My dad snarfed four of them, which is an extremely positive review coming from him.<br /><br />I used <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Oneida-Trigger-Cookie-Scoop/15149534">this cookie scoop</a> for the first time and honestly, for a single-purpose kitchen gadget, it's pretty handy. I mean, if you can get consistently-sized cookies quickly using a regular or a measuring spoon, more power to you, but if you're thinking, "Oh yeah, I spend forever spooning out my cookies and then no two of them are the same size, which is almost impressive considering that there are four dozen of them," this could definitely be an improvement.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=mayhap&ditemid=246077" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://mayhap.dreamwidth.org/246077.html cookery full public 3 https://mayhap.dreamwidth.org/237579.html Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:17:06 GMT https://mayhap.dreamwidth.org/237579.html <small>[Cross-posted from my email by request.]</small><br /><br />I had a cold last week and so somehow I ended up watching all 13 episodes of the new NBC Hannibal show.^{<small>1</small>} Some conclusions I came to:<br /><br /><ul><li>Mads Mikkelsen continues to be really gorgeous when he's evil, especially when he is also wardrobed in the world's best suits.<br /><br /><li>Hugh Dancy suffers incredibly prettily. Also his name is really fun to say. Dancy Dancy Dancy.<br /><br /><li>Hannibal is a terrible person, obviously, but he gives the best hugs.<br /><br /><li>Also the food on this show looks so good that I would probably eat it even if I knew that it was people. And, I mean, I'm not saying they all had it coming, but some of them were definitely rude and they should have made better life choices.</li></li></li></li></ul><br /><br />^{<small>1</small>}In retrospect, this is the other reason I didn't finish very many books in that week.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=mayhap&ditemid=237579" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://mayhap.dreamwidth.org/237579.html cookery television hannibal hungry public 2
