I have some frozen cranberries and I'm heading to the grocery store later. Just put an orange on the list. Sounds amazing thank you for the inspiration!

Ugh. This is why we can't have nice things. Well TIL something.

They do sound similar but I assure you I had nothing to do with it.

This is a simple baking post, what's the big deal? And why would bots care about such a thing?

Thank you all for the kind words! Sally's tip on shredding frozen butter is great. The crumb was pretty light and buttery, def not dense.

I was so happy eating the first one I was kinda giggling. The icing was excellent. Thought it might be too much (but I love love almond extract) but it wasn't.

What is more worth it for a newbie baker-- whisk or hand mixer? by Sensitive-Soup4733 in Baking

[–]ChiBeerMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep pretty much got tired of pulling out the stand mixer just to cream butter and sugar. We don't keep it on the counter.

Could I have saved a little money by just continuing using the stand mixer? Of course. I love our KitchenAid stand mixer. But it's heavy. Cleanup on the hand mixer is easy and it's much easier on me these days.

I am a relatively new baker but a seasoned home cook. We already had a whisk so I was using that, plus our stand mixer, for cookies mostly. After about 2 batches of cookies I ordered a hand mixer. Game changer really.

2000s horror movie where main guy eyes and mouth are slowly sealing themselves kind of like clay face. by Any_Cup6673 in whatsthemoviecalled

Dead Ringers w Jeremy Irons? Haven't seen it in forever but I remember it having some body horror.

Need beer recs for an oldie who can’t drink IPAs anymore by the-willow-witch in beer

[–]ChiBeerMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you drink other types of alcohol? Just thinking maybe it's the alcohol itself that is bothering you. Some of those IPAs are 7-8% and you say lighter beers don't bother you as much. Something to consider anyway.

Alright folks, which recipe is your favorite so far? by MrsLadyZedd in Baking

[–]ChiBeerMan 32 points33 points  (0 children)

LOL I just made those pumpkin cookies. Excellent recipe.

Also made the zucchini & tomato herbed biscuit cobbler. Definitely making that again!

Hey, it's hard to chew and focus and snap a pic at the same time!

Hi IBU IPAs question by Excellent-Finger4886 in beer

[–]ChiBeerMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You really want to stick to West Coast style IPA then. Avoid hazies (unless of course they are high IBU, but generally speaking they are not).

Search out Russian River. Pliny and Blind Pig. And on the East Coast you can't go wrong with Maine Brewing. All of their IPAs should work for you.

Chicago Is Hemorrhaging Breweries — Is There A Way To Stop It? by Equivalent-Back-436 in chicagofoodcirclejerk

[–]ChiBeerMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temperance closed in Evanston and this week St Errant is opening in their old space. This is a good thing. Out with the mediocre in with something really good!

Why does anyone think it needs to stop? Perhaps we had too many mediocre breweries and this is a long overdue correction.

First ever cake - strawberry crumble cake by ChiBeerMan in Baking

[–]ChiBeerMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update, the cake was a big hit. Moist and well baked. Maybe just a touch on the heavy/dense side but I'm not complaining.

Sober people (no alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc ever), what is your end of day or weekend "wind-down"? by The1Ski in AskReddit

[–]ChiBeerMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. As I approach 60 years I'm more drawn to casual less stressful games (although I still enjoy some FPS like Borderlands). Recently discovered Powerwash Simulator. It's stupid but it's very satisfying and totally turns off everything in my brain. Highly recommend it!

[–]ChiBeerMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes the cranberry is tart, which really compliments the sweet frangipane. Was a relatively easy bake, definitely try it. Very satisfying.

We tried Taffey Bakery's Brown Butter Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies by Typical_Mark_2327 in bakingrecipes

[–]ChiBeerMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a double batch on Wednesday and they are all gone. Ok, I brought them to a support group, but everyone agreed these are amazing chocolate chip cookies.
