I am...working this weekend. At 12:30AM Sunday morning. Yeah. Totally excited. You have no idea, really.
Aiee. Let me just finish up and get out of the office, okay? Lordie.
Some people juggle geese!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am...working this weekend. At 12:30AM Sunday morning.
Oh, dear lord...
I want to cry just thinking about that.

Suzi, there shouldn't be an issue from a coverage standpoint, but I could see issues coming up with figuring out providers and billing and stuff.
9am isn't too early to schedule a meeting for, like, normal people, right?
Hahahaha! I tell my people if the start time is between 6 am and 7 pm they should make every effort. Outside of that, to decline if they're not critical.

Oh, I've definitely had occasional meetings that are crazy hours--but usually due to "it's a meeting with China/India/crazy timezone issues". And given who I am, I much prefer it at 11PM to 6AM. :)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I spent today shopping -- I went looking for somethign to wear to a holiday party and ended up with two tops, a skirt, a cashmere sweater, and some new shoes. Woops. Well, I can wear the skirt & one of the tops to my brother's party, I think. And the shoes.
And then I went to Cost Plus and spent a pile of money on gifts & stocking-stuffers. But at least I finally got a topper for my Christmas tree!
Tonight I am resting my feet and reading; tomorrow I visit with my folks then meet up with P-C and a fan from SPN fandom at the museum, and then on Sunday I go out for dinner & to see Iron & Wine with Perkins, JZ, and megan walker! So I am having a very Buffista weekend.

If I want cookies to be crispier, should I add more egg? Decrease the butter? Just bake the hell out of them?

More butter, less egg I think.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Alton agrees with Brenda. He did an episode with three different choc. chip cookie recipes that addressed this issue. I didn't remember the details, but that's what the Internet is for!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, according to my chemistry-cooking book, use butter rather than shortening and cool the dough before cooking. High protein flour will also soak up the water and make it dry and crispier, and darker. Corn syrup (subsituting as little as 1 tablespoon for sugar) will also make a browner, crispier cookie. Use baking soda instead of baking powder.
