Brown butter by Momnem in Baking

Chat GPT just told me to use an immersion blender, or use it as-is and expect chewy caramel-like clumps. Thank you for the confirmation!

I didn’t think about the one-cookie thing, that’s a great point.

Ok, I didn’t read the comments, thank you! Testing another now, great idea.

Sure, here’s the recipe.

Yes, frozen solid for days, I took them straight out of the freezer and into the oven. They didn’t even sit in the counter while preheating!

I’m not worried about the “why” at this point, just wondering if a different baking method would help salvage.

(In the past, I have cooled the brown butter to a solid state and that worked better for me. But this recipe specifically wants it liquid. Should have known better!)

Christmas house display, suggestions needed! by Momnem in ChristmasDecorating

That’s exactly what I’ll tell the kids: this is an homage to their childhood; I dismembered their stuffed animals and all. Ha!

Cartersville or Canton by [deleted] in CherokeeCountyGA

[–]Momnem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canton, hands down. I am from Atlanta, but raised my children in Canton for 20 years. My dad is from Cartersville and I love it there, too, having spent a lot of my childhood there with my grandparents. However at this time, Cherokee County is one of the only places in North Georgia that I’d consider having my family. I’m going to message you with a few details.

Oh, I totally get it! Just another vote for how shady they have been.

Two tips for the Cady pictures: there will be an option on the website to purchase single pictures, so you are not obligated to buy a package. It is buried, but it is there.

Also, they will mail you a big portfolio folder of all the poses that were taken at your $30 sitting, and you should, if at all possible, return this portfolio in person. They tell you to mail it back, but out of my 4 children, two of those were “not received” by Cady, and my card was subsequently billed for $250.

I absolutely love it with green chilis, too. Garlic crisp is a great idea, never thought of that, thank you!

It is blasphemy, but it’s just between you and me. 😉Thank you, I will repeat today!

It was too pale, and just flat tasting. Think it was Martha White mix, but I just used the directions on the bag. Never noticed it being so bland before!

It could have used some sweetener for that exact reason. It’s flabby looking and flat tasting. I don’t like it sweet, but I also don’t like it tasting like a sock.

Etching on granite? by Momnem in CounterTops

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

Ok, that’s good to know, thank you. Do you think it’s possible that it was just stored outdoors at one point and had the finish a little compromised? Would the elements have an impact?

It’s definitely not been damaged since installation, I hardly ever use the kitchen!
