yeah try bigger ones

if you're really being careful there's no reason for them to be thin, mine turn out like the picture

bluewolf wrote: »

they flatten out, especially if there are higher amount of sugar in the recipe

you are supposed to place the lace cookies i make sometimes sort of ball-like on the tray, then they flatten out into thin cookies

jane for the other cookies you are talking about, you are balling them up on the tray, right?
they're not supposed to "rise", they're supposed to go round->flat

maybe if you make them again take a picture so i can see whats going on

this was my first batch using the recipe

Yeah I'm balling them up. I'll try again and see what happens. Your cookies look so much nicer than mine.

Hi guys,

Thought I'd jump in and say hi. Loving the idea of a thread just for chats and gossip and whatnot. Just had to remove a giant cockroach from my bathroom - that's my hot gossip today!

Welcome Susie_Q!

The love of my life will be here in under 2 hours. I'm gonna start cooking a special roast chicken dinner for her, I've got 2 bottles of cider I picked up for her too, and tropical sorbet she likes also. We're going to have a good night.

Links your posts about your gf make me smile a ridiculous amount, you're too cute!

I'm also happy because my bf came back home with me!

honest to christ people should have to pass an IQ test before they're allowed buy a computer. our broadband comes with simple step by step guides to install it and people NEVER read it, you'd swear they were trying to disassemble a nuclear bomb the way people go on about "not being good with computers" its simple, plug it in, follow onscreen instructions. "it says click "install" to install....do I click it?" errr, take a wild guess, or we can sit here and maybe the pc fairies will arrive and take it from here. I asked a woman to click the windows/start button a while ago and she spent about 5 minutes looking. bottom left, looks like a multicoloured window or it says start on it. "no I dont have that" she was looking at the actual tower of her pc not the screen.

Copious amounts of vodka + painful heels + four hours sleep + 6 hours carrying heavy trays = Broken Emily.

WesternNight · 24-03-2012 8:35pm

I had set aside this evening to get an essay done, because I was going to have the house to myself. Apparently no-one's going out tonight, so I might as well have spent the last few hours doing the bloody thing.

:mad:

FouxDaFaFa · 24-03-2012 8:50pm

Almostnever, I have one of those core Ben and Jerrys things too. Unfeasibly excited.

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-03-2012 8:54pm

I'm jealous, I wanna try that new Ben & Jerry's too!

Just had a look in the KYL thread. Fair play to Ayla for doing Shave or Dye.

I'm finding people incredibly irritating today.

"can you go through this internet thing with me?"
"sure, are you having problems with your connection?"
"no..I dont have a connection, I was thinking of getting one though if you can explain it"
*starts going through prices*
"No no I mean can you go through the internet with me?"
"...I'm not sure what you mean?"
"like what you can do on it?"
"you ...want me to explain the internet?"
"yeah"
"......thats not really what I'm here for"
"like whats on it?"
"a lot of stuff" (in my head) "porn and kittehs, thats about it"

That could very well have been my dad, heh. He doesn't really get the concept of the internet. Which I suppose is understandable in older generations... it's very abstract for them.

In psychological terms, they don't have a "schema" for that kind of stuff.

Ah I know but this guy sounded like he was in his 40's, I mean the internet has been around for years its not a new thing, you'd imagine most people would have had some kind of contact with it before now. my dad is in his 60's and loves it he's always looking for new sites to mess around on.

Cherry Blossom Girl · 24-03-2012 9:43pm

I have decided to start classing people into two categories: those that annoy me and those that don't.
Sadly today, the former is winning.:mad: Some people are so self-righteous and ignorant it makes me sick.

It was actually UNREAL. I'm having more now in a minute

House on my street a few doors down is on fire, completely destroyed. Apparently it was arson, I would be at all surprised knowing my street to be honest. Scumbags. The only good thing is I'm fairly sure the house is vacant so at least nobody is hurt or has lost their home, even if somebody essentially loses their property!

Had a strange encounter in the drive thru queue in McDonalds on the way home tonight.

While I was waiting for my order these two guys (young, Irish, claimed to be from Tralee but didn't really sound it) got out and came up to my window and asked could they take my photo for the newspaper as they were on a roadtrip. At that point one of them suddenly said that he had to get in with me and went round to the passenger door and tried to open it (I always lock it when I drive anywhere), the one with the camera said that they weren't going to do anything bad and then both of them posed for the photo (with me supposedly in the middle, sitting in my car) and then they left.

The most likely explanation I can think of is that they were tried to rob something from inside the car.

Yikes, that does not sound like fun at all.

I'm writing an essay. Grr.

Open til 4. Sounds to me like you'd lose an hour!

Wouldn't be a fan of that at all.

If I'm honest, daylight savings adjustments should take coppers opening hours into account.

coppers opens until 4? I was only ever there on weeknights, pff, nightclubs here close at 2.30 on the dot, well then theres "areyaright there LADS!" time as the bouncers try to shunt groping hookups and drunk people trying to find their shoes and the one friend who has all the coats out.

So my mother minded kids for a family yesterday and today for over 36hours. She even had to go too there house to put them to sleep as there wasn't enough room in the house. Two of the them had to be brought swimming and they had to be feed.

the husband said he was working in dublin for the day (never heard to civil servants working on sats) and the wife went up for no reason at all.

Not even a cent towards the food or fuel cost when they came for them. Not even a thank you.

She is so angery at them.

Clocks in a pub don't change till staff are locking up. Well, that's the ways I've always done it anyway!

I am exhausted but have had such a good time. Went out last night and Thursday night. Ended up back in my friends hotel room last night, 'cause we were having so much fun and didn't want it to end. 4 of us in one bed having a chat 'til 9am. Love those kind of nights, the ones you don't plan but turn out great.

That sounds like so much fun, can't remember the last time I had one of those nights.
