White chocolate chips > Raisins

 

[Eusis]

What I'd like to try are cranberry oatmeal cookies. Saw the premade dough in the store and realized that I'd probably really like oatmeal cookies more with those than with raisins.

 

[Leeness]

I am at my Christmas party.

I wish to melt into the floor and maybe die tho

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Raisins are straight. I eat Raisin Bran Crunch and Bread Pudding. Both of those will get fucked up by me.

Oatmeal cookies on the other hand - Nah ah, that's old people food.

Cranberries and any kind of berry are better than raisins. I need to try a blueberry choco chip cookie.

My anxiety is high lmao. At least most people aren't talking to me. Phew.

 

[shiba5]

um wow, oatmeal raisin cookies are the best.

You know what's even better? Oatmeal cookies.

>.>

(Actually, I use dried sour cherries instead.)

I went to see my mom the other day, and she had Werther's Originals in a bowl. Fuck, you're not that old. Throw those out!

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Just wanted to say hi and that I love you all

Terrible person spotted

In funnily related news I just got back from a friend's house where a bunch of us girls made and ate decorated Christmas cookies all night! (No raisins to be had, fortunately)

 

[olympia]

tbh i mostly like social events but the part where you get away and go home is such a sweet moment

 

[QuantumSquid]

i'm not a girl but my opinion on oatmeal raisin cookies matters too

and that opinion is: they're way better than chocolate chip.

 

[Media]

Oatmeal Raisin cookies are alright. I don't tend to like super sweet stuff so it's right balance for me.

Fresh, hot of the over chocolate chip cookies always hit the spot though.

 

[QuantumSquid]

posting that parks n rec gif just reminded me

he must have god genes

Wut. How is the 43? I look ten years older than him and he's my age in reverse.

Social events, boooooooo.

Going home, yaaaaas.

A friend of mine once made me beef jerky cookies.

I know what the follow-up question is, and no, they did not taste gross.

I kinda really want to try that. I love beef jerky.

 

[Platy]

I would never understand why people would choose to trade chocolate for raisins

It is like Panettone ... you can choose a version with raisins and candied fruit OR you can choose chocolate.

HOW can you not choose the chocolate one ?

I've had chocolate covered bacon. Surprisingly good.

 

[Ceallach]

Bacon chocolate candy bars are amazing

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I went to see my mom the other day, and she had Werther's Originals in a bowl. Fuck, you're not that old. Throw those out!

I had to google those because I haven't heard about them in a while... Fuck, I haven't seen one of those bags in years.

 

[Misha]

I buy werthers sometimes -_-

They're really good

 

[Media]

I used to have to take these chemo shots once a week and they made my mouth have this horrible dirty penny flavor in it, so I bought a ton of werthers just to overpower that lol

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I just came back from taking my mother out to dinner for her birthday. When that check came and I saw $55 I said "Damn!" in my head. Had me checking the check to see if they added a third person. Gratuity costs and shit.

That's like a third of my paycheck. Hopefully when I start this new job next time I'll be like "that ain't shit".

 

[Sibylus]

Throwing away werthers?

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE

 

[suzu]

Werther's...? Ohhhh those. How nostalgic. lol

 

[Professor Beef]

More like Werthless huehuehue

Spoiler

I've never actually had one

*chews on Beef angrily*

 

[Kinsei]

Werthers are delicious. They are a staple Christmas candy alongside Lifesavers, Turtles, and Quality Street chocolates.

 

[shiba5]

I dislike butterscotch almost as much as raisins.

 

[WaffleTaco]

I love sweets, but I am going to give them up I think...so no more cookies or werthers for me =(

 

[Misha]

Aren't they caramel tho?

Spoiler

Or are you talking About something else entirely

 

[Ekai]

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE

Werther's are okay. A bit forgettable. I had to google image search them. : P

 

[shiba5]

Spoiler

They have both kinds. Caramel is awesome, but the ones my grandmother always had were the gross butterscotch ones. I should check which ones my mom has.
We also had those bowls of hard candy where you try to pick up one and the whole lot of them are stuck together.

Never knew you were brazilian xD

 

[Zaphrynn]

This is insanity. I'm fine with raisins, but chocolate chips are waaaaaaaaaay better.

And Werther's are bad ass, especially the kind with filling.

 

[besada]

Do you do woodwork?

I do. This year I'm making a bunch of spoons as gifts, as well as carving two necklaces for my wife, and a series of wall hangings based on Princess Mononoke. I made up a bunch of ornaments in hardwood recently for a Christmas craft sale. Some pictures below.

The spoons are still in process.

There really is a Simpsons quote for everything.

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

those are really nice spoons

.... i wanna learn woodwork now :<

 

[shiba5]

Those are nice spoons. I could use some new ones. Just saying...
Where would I purchase such a spoon?

Spoons are pretty easy if you use fresh, green wood. Check spoon carving on youtube. The only tricky part is the bowl, and all the trickiness vanishes with a hook knife, which you can pick up for $25. The ones pictured are all dry wood, which take a little more work, since they're a lot harder. So I used both power tools and gouges to shape the bowls.

This is Jill Swan, a woman wood carver, showing you how to make a spoon from log to spoon. Depending on what tools you have, there are a bunch of different ways.

I'm setting up an etsy after the holidays to sell some of my stuff, but you don't have to wait until then:
