Tonight I made the rest of this weeks new recipe. It's a variation on chocolate chip cookies involving icecream. I discovered it on a great site called The Picky Palate...I plan on trying out a few of her other designs as well. My standard rule when trying new recipes is to first follow the instructions to the letter, then experiment with the next batch. For this version I experimented the first time around. The recipe called for vanilla ice cream and I went with Burgundy Cherry which uses an amaretto flavored ice cream. And it just now struck me that instead of vanilla extract I should've used almond extract. Oh well, I only made half a batch in case I didn't like it. Turns out I like it very much, the cookie and the smell of fresh cookie. Next go around, I'll use the almond, I still have it from the Amaretto Cake. And now I'm in the mood for Amaretto Sours.
I tried to think of what video would be appropriate to use with the cookies. And really, there's only one that comes to mind. I haven't found a non-embeddy version, so you'll just have to follow the link ....or not.
And just because Gene Wilder makes me think of this film I have to post it:
I laugh outloud every time I see or think of this scene....and then I get a little sad thinking of Peter Boyle & Madeline Kahn. They both made me laugh so much in my childhood. Here's a link to the Muppet Show she hosted.
Eric the Yodeling clam? Awesome.
My favorite Madeline Kahn moment: In Clue when Wadsworth is going through the scenario for what happen and give her a little fright. "Ahhhhhhhhaahhhhhahhhhhh," she said nonchalantly.
ReplyDeleteShe was wonderful in that film. I always liked the "I hated her sooo much...it, it, the, it, fla...flames..."
