Oh, a Bill Forsyth thread a Bill Forsyth thread! But first I must discharge an obligation: Peanut Butter Cookies (Source: I have to confess: this is straight out of Joy of Cooking. What makes all the difference is the kind of peanut butter; see note at end.) Pre-heat oven to 375. In a small bowl, sift or mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar In a large bowl, beat until soft 1/2 cup butter Add the sugar gradually and cream (blend until creamy). Beat in 1 egg 1 cup crunchy peanut butter 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda Sift before measuring 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Add the flour to the batter; and add 1/2 tsp vanilla Roll the dough into small balls (use a teaspoon as a scoop). Place on a greased cookie-sheet; press each flat with a fork (dip fork in a bit of flour to keep it from sticking). Bake for about 15 minutes. A nice touch: press a whole or half peanut into the centre of each cookie before baking. Campaign for real peanut butter: Real peanut butter has NOT been "hydrogenated." Loblaws has always carried a famous generic real peanut butter, but under different labels; I think they now sell it as a President's Choicer, but check the label to make sure you're getting the non-hydrog stuff. Some health-food-store peanut butter is too virtuous to be tasty: often purists insist on using raw peanuts and no salt, and the pb therefore tastes pretty raw. Our local store sells great stuff, though; the peanuts have been roasted, and a little salt has been added. As always: seek, and ye shall find. [ October 03, 2001: Message edited by: skdadl ]

Oreos..you had to talk about Oreos...The winter ones that come dipped in white chocolatey stuff are fantastic. Double-stuffed are perfect for those of us who just eat the icing...(try explaining when someone finds an entire bag full of just the actual cookies) And my absolute favorite - oreo soup. Put em in a bowl, add milk, get a spoon, and voila. My husband thinks I'm insane and it makes for a messy dish afterwards but the oreo goodness is well worth the mocking. (You can't use double-stuffed, however - can't get the spoon through without breaking them apart then). [ October 14, 2001: Message edited by: machiavellian ]
