So. If you try to bake vegan cookies from a recipe, don't like the texture of the batter before baking and so add a bunch of flour and oil, then bake them and complain that they taste chalky and are too chewy, and write an article about how therefore vegan cookies are gross, you can get published in the Times! [link] (I very rarely actually stick to a recipe. But I wouldn't write a review of a cookbook based on my own modifications of the recipes.)
(Also, these are banana cookies. Of course the batter is going to be a weird consistency.)

Especially if it's a *baking* recipe and my complaint was about texture. I mean, DUH.
Just checked my hotmail, and I got the tickets. For five weeks from now, about. That was...really easy. LAistas, if you want to see Conan, take note!
Oh, god, that reminds me that my weird-eating sister is coming to stay with me for a few days. I guess we're going to eat pork the whole time. It's her only meat, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't do dairy. I think she does seafood, but I don't cook it in my apartment.
I have a bunch of cookbooks by those cookbook authors, and pretty much everything I've tried has been good. Usually, with the baked stuff, my only complaint is that they use way too much sugar for my taste. (Well, OK, that was also the cookbook where I got the recipe for those cupcakes that exploded, but I think I figured out that was my fault.)
she ONLY eats pork? is it just a taste preference?

She was completely vegetarian for a while for reputed health reasons (fibroids for which she gave up most everything) and then sans chocolate for political reasons. Now that she's fibroid-free she's integrated fish back into her diet, but not all meat because she's high on denial. However, pork is just that tasty.
But she won't even eat free trade chocolate, because of the denial tip again.
Exploding cupcakes?
There was supposed to be a dollop of jelly on top of each. I used too much jelly, and it sank to the bottom, boiled while the cupcakes were baking, and then exploded through the top.
But see - you can use that knowledge to make your own Vesuvius Cupcakes.
