Molasses

Y'know, I have been checking every day to see if Blake Lewis has cut a video for his ace new track "How Many Words" and all I get is a big phat nothin. Well, he did release a little online...

Last night, we were all out of chocolate.Now I know that you're thinking. How can this be? No CHOCOLATE? Well... Let's just say that I like my Chocolate Chip Mini Cupcake recipe. :)I have to admit that, when I'm feeling lazy, plain dark chocolate has always been (and probably will always be) my dessert of choice. We usually keep a tin of bulk dark chocolate chips handy for when just such an occasion arises. But alas, there was none to be had. I did, however, have a fresh new jar of blackberry jam from the farmer's market.There's really nothing like blackberry jam, you know? I grew up picking buckets of blackberries at my grandparents' house for all kinds of different blackberry recipes. I have a very fond memory of about a dozen of us climbing up plywood boards onto the tops of the (severa

Today I want to share with my readers the one cookie that I will eat about 7 of in one sitting - because they are that delicious and that addicting. Now, it's just a simple molasses cookie with a few spices, but it's... amazing. So amazing that it is the all-time-favorite cookie of my three kids. Yes, you read that right. My 16, 15 and 11 year old children will chose this cookie first and

Já aqui trouxe pães com várias tonalidades mas estava-me a faltar um mais escurinho. Procurei na minha lista de receitas, por um que se enquadrasse no que eu tinha imaginado, mas em vão! Virei-me então para a net, mas também nada encontrei. Ou não gostava da receita ou não tinha em casa todos os ingredientes para a materializar. Vi-me então obrigado a criar a minha própria receita de pão escuro

I made this last week and it was moist and dense with a nice spicy flavor. Andrew thought it was a little strong on molasses but no one else agreed with him and the cake disappeared quickly (and may it be noted in the record that his objections didn't slow him down any).2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar1 teaspoon baking powder3/4 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon ground ginger3/4 cup fat free half and half1 tablespoon white vinegar1/2 cup shortening1/2 cup canned pumpkin1/4 cup light molasses2 eggsIn a bowl combine the half and half with the vinegar and let it set.

The softness of these cookies is a delightful surprise to those that assume they are ginger snaps. These soft cookies have been a hit since I first made them during my senior year in college in 1994. At the time I was looking to expand on the variety of cookies I made and this recipe first caught my eye because it contained dark corn syrup, molasses and milk—three ingredients I had never before used for cookies. In addition to molasses, the flavor of this cookie is derived from ground clove, ginger and cinnamon. The smell of these cookies baking is reminiscent of fall and winter holidays, but I enjoy their great taste year round. Like any dark cookie dough, determining doneness by browning can be tricky. Other dark cookies will just start to burn and you know you have gone too far, but the key to good molasses softies is: keep them soft. Overcooked, these cookies will be hard, dry and crunchy long before they will actually burn. These cookies bake longer than most cookies and tim

Another day, another catastrophic remote exploit of Windows. The vulnerability affects the way Microsoft’s code processes icons. Yes, icons. Never mind, the story of its fix is telling enough. Microsoft was first alerted to the .ANI vulnerability back in December, but a patch for it didn’t come before exploits began hitting the wild [...]

Investors might assume that when a company's chief competitor folds its tent, the market share in the industry would move from the vanquished to the victor. Not so with Boeing. At least not yet. Boeing has not received any major orders for its new jumbo plane, the 747-8, despite a slew of problems with the Airbus 380, its new super-jumbo product. A number of Airbus customers, lead by Emirate Airlines, has expressed severe doubts about whether they will stick with the Airbus 380, but where are the orders for the competing Boeing product? Boeing is faced with some measure of doubt about whether it can take advantage of this situation, or, if Airbus can hold customers, even with a late delivery schedule. Oddly enough, Boeing is beginning to beat Airbus in the market. for slightly smaller intercontinental aircraft. It has broken a key account in South America, TAM of Brazil, by selling it the new 777. Previously, the airline bought from Airbus. The 777 and new Boeing Dreamliner have had

I'm feeling remotely in the holiday spirit today. But since I'm not enough in the holiday spirit to actually bake cookies, I thought I'd share my all-time favorite cookie recipe.When I was little my grandmother made several dozen varieties of cookies. I never tried these, since they didn't look quite as fun as the frosted reindeer or powdered-sugar-dusted snowballs. At some point in my early twenties, I ventured a bite. Now these are the ones I sneak off the tray when no one is looking. Tender gingerbread, sweet jelly center. Yum.So, here is the recipe in my dear grandmother's classic form.Great Grandma Ewing's Molasses CookiesYou will need:One jar of jelly (apricot and plum are favorites)Begin with:1 Cup white sugar1 Cup shortening1 egg*Mix the above until creamy*Add:1 Cup blackstrap molasses1/2 Cup hot water1 Tablespoon vinegarSift:4 and 1/2 Cups flour1 teaspoon baking soda2 teaspoons baking powderpinch of salt1/2 teaspoon cloves1 teaspoon cinnamon3/4 teaspoon gingerChill and r
