International Thread Standards Welcome to Gode Cookery The Political Compass Sparkling Chewy Molasses Cookies This is my favorite cookie this year. They are easy enough to make to qualify as something to make for cookie swaps, especially if you’ve, um, waited too long to make them to allow a roll of dough chill long enough to do slice and bake varieties. I modified this recipe ever so slightly from the Chewy Molasses-Spice Cookies at MarthaStewart.com. I used sanding sugar to coat the balls of dough because it adds a nice bit of crunch. I didn’t have white sanding sugar in the house so I used demerara sugar, which is a light brown sugar. Here are some balls of dough before being plunked down on a baking sheet: Sparkling Chewy Molasses Cookies 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled, or 10 ounces) 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 large egg 1/4 cup molasses, blackstrap works well here about 1/2 cup chunky sanding sugar Directions

Gear Solutions Magazine Your Resource to the Gear Industry Food History - A Bibliographic Database Say Yes To The Stress In relationships, you can have identical actions that generate vastly different consequences. Kind of like watching “Say Yes To The Dress.” Which is to say that my wife adores watching fluffy wedding shows where the bride tries on a zillion froofy outfits, parading this latest dress in front of her family, before finally settling tearfully on the perfect dress. The bride flutters her hands in front of her face. And sometimes, when Gini is having a bad day, she needs to curl up and watch a “Say Yes To The Dress” marathon. We have one big television, so if she watches it, then I can’t spend my Saturday ferociously trying to beat the new Dragon Age game on the Xbox. Yet I recognize watching silly wedding shows makes Gini happy, and as such it’s a worthy thing to do. Which is to say that I occasionally get emails like, “Hey, I’m polyamorous, but I want my monogamous partner to be happy. And it’s okay that sometimes, you’re going to be uncomfortable in this relationship.
