Features, Updates, And Other Changes

Within the last 24hrs there have been some changes going in here. Many of which have been behind the curtains with only minimal obviousness to the public. And most of the publically noticeable changes were in regards to relabeling items to the right, removing things from the right altogether, adding some new buttons, and reworking my entire blog roll and tag cloud. Blah blah blah yawn blah blah. They were just some house keeping issues that needed to really be tended to. There is a problem that I can’t fix however, and that is how your particular browser loads this blog. I had a handful of observations and complaints that it is “too busy” and therefore does not load right. So, I do apologize, I can’t fix that. I can say one thing, I use Chrome while on the PC or laptop and Chrome on my Motorola Android cell phone and I never, repeat never, have had an issue. Take into consideration that 98% of everything that is done here is from my phone and the other 2% is done from my tablet. No problems ever. I’m no expert but it sounds like a browser problem on your end. I have NO CONTROL of how anything loads up in your browser. Anyway, there has been an ass-load of updates to my blog roll, I have added many knew kick ass blogs. Understandably we all don’t have the same taste in what we like, but the ones listed are ones I really like. If you would like to drop me your link to check out please free to drop me a line here or an email, either way.

Scorpion Sting’s Crown Royal Devil Cookies

A while back I had this recipe which I was fortunate enough to have found in my e-mail. I posted the recipe with the statement that I was going to attempt them. Now, get this clear, I don’t bake, it’s not really my thing. But, with the aid of my 17 y/o daughter who does bake, I think we came up with a good cookie. Although, we made a few minor modifications to the recipe. If you are going to choose to redo this recipe then the choice is up to you if you do it my way or the way listed. Have both, my treat, do what you will. First, I must mention, my cookies did not turn out as advertised on the recipe, but that’s how they turned out in real life.

My list of ingredients:

• 1/2 cup melted butter (use real butter!)
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup Nesquik cocoa powder
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 2 whole eggs (xlrg)
• 3/4 cup Crown Royal Black
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp table salt
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
• 1 tsp melted Dartmoor Devil white chocolate

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix the melted butter. cocoa powder, sugar, and melted white chocolate. On the low-speed, add one whole egg at a time. Add the almond extract. mix in the Crown Royal. Add in the flour, baking soda, and the salt until it all combined and a smooth texture. Make 15 equally sized balls, roll them up in your hand. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil equally spaced apart. Bake for 13 minutes. Cool on rack and then enjoy. We didn’t wait as you can see. For those of y’all unaware of what the Dartmoor Devil White Chocolate is just do a search on my blog for information. Here’s a hint, it’s made with the Bhut Jolkia pepper. The original recipe is below.
