I was a vegetarian (eating the occasional fish) when i moved to LA and one day I discovered fish tacos. I spent the next 2 months eating exclusively fish tacos from every place i could find that made them. Being a new yorker, I had never heard of fish tacos, it was a very exciting time for me.
My favorites are Wahoo's and the Ahi burrito from Poquito mas...
Makes me miss LA again, you just can't get that kind of Mexican food in NYC.
i think it's time that meg goes metric.
Better yet, we should have all recipes in just metric.
These chocolate chip breakfast cookies are the most awsome cookies I have ever tasted, I am not a big chocolate chip cookie fan (maybe because I never found a recipe I liked!) I made these and now we can't stop making them! my husband me and my 5 kids are addicted to them. I always make a double batch. I think something about melting the butter and adding the brown sugar to it makes it taste like nothing I have ever tasted in a cookie. you can even over cook them and they still taste incredible! I will never use another chocolate chip cookie recipe.
I think the best is the Nieman Marcus recipe that circulates around sometimes---with the ground up oatmeal & chopped milk chocolate in addition to the semi sweet chips, brown sugar, etc. Scoop onto lightly sprayed pans, wet fingers & mash down slightly. If baked right they are the quinticential perfect crunchy around the outside, softer/slightly chewy in the middle.
I use Meg's recipe, slightly adapted for my sanity (I converted everything to weights and then rounded things up or down to make my life easier). You know what? It really is a mean chocolate chip cookie.
I have my own recipe, devised to have my favorite aspects of chocolate chip cookies: a little chew, a little crunch, and just enough chocolate.
Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't want to try every recipe I come across just in case they're better. I suspect everyone has a touch of the grass-is-greener mentality when it comes to cookies.
I've never found a recipe that works better than the Toll House classic.
The breakfast cookie sounds great, but instead of cranberries, I'd do dried cherries. Cherries & chocolate? Wow!
Anyone try Tia Harrison's "The Perfect" Chocolate Chip Cookies from CHOW?
Alton Brown's the Chewy. Best. Cookies. Ever.
I actually used this recipe for about a year...until I bought Baking Illustrated and was totally sold on theirs! It's much chewier (but still with a crisp edge), and I think that the flavor of the cookie part is superior. The instructions and explanation of the recipe are also, as is expected from the Cooks Illustrated crew, extremely and awesomely precise!
We all have our favorite, though, so no hard feelings :)
Meg's Extremely Precise made my eyes roll back in my head. I'm too old to learn this. Please, pretty precise and easy to understand is all I can handle.
I have to start baking and tasting. Wow, these all sound so delicious. Truthfully, is there anything better than a chocolate chip cookie? Ok, I hear you, but I'm talking about sweets here!!! ;-D
