Right, because news the general public will vote up isn't exactly what is pushed in their faces by the television and cable industry.

If the vast majority of people didn't want their "news" spoon fed to them in tune with their own narrow world view, Fox News and their ilk wouldn't exist. You Tube news is just what most people THINK is news.

At least with Fox News, they'll actually give you the news. You just have to realize it's how they tell it that's wrong.

Here is everything my mother remembers about the recipe (and as it turns out, I was wrong about the oatmeal):

Marzipan Coconut Cookies

egg whites
marzipan paste
wheat flour
confectioners' sugar
unsweetened shredded coconut
lemon juice

1. Beat the egg whites until stiff.
2. Combine the other ingredients, then fold in stiff egg whites.
3. Form cookies with a spoon and bake.

The cookies should be golden but still soft.
Optionally, you could add a chocolate glaze to some of the cookies.

She doesn't remember the quantities of the ingredients or the oven temperature. I hope that's okay.

Someone at work brought these chocolate chip cookies in today. I asked her to email me the recipe since they were really good. So here you go...

Chocolate Chip Cookies
(makes 6 dozen cookies)

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, then set aside.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix powder until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets covered in parchment paper. Refrigerate dough between batches so the dough doesn't become too soft before baking.

3. Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Could be more or less depending on your oven. Edges should be golden brown.

Vegemite on a spoon???

Cultureless lot!

So Lev got a girlfriend now? good for him, but I'm guessing Tales of Mere Existence will change its tone, until they breakup and he gets depressed again

Also, food arguments can be solved with the Urban Spoon App.

what do you mean 15 years ago? the matrix only came out in.... aww crap.. now I feel old ....

again.

and Morpheus, it's a shame there actually was a spoon 'cos you seem to have been using one quite a bit

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the seat to get more legroom. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no legroom.
Neo: There is no legroom?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the seat that bends, it is only yourself.

Any "life hack" that involves using some more obscure tool to replace a common tool is a definite fail. You don't have a bottle opener (or a lighter, or a spoon), but for some reason you do have an eyelash curler (that you're willing to wreck)? I suppose maybe that's one of those things that lives in ladies' purses though.

there is no spoon
