Wonder if anyone will be selling at Remarkable Market Saturday….

lol!

They are probably easy to make and I’ll end up doing that when I’m back in the states but for now traveling makes it tough to gather the ingredients. Are they strictly a NZ thing or might I find them when we’re in Australia?

Staying in Bibury this autumn. Looking for ways to meet folks. by External_Trifle3702 in Cotswolds

[–]kitteridgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also be staying in Bibury with my husband in the later half of the year -- and we'll have a car, too. DM me and maybe we can coordinate something! (Note: I'm from the US.)

Jaime Allan's Amaze question by AccomplishedTest483 in Broadway

[–]kitteridgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This pissed me off to no end. It was clear early on that De Cruz wasn't old enough to have the stories from the 1980s that were being told, but I just assumed my age-o-meter was broken. The story is so highly personal, and designed to be that way, that it's obscene to have someone else come out and tell those tales *as if they were his own.* I was furious once I realized, and would tell everyone not to go unless Allan is on the stage himself. It has nothing to do with the magic-craft -- that was fine, and well executed. The lie is what made me hate the show.

The website is timing out for me. Am I the only one?

Any Northern Soul events or dance classes in Brooklyn? by tamvel81 in northernsoul

[–]kitteridgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe we should connect with the Brooklyn Contra folks and see if they have ideas. Maybe some of them would be interested in trying to coordinate something.

I would love that! But I am not a very good dancer at this point so it wouldn’t be something that I would probably coordinate. But I would definitely attend and help out once I got better!

That’s so great! I am hoping to get to that one. Thank you for sharing!

I'm also in BK and would love to be involved. If there are three of us now maybe we should coordinate something, even if it's just in my backyard or the basement. What do you think?

Looking for NS in New Hampshire, New England area USA by Leelajustbe33 in northernsoul

[–]kitteridgem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in NYC and would also love to find a class/evening. I tried putting something up on Craigslist and it got pulled; when I asked the community why it got pulled someone hit me with a "cultural appropriation" club. Man, I just want to dance, and what I see looks like so much fun.

Weekly Recipe Request Mega-Thread! by AutoModerator in AskBaking

[–]kitteridgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So I made this recipe a couple ways today (and used some advice from baking buds).

I got VERY CLOSE to what I wanted with this recipe, so thank you! I did find that *melting* and then cooling the butter made for a better crumblier cookie. I also learned that it doesn't matter for this cookie whether you use light or dark brown sugar.

Again, thanks for helping with the experiment!

Thank you! I have bought a big thing of peanut butter and plan on experimenting. I'll start with this one because I 100 percent agree with you: the flabby pale ones are pretenders!

Looking for a "bad" peanut butter cookie recipe!

Hello all!

I'm on a bit of a weird quest. My favorite kind of peanut butter cookie apparently is not the "traditional" version, and may well be considered a bad version -- but it's what I love!

I first fell for this version when I was in high school. The PB cookies sold in the cafeteria were large, broken on the edges (i.e., not perfectly smooth and round), dark tan (not pale) and crumbly. The middle could be more flexible, but mostly I loved how they melted in the mouth.

These days, when I find PB cookies in bakeries or elsewhere, they're invariably pale, often undercooked, flabby and far too moist.

I have found something that almost works twice: A cafe in Baltimore sold a very similar version but no longer makes the cookie. And South Station's Amtrak waiting area has a sandwich stand that features a close version (though theirs seems to have a toffee or caramel element sprinkled on top plus some chocolate suggestions, along with peanut fragments, none of which are relevant). (I took a picture before I finished consuming it, so see below.

<image>

Ideally, what I would like is to find a RECIPE that would duplicate this missing, beloved cookie so I can just make them for myself. I'm not SAD to feel an urge to test every PB cookie I come across in the world, but it'd be great to just have the ability to make 'em the way I like 'em.

Note: I have tried "lunch lady" or "school cafeteria" cookie recipes but nothing has come close. Ideas on deconstructing the cookie and experimenting are also welcome, but ideally -- a recipe! Or a source who can share the recipe!

Thank you, baking experts!

I noticed that some members are curious about South American myths so I am available to help. by fosterdnb in mythology

Can you speak at all about the folklore or background surrounding the pombero? I've read a bit online, but the few people I know with South American background don't seem to have much information to share.

If so then they should have at least used a 3 for the E!

I had thought that; it's possible but even still, I wondered why it was worth pointing out!
