I love these cookies. I made them with walnuts and a generous three of spoonfuls of vanilla and I use confectioners (not granulated) sugar in the cookie. The nuts toast as you bake them as they will be baking around 15-20 minutes (no need to pre-toast (IMO). Personally I find they take on a goopy coating if you roll them in the sugar when they're hot. I wait til they are just warm. This cookie means Christmas to me!

Looks fabulous! Why chicken broth though? If you're making beef why not beef broth? I'm sure either would do but why the preference for chicken in a beef dish?

I love creamy coleslaw. I have always used half sour cream and half mayo in the dressing (with sugar, lemon juice and celery seed, salt and pepper). I shall try Kenji's all mayo one because I trust his judgment.

As far as shredding nothing is better than doing it by hand with a nice big chef's knife. I've tried other methods; not the same.

>if you accidentally drip it on your legs, instead of back in the bowl, you'll have eggpants.

If someone says you have permission to do that.. you have egg pants permission:-)

I made these .. the best, crispiest fried chicken wings ever, and the sauce just made it better. I added a little salt instead of fish sauce and also a little minced ginger to the sauce. I added a pinch of salt to the crust as well. To make them pretty I sprinkled a few sesame seeds over the top when serving, indicating that this has an Asian influence.

Just magic. Thanks for a fabulous recipe!

I've made homemade Reeses forever. The sweet somes from powdered sugar (confectioner's) and the grittiness comes from non-fat dry milk. Just mix peanut butter (I like natural), confectioner's sugar, nonfat dry milk and a little vanilla and voila you have a Reeses! Experiment with the ratios of the ingredients; more noin-fat milk equals more grittiness, more sugar, more sweetness..Form them into balls or patties and put in the fridge. When they are cool dip in in chocolate. Let harden on a rack then layer in wax paper. I store them in the fridge and give away a few. Mmmm!

In our family it was always poached eggs on mashed potatoes. Very easy on the tummy and satisfying when nothing else will do. Any cold juice drink is good; like apple juice with lots of ice.

This sounds fabulous but.. no salt?

I have wonderful offal memories:-) I love boiled tongue; boiled beef tongue with whole peppercorns and a bay leaf, served with mustard and horseradish. I can't even find tongue now in a store.
