Where to eat near Michigan Ave, Chicago?
I had a great meal at Coco Pazzo Cafe which is at 676 North St. Clair. It's not nearly as big as the original Coco Pazzo, but it's cozy, bustling and very nice. I don't know if the link will show up here, but I'm pasting it below.
If Obama and McCain were food... What food would they be?
I tried not to think too hard about it and the first things that came to my mind were
Obama = BLT
McCain = Pot Roast
Pillsbury Bake-Off Million-Dollar Winner: Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies
I think the recipe was a good choice. Have had to explain waffe-stick stuffing for the past two years, I am glad Carolyn just has a cookie to deal with. It's pretty straightforward and I think it's one that normal people will make when they need to provide cookies for a group.
Having said that, I've seen many versions of that recipe. Some with chocolate coating, some made with peanut butter cookie mix. I think the cleverness of combining a snickerdoodle with a filled peanut butter cookie is what the judges liked. She took an old favorite and put it in a convenient, easy to replicate recipe.
My only problem is the recipe didn't specify salted or unsalted peanuts. I made them with salt and the sweet/salty makes your forget about the refrigerated dough. I can imagine the cookies might be a little flat without the salt. But that's just my opinion. I like salt.
I also think there should have been a higher ratio of peanut butter to sugar....like 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar.

Last bite on earth: I always take this question too literally and can't answer it properly. Who knows what kind of state of mind I'd be in if it were my last moment on earth? But I guess the answer would be chocolate ice cream with chunks of fudge brownie.

Poor kids.
