Eating for Two: Peanut Butter Cookies

Speak of the devil, I JUST made these cookies for a friend's birthday (and I made them *before* looking at this post). They were a big hit! My only complaint is that I wish the recipe didn't call for non-natural peanut butter.

It really depends on what mood I'm in, but I've always liked vanilla, chocolate and black and white (chocolate ice cream, chocolate sauce and marshmallow cream). Peanut butter also sounds tasty. And, even though I like Oreos, an Oreo milkshake does not sound appealing.

Best TV Chef? Worst TV Chef?

Oh man, I forgot one!

JACQUES PEPIN/JULIA CHILD: You could tell how much respect each of them had for the other. They always worked together well to create a meal that was fresh and full of flavor! I also enjoy them separately (I wasn't around for Julia's "The French Chef", but the segments I've seen are straightforward and endearing, like the omelette party example.)

Best TV Chef? Worst TV Chef?

AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN: I think that the cooks on America's Test Kitchen are my favorite because they explain exactly what they're doing and why. (I think that Julia is a chef, I'm not sure about Bridget or Becky.) I also like that they take a more light-hearted view of cooking.

JAMIE OLIVER: "The Naked Chef" was also great because you couldn't help but be excited about what he was cooking because he was so hyped up!

MICHAEL CHIARELLO: I enjoyed show on PBS because his recipes were elegant, yet simple. He was laid back, too.

DAISY MARTINEZ: She always teaches me something new and has a genuine enthusiasm for Latin cuisine that she wants to share with the world. She reminds me of a woman who is "everyone's endearing, surrogate grandmother".

MING TSAI: I think that I'm in the minority here who doesn't enjoy Ming Tsai. My exact problem with his cooking show is that if I wanted to make his recipes, I have to make a master sauce or have a master ingredient and THEN continue making the recipe. To me, he comes off as pretentious and as a show-off--too flash for me.

LIDIA BASTIANICH: HER cooking shows have some tasty recipes and interesting techniques, but I don't like her TV personality.

Eating for Two: Peanut Butter Cookies

Being a peanut butter fanatic and a huge peanut butter cookie fan, I grabbed this recipe and went to work. My judging audience are the members of my Wednesday night "Pastry Meeting", and their reviews were mixed and surprising. Some that DON"T like peanut butter cookies LIKED these a lot, and others who preferred my version "without" the chewy aspect gave these a thumbs down. I myself had mixed emotions, but did enjoy the cookies. Thanks for a different take on a great classic.

Ok, I am from Eastern Massachusetts. We, and those in Rhode Island and southern NH and Maine, consider a milkshale to be milk and syrup processed in a drink blender, Thats is right, no ice cream!

If ice cream is added, it is a FRAPPE or, In Rhode Island only, a CABINET.

I feel sorry for those in less civilized parts who have never enjoyed a REAL milkshake.

I want to see this movie! In terms of milkshakes, up until the other day, I would have shamefully said I love Shamrock shakes....from McDonalds. Maybe it was something about them being around for a limited time but I used to love them, until I had one the other day and it was nastiness in a cup.

We had a Dip and shake party a while back and the shake part of it was all custom. I had fruits and candy bars and PBJ and desserts of all kinds out. Ppl got to custom make what they wanted. We had a PBJ shake made w milk. We had one girl do a white chocolate rasberry shake w mango top. We had an Elvis shake w PB and banana mixed w ice cream. But by far the best of the night was the apple pie shake. He took a piece of my homemade apple pie, threw it in the blender with a huge chunk of cinnamon ice cream. MY GOSH, it was so good!!

@PerkyMac: Heh. I'd probably have expired by now, dying from hypothermia. And I doubt I have the ability to metabolize that much lactose. I'd bloat-up and then die of *embarrassment* from the uncontrollable effects. LOL.

@Susquehanna..........after drinking all these milkshakes, your tummy should be feeling a might full and your brain frozen?

A caramel malt shake from Dairy Queen. Or a chocolate mint shake from Steak - n- Shake. We used to get a rootbeer milkshake from a small mom and pop place when I was a kid. They were great.

Avocado milkshake with vanilla ice cream. Creamy avocado, mmm... Sometimes added a handful of pistachios, too, for salt and even more fat.
