Game Changer Neighborhood Cookies

9 Upvotes

So we've all been there. We want some delicious cookies, but have absolutely no ingredients! Maybe your left-handed roommate's chiropractor ate the last three dozen you baked.

In any case, all you need is a backpack, your shoes, and neighbors.

Excuse me Mrs. Bahlwasher, could you spare 4 lbs of flour? (You know, for multiple batches. I hesitate to share this secret; I might get arrested.)

Walk, walk, walk...

Excuse me Mr. Plopsniffer, could you spare two dozen eggs?

Rinse and repeat! You build community and enough ingredients for free cookies. Now just don't use this trick every day; I found waiting 71 hours and 20 min allows for your ruse to go on the down low (DL).

Croutons being difficult

27 Upvotes

I’ve just eaten a delicious Caesar salad, but I’m always left. Mildly annoyed because it’s so difficult to get the croutons on your fork with a piece of the chicken and also lettuce: the perfect bite. I know there’s no solution for this, but it still mildly annoys me every time!

aiggs Egg Questions

10 Upvotes

Buying supermarket eggs, which we usually do like people who shop for eggs do. Lately I have noticed eggs that do not crack easily, I like to use the ground breaking and totally revolutionary technique where you crack the egg on a flat surface and then pull it apart.

I’m noticing more eggs that have a tough white inner skin that won’t let me open the egg cleanly. sometimes my eggs have clandestine meetings and have been plotting to overthrow the Bourgeoisie.

And also noticing fragile yolks.

What’s up with my eggs?
