Homemade Girl Scout Cookies: Samoas Bars. I love the look of the original Samoas Girl Scout Cookies, but making them from scratch can be a little bit time consuming. This is largely because the dough must be rolled out, cut out and then each of the cookies has to be handled individually for topping. The results are well worth it, in my opinion, but we don’t always have time to make a labor-intensive recipe – no matter how bad a craving for Girl Scout cookies gets.
Bar cookies are the perfect solution. This is basically a shortcut recipe that still delivers all the great samoas flavor without some of the more tedious parts of cooking making. These bars have a buttery shortbread base that is topped with the caramel-coconut samoas topping and chocolate. The final step is to dip these in chocolate once the topping has set. Homemade Samoas BarsCookie Base: 1/2 cup sugar 3/4 cup butter, softened 1 large egg 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 tsp salt First, make the crust. Preheat oven to 300. Makes 30 bar cookies. The Butter Steak: What's the Best Way to Cook a Steak? I'm not interested in carbonizing the surface of the meat. To me that ruins the flavor. - Alain Ducasse It was a bachelor weekend of sorts. My wife mercifully let me pass on attending a wedding of an old family family friend, so I had the whole weekend alone in the apartment to get work done.
I had some crazy projects planned including a mad braise of a cow tongue, but the first night alone was all about pure unrestrained male gluttony. I bought a bottle of wine, a potato the size of a shoe, and an enormous rib eye. This should have been a simple meal, one requiring little skill beside turning on the stove and plopping a pan on a burner. But somewhere along the way I realized I hadn't eaten much ribeye in my life and I began to wonder whether this stove-top method was the best way to do it. My initial thought was to mimic the technique nearly every serious steak house in the Midwest does: broiling it under an inferno.
But I was a little taken aback by what I read. Still I had my doubts. 2-Minute Chocolate Chip Cookie For One.

Hydra's Solar-Hydrogen Power Makes Clean Water From Dirty at 20,000 Gallons a Day.
For the one in every eight souls around the world lacking access to pure drinking water, how about this: A solar-powered water purification system that spits out pure water, hydrogen and, just for kicks, electricity too. Could it get any better than that? The device is called Hydra, and like its many-headed mythological namesake it truly serves a multitude of purposes: As its press release notes, "imagine a single trailer-mounted device that turns scum into over 20,000 gallons of pure water a day, stores electricity better than a battery, makes medical-grade oxygen, and runs on the sun.
" That's quite enough benefits from one device, thankyouverymuch. It works on a very simple, long-understood principle: electrolysis. The products are exactly what you may expect: Oxygen to help with medical problems, electricity for any number of purposes, and pure water at a phenomenal rate.

November 13, 2008 by joejhorn A few weeks ago I started a quest for some good mac and cheese. Nancy makes a killer mac-n-cheese but I wanted my own. I’m sure I frustrate the crap out of Nancy sometimes because I’m always looking for something better when it comes to food and recipes. Now mind you , this mac-n-cheese is not Bobby Flay mac-n-cheese with some crazy-sexy ingredients, but it is really, really good! My first attempt was with a Jamie Oliver version that didn’t include a bechamel sauce but instead called for mixing the cooked pasta with the cheese and then baking it. The second version, I made a few nights ago for my best bud Chad, Nancy and the boys.
Chad is up from San Francisco and has been visiting for the past week. Last night was particularly funny though since you can customize your player characters. Well back to the mac-n-cheese. Chad, who is like me, super-competitive and a bit of a perfectionist said “Let’s do it again and do it right this time!” Like this: Best chocolate chip cookies ever » Table for Two.

Ok, so it’s not ice cream, but it’s a little almost ice cream treat for the end of what I’m guessing will be a healthy week for most of those reading. With nutella being high in protein from all the hazelnuts, teamed with banana it almost earns the title of ‘healthy’. (*140 Calories per serving and 5.3g of saturates) Ahem.

In exactly two weeks my mom will be getting on a plane to come and help us with the new baby. I could not be more excited! It’s been over a year since I last got to hug her.
That’s far too long! Thankfully I’ve been able to see her beautiful face on Skype almost every week. I don’t know what I would do without Skype! I’m already dreading when she’ll be leaving but I’m so thankful that we’ll get to spend this time with her. I’m now spending far too much time worrying over whether the baby will make it’s appearance on time. I’ve reached the mark where the baby could arrive at any moment, so if there’s a sudden lull in my posting with no explanation you can send up a prayer and give me a big push! But, enough baby stuff. This is a healthified version of General Tso’s Chicken. The fact that it requires no special ingredients, pastes or sauces makes it a great last minute dinner too.

Cookie Dough Dip. *Super-excited face* On Friday night, my previous post went viral. It is absolutely crazy. Thank you so much to everyone who’s been sharing it! With so many more people finding that post, I spent yesterday afternoon doing something I’d meant to do for a long time: creating a sugar-free version of the cookie dough dip. Since posting the original recipe, I’ve received a lot of requests for a sugar-free option, but until now, the only suggestion I had was to replace the sugar with stevia. (I don’t recommend using only stevia in this recipe; very few people will think the result tastes good.) Instead, here is a new sugar-free version that does taste good– sweetened only with fruit! (No sugar!) It’s gluten-free, too.
