difference paper would make in eating cookies!

Thank you.

Damn! Set the oven timer on the second tray of cookies for 10 hours instead of 10 minutes. Caught them just in time.

Finally, found out how to make chocolate chip cookies like I used to. For years mine have been falling flat no matter what I did.

They look beautiful and taste great. A little crisp around the edges, soft inside.

If it vents outside, I disagree. If it doesn't, then this is correct.
Why can't you reuse parchment?

It can't vent more hot air than produced by the oven, even if it's side by side.

And, bake some some chocolate chip cookies and learn.

Ugh, Pblgov's wife posted the kill list from the kill shelters in NYC on facebook.
They only give the animals 3 days. Some are old and sick, but there was a few young, healthy dogs with no major behavior issues.
The list comes out every day.

I wonder if the rescue I went to checks the list? I'm sure there are a few dogs a week that are totally fine and adoptable.

The REAL PEOPLE are the folks that Poof is visiting and making the goodies for. Gosh, I was not referencing a rescue group - I am one so to speak.

DWAN: But I do have a pretty green head covering and red hat with tassels. What's not so real about that? I realize I do not convey the same beauty that Rusty does. He is gorgeous. I, you see, am a cat if you look closely enough - the ice cream cone is a decoy to tempt dogs.

Looks like Zea's going to get some rain.

How was today?

If you were a dog, would you want to go back into the building tomorrow?

It was a day. I'll let you know what I want to share when I'm ready to share. Until then, you may no longer interrogate me.

Another blast from the PWAst.

Cya!

That was the recipe we always used except we used butter flavored crisco instead of butter.

That is a truly horrifying number. People are turning animals in because they can no longer afford the food and most particularly the vet expenses. The shelters around here often have "free" adoptions for senior citizens = and of course, they too are among a group who cannot walk into a vet's office and spent a couple of hundred bucks.

Dayem, the rainbird sensor must be broken again. Sprinklers just went on and we had one heck of a downpour with amazing lightning this afternoon. Night all. Over and out.

not much.

You used more flour and sifted it? I haven't sifted anything in probably 20 years. Will now.

I used the amount of flour on the bag. Sometimes sifted, sometimes didn't.

Maybe you have superior knowledge of the configuration.
But
Depending on the vent hood, and the location of the oven (mine vents right under the hood) it can absolutely suck the heat out. Besides, it doesn't have to vent all of it, any amount vented is less that has to be cooled by the A/C.

I'll take your word on the parchment paper, I don't bake.

pooflady wrote:You used more flour and sifted it? I haven't sifted anything in probably 20 years. Will now.

Let me know how much flour you end up using and how they turn out.

I usually used 2 1/4 cups unsifted.

dontwantaname wrote:I always just did what it said on the bag.

I did that from the time I was first married. Then about 10 years ago, they all started going flat. I tried going back to margarine instead of butter, that didn't work. I tried chilling, that didn't work.

The site I posted above somewhere is how much flour I used sifted. And they're beautiful. Like I told AZ, a little crisp around the edges, but soft and chewy in the center.

Did you add more flour? The site was fascinating.
edit: I read back. Answered my question already.

seems like it would be. But it is GREAT in peanut butter cookies. My step-mom makes the BEST peanut butter cookies.

My feet hurt. Done for tonight.
