Verdict: the flourless chocolate-walnut cookies are ... okay. Tasty enough. Need to work on consistency across the batch, though.
Wish I'd had a use for those egg yolks. Need to coordinate flourless-cookie baking with crème-brûlée- (or hollandaise-) making.
Cookies are in the oven ... and I am an expectant cookie-father, pacing back and forth.
Oh, those egg whites need to be at room temperature, eh? Time for an egg-white-warming beer, then. (Baking beers are a Stadler tradition.)
10pm seemed like a good time to start a completely untried cookie recipe. Especially given that I don't bake much.
A licky boom boom down.
Due to a miscalculation in recipe times, the Stadlers are sitting down to split pea soup at 10:20pm. Perhaps it's Spanish split pea soup?
While you're enjoying the holiday season, I'm enjoying Advent.
I have GOT to start checking the weather before I go out. 20°F & a stiff wind isn't something you step into w/o adequate mental preparation.
Also, when I got to my office this morning, it was 63°F. The coat stays on.
Gus Van Sant's "Restless" is filming one street over from ours (and a few blocks north). Hello, film crew! Hello, port-a-potties!
I've had "Bohemian Rhapsody" stuck in my head for days. Days! My brain thinks it's less a rhapsody and more a canon. Mama ... oooOOOOoooooo ....
I had a crazy dream I was in a land of giant marshmallows. And when I woke up, my pillow was gone! And my collection of giant marshmallows!
Okay, it's so wrong that it's snowing in Dallas and not even close to snowing in Portland. ... Wait, but it's actually quite nice here.
Nothing personal, but you are wrong, wrong, wrong. Present company excluded.

Forgot to wear black today. Also forgot to go shopping. Did remember to eat, though.
The Boy slept in past 9am this morning. Now that is the way to start a Thanksgiving morning! To be followed by baking, of course.
I find it odd that when we say "thanks", it's always to someone. But when we're "thankful", we're just thankful. To ... ?
P.S. It is no coincidence that cherry + heering = cheering.
Linzertorte dough is done, and related dishes are washed. Sitting on the couch with a glass of Cherry Heering. That is how we Stadlers roll.
Given that I know 1 recipe that calls for allspice (& 1/8 tsp. at that), I don't know why I bother worrying that we don't have enough.
The linzertorte has been started ... sort of. I have to jet off to choir warm-up and Thanksgiving (Eve) service. But I did toast some nuts.
