It is a problem. The last things the cops want to do is to chase the kids
and have one get killed running from them. I guess maybe the town isn't
aware of the liability issues. He had a case in a city here in Ontario a
number of years ago that sent insurance raises soaring. The city owned a
piece of property that was clearly signed no motorized vehicles and had
huge rocks blocking the entrance wide enough to keep out cars and most 4
wheel vehicles, but dirt bikes could still get through. Two young kids
disobeyed the signs, manoeuvred their way around the rock barriers and were
riding their dirt bikes on the city owned property and ended up running
into each other head on. It was not the parents who bought the kids the
bikes, gave them gas to use them and allowed them to use them unsupervised
on city property who were held liable. The sued the city for $5 million and
won.

Our town has a similar problem with skateboarders. It is bad enough that
the sound alone is annoying, and that they don't care about the safety of
pedestrians, but they do the stupidest things on them and end up getting
hurt, and the town could end up getting sued.

This morning I made french toast with bread I made yesterday. It was pretty
darned good. I used the extra-thick "Shady Maple Farms" "Clearly Maple"
syrup on it. It is without a doubt the best maple syrup I've ever eaten.
Some poster on this group to whom I'm forever greatful mentioned this syrup.
When we were eating it this morning, I mentioned that it made all other
maple syrups taste of turpentine or petroleum (a bit of hyperbole, but there
was a tinge of truth there). It doesn't have any raspy strong taste.
http://tinyurl.com/2ffd4o

But reading your posting above, I was thinking that, hey, that lingonberry
stuff might have been OK, too on that toast.

While we were talking about that, I mentioned to DH that you, Wayne, had
presented the picture of a crepe maker, that I just received a couple of
days ago, and that in a few weeks to get prepared as we would be making a
'batch' of crepes. We remenisced (sp?) about having them in the early 70's
at Ghiradelli Square in San Francisco where they were in fashion at the time
and there were always lines at the 2 or 3 crepe restaurants.

I use that lingonberry stuff on vanilla ice cream -- not bad either.
But I need to replenish my supply this month. Actually I don't eat a lot of
it, I just want it there when I want it there.

In the case of coconut oil it won't, as it's the only vegetable fat that
is saturated.

You are right, I'm sure. I was probably wrong about it liquifying at 72 --
It's about 75 in my kitchen right now. It only turns hard when I put it in
the refrigerator and then I can't even hardly cut it out, so I leave it
beside the stove.
I'll send a pic of what I use and how it looks at 75. I can easily spoon it
out, and it has almost puddles where it is almost melting.

See if it is the same thing you use.

What about palm oil? What about palm kernel oil?
You should learn more about the various fats before you post stuff
that is not true.
Learn about the specific fatty acids contained in different products.
Curiously, not all saturated fats are bad for you.

Stroopwafels are hard to beat. We spent a few hours in the Amsterdam
airport two years ago and came home with many packages of them. People
we shared them with raved about them.

I think raspberry-filled linzer cookies are my very favorite.
Or maybe Petit Ecolier?
Swedish gingersnaps in the red tin?
Greek kourabiedes?
Those fried rosettes from the wedding showers of my youth?
Anna brand orange gingersnaps?
Perfect chocolate chip-with-pecans?
Shortbread petticoat tails?

(Sigh) So many cookies, so little time....

Here are the pictures I took, sf.

This is the picture of the jar that I use - picture a little blurry - sorry
http://i4.tinypic.com/2uts3no.jpg


Maybe you can see that there are puddles where it is trying to melt

http://i8.tinypic.com/6bk4ug3.jpg



Here it is in a spoon. It would run off the spoon if turned.

http://i5.tinypic.com/4q87edd.jpg






Anyway, this is the coconut oil that I use and have been using for several
years. DH loves it. He will have it on toast.

I use it for frying any asian-type dish.

Cocoa butter is from the inside of cocoa beans. Coconut oil: AKA
coconut butter is from the husk of coconuts and it *is* used in
chocolate. http://www.chow.com/stories/10709

>And we still don't know what "coco butter" is.


..... hmmm, maybe coco is an abbreviation of "coconut". Idunno.
Like I said before... the stuff I used was white, hard AND labeled as
coconut oil. A Danish friend turned me on to it. I used the jar and
never replenished it because it wasn't in style to use at the time nor
has it been since then.


Here's a good one for you! I found a site tonight that stated
“Coconut oil can be blended with diesel fuel, and under certain
conditions totally replace it."

Haven't had cookies in years. Don't like most prepackaged ones. But I did
like some of the Pepperidge Farm ones, Dare chocolate fudge, Peak Freans and
striped shortbread.. I also liked homemade chocolate chip, Snickerdoodles
and some chocolate dipped ones called Walnut Cakes.

There is also coconut butter which I believe is different than coconut oil.

I hadn't read the OP and assumed it asked about commercial cookies.

Mine:
Oatmeal chocolate chip
Peanut butter and Jelly thumbprints
chocolate mint raviolis

I did some sugar cookie and nutella sanwiches once that were fantastic.

I thought the butter had some of the meat in it? But I could be wrong.

Bizzarely enough we can buy them at Trader Joe's (rarely go there) or
the large Asian market which now also stocks items from Europe.

Here's a Dutch recipe (my translation) to make your own!

waffels:
200 gm butter
75 gm light brown sugar
250 gm flour
pinch salt
12 1/2 gm yeast
3-4 tbs milk
1 egg

Melt the butter. Knead together the flour,sugar, salt, the egg and the
butter together to make a smooth dough. Dissolve the yeast in a little
milk and let it stand a few minutes. Knead the yeast with the dough and
let it rise for about an hour.
Make small marble-sized balls and cook in a waffle iron [needs to be a
flat iron such as used to make pizelles] until golden brown. Let cool

Syrup:

150 g syrup [cane syrup-might work with corn syrup]
100 g dark brown sugar
150 g butter
pinch cinnamon

Melt the syrup, sugar and cinnamon in a small pan.When it's hot, beat in
the butter in small pieces.

Split the waffles, smear some filling between and assemble them again.
[I just use two waffles!]

Well, nothing bought - although there are some
Pepperidge Farm varieties I don't mind.

Homemade (by me):
Betty Crocker's peanut butter cookies
chocolate chip cookies (Nestle's Tollhouse recipe)
Wyoming Whoppers (a recipe I got off either rfc or rfr -
a oatmeal, raisin, chocolate chip, peanut butter cookie)
BC's ginger creams
BC's molasses crinkles (like a ginger snap but soft and chewy)
