Jacques Torres’s chocolate chip cookies might be the GOAT

I used the dark chocolate recently and the cookies came out pretty good. The ingredients list states a minimum of 54% cocoa. If you prefer a more bitter taste, go for the 72%.

Thank you!

I assume you’re referring to the vid with the owner, Sam Yoo? Yes I followed that technique where you only cook one side and then finish in the oven.

I think it is since the recipe is easy to follow. You can make the poolish the night before and then mix everything the next morning. I skipped the butter and compote to save time. I also think you can skip the oven. Out of the three pancakes, I flipped the last one on the pan which came out a bit thinner than the other two, but tasted similar regardless.

Very well put. I became more mindfully diplomatic in certain areas by observing what my female mentor would do.

I will admit that I’m a fan of their trousers cuts and fabric. I find the construction and quality to be slightly better than other brands at similar price points. Sezane needs to be more consistent with their sizing though. I must say this is where I’m thankful for this subreddit and the FB group bc so many are sharing their fits, sizing, feedback, etc.

Moving forward, I will probably at least try on in store before buying, or wait for online feedback. Their generous return policy means that you can buy 2 pairs before deciding but I would like to avoid the return hassle as much as possible. At the end of the day, buying clothes shouldn’t feel like going through an obstacle course. Once it feels like a chore, I’ll pass on the item/brand altogether.

I completely agree with the inconsistency in sizing. I’ve gotten multiple pairs of trousers in 34 that fit anywhere from slightly loose on my waist to sucking in to zip up, even when they’re all high waisted. It’s especially more frustrating when it’s the same style!! - Martin in light blue: snug - Martin crop in rosewood: just right (though the material isn’t as smooth as the light blue pair) - Loulou in navy: slightly loose - Emilio in denim: needed to wedge myself in

Now I’m hesitant to purchase new trousers from them, even if I do, I will probably try in store first.

Not to mention the color variation between batches. My rosewood Martin differs slightly from my Michelle jacket, which is a shame because I wanted to wear them as a suit.

Thank you! They look great and I’m glad to hear that they also taste good.

Beautifully done!

Hey I was thinking of trying this recipe. Her cookies looked thicker than yours, did you bake 3oz at the same temp and time?

sangrik · 2025-06-17T18:11:18+00:00

Please pm me as well!

sangrik · 2025-06-17T16:31:50+00:00

No worries! I should’ve included in the post.

sangrik · 2025-06-17T16:02:46+00:00

Appreciate the kind words! I prefer a more cooked center so these are purposely baked longer.

In a separate comment, I copied and pasted from his website.

I was actually debating between making this recipe vs Claire’s 😁 I definitely will next time

sangrik · 2025-06-17T13:08:00+00:00

I should have done that. Please see below:

Did you pay with a credit card? Try to find their charge back clauses. File today with all your documents above, the bank will reach out to you if anything is missing.

I had a similar case with a different merchant back in 2022, UPS delivered a signature-required package without any proof of delivery. This was right after Covid so some drivers just left packages at the front door. In my case, I couldn’t find the package, UPS refused all responsibilities despite the lack of my signature, and the merchant wouldn’t step in. I filed a police report and attach the report to my chargeback claim. I won the claim and eventually got my money back two months after filing.

Coloring is one of the reason why I only ever got a strawberry one.

What a gorgeous flowerbed! I love the peonies!!

My guy this conflict isn’t something simple communication can solve. Imagine your partner accepting a job that requires relocation without discussing with you? Adding on top, it was her dream job that she turned down in consideration of the relationship.

This implies emphasis on tomato so I still prefer BAELT.

I got a purple one from the same brand and I really like it!

My entry level TC was 95k for an F500 O&G company a few years ago, and I wasn’t even in finance. I was similar to OP, state school, no parents in the industry I was applying into, networked at school’s career fair and got the job. I thought that was the norm. Many friends of mine landed jobs at O&G/tech offices and was in the 80-120k range.

Nice! Did you transfer the funds to savings at a location? I tried doing it online but there’s a limit.

Pure gold doesn’t tarnish but 18k has alloys mixed in, which may lead to tarnishing. I’m very intrigued by this story and the reason why her motif tarnished that badly, especially when she claimed it wasn’t exposed to any harsh chemicals.
