Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

Milton Hershey

He knew something about chocolate.

So, I made my first batch of chocolate chip cookies a few moments ago. It was rather easy; I just followed the directions on the bag of chocolate chips. The only thing that threw me a bit was the mixer. There's something wrong with it. The first setting is "OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS SPINNING SO FAST!!???" and it only got worse from there. I muddled through, though. Yes, Chud, I will bake for you if you visit.

Discordant thought; vanilla extract is 35 per cent alcohol by volume.

damn. I want some cookies!

I can't believe you're...however old you are, and this was your first batch of cookies. geez! kids these days!

would you bake for ME if I visited? ;)

alas, no travel in my near future. must. save. money.

and I think most extracts are alcohol based. you can make your own homemade vanilla extract by soaking split vanilla beans in bourbon, if you want. never tried it, myself.

yeah, when we were kids we'd always put vanilla extract in our milkshakes... cuz, you know, maybe we could drunk with 4 people drinking off one teaspoon of extract.

and i KNOW you'll bake for me. cuz yer my bitch.
