Isolated BDSM Blurts: Facehugger Fetish

[midwestyankee]

Just clarifying, thanks to my Scottish heritage and shortbread tradition, that only real 100% butter is acceptable for shortbread, Gracie.

Salted or unsalted for this use?

Salted or unsalted for this use?

My grandmother always used salted so that's what we use. I'm sure if you rarely use salt, so prefer that taste, it would work fine with unsalted as well. Or perhaps add a bit of salt but not a lot.

1/2 lb butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour

Cooking Instructions

In a food processor, process butter until creamy.

Add sugar, process to blend.

Add flour and process in short bursts, on and then off. Dough should be crumbly.

Shape into four quarter circles, about 1" thick, on a pizza pan. Dust tops lightly with sugar. Prick top with a fork, making small indents all around.

Bake at 300F for 41 minutes, or until bottoms are brown

Edited to add: These are not fancy shaped cookies. You break the wedge (each quarter circle) into chunks and serve it that way. Has a completely different taste than thin cookies.

Thank you.

What kind of pizza pan?

 

[wicked woman]

Thank you.

What kind of pizza pan?

Really? That's your question?

 

[midwestyankee]

Really? That's your question?

Yes. It's the only direction here that's not precise enough for me to follow easily. I have three different kinds of pizza pan, including the official Pyrex John Stewart Casserole Dish.

Oh, it was a serious question. I thought you were just being a smart alec.

Think metal baking sheet. If you've got one that is wide enough I'd use that. Most of our family doesn't so use a round metal pizza pan. The shortbread doesn't fill the whole pan like a pizza crust would, it's just that you need more width than the average baking sheet. Key thing is it's got to be thick...about 1" so whatever diameter that makes.

Now you've got me wanting to make some shortbread.

Me, a smart Alec? Surely you jest.

Happy national jealousy day to all those celebrating, so mostly people in Finland I assume.

The 2020 tax records became public about 2 hours ago, so now media is full of who’s paid the most taxes and where have they gotten their money. This is such a weird day/week.

It’s not a big thing here that way anymore, because the information is easier to get to online these days and it doesn’t seem to get released all at once like that anymore either.
The papers still do their ”These are the highest incomes in your town” things but it seems to be something the save for a news drought these days.

I wish that would happen here, too, but it’s gotten more carnivalesque over the past ten years or so. Everyone I know and have spoken about this feels very meh about this, because it is easy to get yourself too, if you really care.

The rest of the week will be mostly about this, which is incredibly boring, because I’m more interested in other things. And the discussion around taxation is the same every year anyway, so I really don’t get what’s so interesting about this. B

They’ve started to pay tax refunds at several times of the year instead of everyone getting them the same day. So I’m hoping the same will happen to the tax records too, eventually, and then we’ll get rid of the national jealousy day.

New medication side effects suck. What a mixed bag this feeling is. Yay, treatment! Fuck, I just need to get through a few days of nausea and headaches. But disease management! So ultimately it’s decidedly good.

Used to hang out a bit with one of the guys on the youngest and richest list here, because of a hobby we had in common. We were in our twenties then and he was a trust fund-kid. He was not happy when they were running those specials in the evening papers.

What an idiot.

 

[Curious51228]

What an idiot.

I imagine the list of people this comment could apply to is long! I know I have a substantial list!

 

[IrisAlthea]

German legalese conquered, at least for the time being. I think I may have sprained my brain though.

I had one person in mind, but you are definitely right!

New blurt: Amazing how much change can happen after learning of a food allergy. I had no idea how much could be attributed to a single ingredient.

It's not a semen allergy, is it?

 

[ToPleaseHim]

Lol, thankfully no.

Milk, though. Avoiding dairy in America is quite a challenge, but it’s definitely worth it.

 

[ToPleaseHim]

There’s a lot of us going through this right now.

Eliminating dairy has had immediate and positive results for me. Now just trying to figure out Thanksgiving…

 

[Acktion]

Tonight it was Jamaican jerked beef potstickers.

My tongue is still going, "I'm sweatin' like Richard Simmons. Are there any more?"

But, my ass is already sayin' "oh, you motherfu-"

Blue Bell. At least a full pint.

Lactose or milk protein?
Asking because I’m wondering a bit about milk consumption related to acne.

 

[seela]

I saw an owl and it was damn big. I always thought owls are cute and smart, but this one was more scary than anything else.

Now off to figure out what kind of an owl it was.

Edit: It was a great grey owl. I’d say the name suits the bird pretty well.

I’m working with a doctor now to determine which, but eliminating dairy for a trial period relieved so many symptoms I was having. I have a follow up this week and will hopefully learn more.

I’d love to hear more about what you find out, if you’d feel ok sharing.

I have friends who have a kid with milk protein allergy so I’ve had to think about substitutes. Don’t know if any of this helps but Sauce Bearnaise and Hollandaise can be made with canola oil as long as it is neutral in taste. I have been investigating the vegan section too for things like cheese for pizza etc of course but I find the desserts trickier.
Applecrumble and pie crust turn out well with coconut fat though and I have had luck with canola oil too.
A favourite dessert for when they visit, is mango sorbet with coconut cream. If you serve it really cold, the coconut cream will freeze in a layer over the sorbet.
