Let me know how it turns out without the eggs - I haven't had a chance to try it that way and I'm curious.<br /><br />We get our eggs from a farmer we know and trust, which is easy to do in Wisconsin, so perhaps I don't worry about the eggs the way most people do. And to be honest, in my house these cookies don't sit around very long anyway. ;)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-52054218103886437732011-07-06T21:13:55.949-05:002011-07-06T21:13:55.949-05:00And for WendyB, who likes chocolate, I give you Sw...<i>And for WendyB, who likes chocolate, I give you Swedish Chocolate Balls, which is not a straight line at all.</i><br /><br />Uh huh. Sure. Shades of Schvetty Balls, that great holiday treat. <br /><br />Well, thank you kind sir. Chocolate is always an acceptable offering. Although I think I'm with the no-raw-egg crowd.

I guess after a while you forget that wheat flour has a taste at all, until it comes back to you that way.<br /><br />I got the same way last week with a pecan. We don't keep nuts in the house and I won't eat them if I'm going to see Tabitha any time in the next 24 hours, but with her gone camping with a friend for the weekend I bought a can of mixed nuts. I'd forgotten what pecans tasted like.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-85839334675930307112011-07-03T08:47:01.709-05:002011-07-03T08:47:01.709-05:00Speaking of gluten-free recipes:

It had something I didn't recognise in it: some sort of nut? There was a really yummy taste to these cookies. What was it? I took a few more bites, trying to figure out what I was tasting. <br /><br />My friend was confused. It was just a regular cookie: no nuts, nothing unusual. <br /><br />I was tasting the wheat flour.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013847036123410760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-85698248320729534242011-07-02T09:19:09.279-05:002011-07-02T09:19:09.279-05:00There are always cookies available in a properly c...There are always cookies available in a properly constructed life.<br /><br />And the Swedish Chocolate Balls, with or without eggs, are gluten free!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-65399564607343086592011-07-02T08:11:16.830-05:002011-07-02T08:11:16.830-05:00There are cookies available?There are cookies available?Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013847036123410760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-36164239066009376012011-07-01T21:27:23.577-05:002011-07-01T21:27:23.577-05:00Congratulations, Dave!

Since Nathan's already spoiled it, I'll ruin the rest of it: use the K-Bar to remove the string holding the honey badger's box closed. He'll be irate until you offer him some of the water. Once he's drunk his fill, point him in the direction of home and wait about fifteen minutes. Enemy positions will be cleared out in the honey badger's wake of don't-give-a-shit devastation.
