I can’t eat solid food right now, so I spent most of Thanksgiving with my 82-year-old mother, talking to her while she gave me bad parenting and job advice, and later baked herself and her dogs a turkey leg because her housemate is away and I wasn’t going to eat any. That’s a bit sad. But still, nice to spend time with her despite all of that. Who knows how many visits I’ll have left?
Meanwhile, my wife and daughter were at my in-laws, which is a zoo because she has a ton of relatives. The food is good, but I’m happy for a quieter Thanksgiving.
More brown sugar to white sugar ratio i think, molasses helps with the chewyness of the cookie. I use 165g of brown sugar with 150g of white sugar and it still comes out chewy after the dough being frozen.
Powered by a new technology where they concentrated many tons of high yield maple syrup into a dense mass that was super heated and placed under enormous pressure to collapse into a super concentrated maple syrup neutron core … affectionately called by Canadian scientists … the ‘hockey puck’.
You see, the secret is that humans - and especially children - are incredibly self-centered, and will rarely bother to think of the other people in the world at all. Santa is for them, not other people.
Sort of off topic but I honestly hate Santa. I don’t think it’s cool to lie to kids, especially to tell them that they and their actions are constantly judged by an invisible third person. That’s before getting into the class issues around rich kids apparently being better in this all knowing all seeing quasi benevolent god’s eyes. Why else would they get the good stuff while the poor kids get the shitty stuff and the knockoffs? Was no one else upset as a kid finding out that adults had essentially engaged in a conspiracy to deceive you? Fuck Santa. And fuck mass surveillance and judging gods and normalizing those concepts in children.
