I have bought gingersnaps at Ikea once or twice; but I have bought enough
packaged cookies to count on both hands in the last 3 decades, but I still
remember the chocolate-covered graham crackers that my mom used to make for
me.

How did she do that, Wayne? IOW what is the recipe for that chocolate stuff
that stays hard enough not to be "sticky" in your hands. I've seen a few
for sale at Starbucks/Borders etc that I've tasted, but they aren't the
same. Maybe they are, but they are not in my memory bank.

When I am wanting something a little different at night, I will open a box
of probably 3-year old graham crackers, put a couple in the microwave and
shave off a little chocolate on top of one; that's the closest I get to that
memory.

I would be forever greatful if you would give me a tip -- (P.S. I don't buy
chocolate chips).

Had my first butterscotch krimpet TastyKakes of the year this morning. It's
freezing, windy cold in Media, PA.

The park police drove up to ask what we were up to and we mentioned the fall
hawk migration count. I then mentioned to the officers if you ever see any
hawks going north about this time, pull 'em over!

I got a chuckle, not arrested. WHEW!

Ikea stores have restaurants and a small food section where they sell a
number of Scandinavian specialities. My wife and I were stranded Toronto
for a few hours last month after a brake line in the car blew. I was lucky
to find a garage at 4 pm on a Friday night that would fix it for me so we
could get back home that night. It was going to be a few hours. We walked
about a half mile down the road to Ikea, looked around and decided to grab
a bite to eat in the cafeteria style restaurant. I had heard that it was
pretty cheap. I remembered seeing their advertisements for 75 cent hot
dogs. The were selling (10) meatballs with potatoes, salad and a beverage
for $3.99. They also had a nice selection of open faced sandwiches. I
ended up with an open face smoked salmon with salad. There are free refills
on coffee and soft drinks. It is hard to beat.

If you are ever feeling hunger and spot an Ikea, check into the nearest
Ikea. Just be careful not to start walking through the store because
nobody ever follows the arrows to navigate an Ikea store without buying
something.

I have some 'favorite' things from Ikea -- one, is a wooden lazy susan
med-large-- $6 - very nice.
It's really hard to resist.

Ikea in New Haven also has a little store where you can get quick/quick
fast/food items -- coffee, or other small foods; they have little round
tables to eat at. In that section they have grocery items - that's where
they keep the lignonberry jam! You can buy their meatballs in large
packages, etc.

I saw Almondy there!!! It is yummy! Believe it or not, I
first found this at a health food store. I later realized
that was because it is gluten-free.

Not really, cops are to be respected as an authority figure but not if
they are silly or are overstepping their authority. Most cops are just
normal decent people doing their jobs who you can joke with but some are
in it because they love power.

I live in PA. A few weekends ago we were riding our (human powered)
bikes in a woodsy area near a lake that is open to the public. Cop pulls
up and says "you can't be here because people are riding ATVs (why
parents need to buy ATVs for a 12 year old is another matter) on the dam
and weakening it. I politely suggested that we weren't riding ATVs and
hadn't noticed any postings regarding trespassing. He gave me a dumb
look and drove off.

Park police only police the county parks. Fine pet owners who don't leash
their dogs, warn skateboarders, etc. Different breed of law enforcement.

They drove up to our picnic table and were genuinely curious.

Now if I was pulled over on the interstates, I'm strictly yes sir/no sir.

My local PDs have known me for years and they have a good sense of humor.
We wave as we pass in traffic. It's the out-of-towners that get a second
glance.

Ikea has a little are in front where they sell various Swedish
influenced products.

We were going to ride the Schuylkill river bike trail today but put it
off until tomorrow because of the wind.

We have a red-tail who lives nearby. DH was driving home from the PO and
about to turn into our driveway. It flew by his windshield with a mouse in
its mouth.

Om, no need for snakes in our house!

Something's wrong with someone who thinks Ikea sells furniture, those
are painted produce crates.

One local market sells great gingersnaps that are packed in a plain
brown bag with simple printing that are the best storebought ones I have
found. They have a really strong but pleasant bite. I can't remember the
name.

She used coco butter (coconut oil).

I always have coconut oil right by the stove for cooking. At around 72º it
becomes liquid.

However, I wonder if on the farm (poor at that) anyone used coconut oil --
perhaps they got it somewhere. I don't remember a supermarket in our area
until 1945.

Hmmm ---

Interesting. I never would have guessed it liquefied at such a low
temperature. My house is usually in the mid to low 60's. In any
case, I've used it to harden chocolate and it works.

I don't buy too many different types of packaged cookies, Dee. I do like
several different brands of gingersnaps. The ones from Ikea are good.
There is also a brand (can't remember the name) that is is found in many
supermarkets, packaged in a rather plain brown paper bag.

Alas, I have only had the commercial ones and never tried to make them
myself. I suspect that either a hard fat or a bit of parafin is added to
the chocolate to make a firmer coating.

Actually, that sounds pretty good.

Well, I do buy chocolate chips, but probably wouldn't be inclined to use
them for this. Have you ever tried any of the commercially available
chocolate covered grahams? There's Nabisco of course, but the best ones
I've had are some other brand and not as large as a standard graham
cracker. They are probably about 2 inches square.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

As it happens, Barbara, they were one of my childhood favorites, too.
Those I've had within recent years haven't seemed quite the same, though.

My guess would be sugar reduction.
Heat water, throw in sugar.
Reduce until you can draw strings from the mass.
Mix with (pre-heated) chocolate and dip the cookies in the result.

Cheers,

What brand of Wheatmeal Biscuits? I used to really like them
and preferred Carr's. They became hard to find, and then when
I finally found them again, they seemed to be less good.

I gather we are speaking of store-bought cookies. I would say
that in addition to Oreos (alas), I also like moist, chewy
hermits and molasses cookies.

Carr's or McVitie's. I can usually find one or the other at World Market,
or at one of our local Phoenix up-scale chains, AJ's. I hadn't noticed a
change in Carr's the alst time I had them. How they seem to change to you?

Oh, I love homemade hermits and molasses cookies, too. We'd get along just
fine! "-)

Oatmeal lace cookies. Not necessarily this recipe, but this one looks
fine:

Chips O'Hoy? Imported from Ireland, are they?

Oreos for me.

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 confessed to having been spoiled as a kid. We always had lots of home
baked cookies in the house and store bought cookies were a rare treat. Our
favourites were Dad's oatmeal cookies. Peak Freans makes some pretty good
cookies. The only kind of cookies that I buy these days are those chocolate
covered coconut bars, and it has been so long since I bought any that I
can't remember the name of them.

Home-made (allergies). Although there is one brand of coconut
shortbread I really like. Can't remember the name; it's one of those
"know them when I see them" things.

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!]
