I’m saving that for the holidays!

Kitchen Sink Cookies recipe from Simply Recipes.

Majestic Meow!

I will try them in my next batch.

This is all I could find that hasn’t been retracted (yet):

The quiet street where Robinson lived with his parents is now the subject of intense scrutiny. Officers from the Washington City Police Department kept media and neighbors on the other side of the street.

Neighbors were largely tight-lipped about the family, but many of those who spoke with USA TODAY focused on the family’s faith – they are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose members are known as Mormons.

And that faith helped lead to Robinson’s capture.

Great tip, thank you.

An apparent example of accidental lifecasting, the hole was described by The New York Times as "Chicago's Stonehenge".[2] Some neighbors and wildlife experts speculated that the impression was made by a squirrel rather than a rat, which was confirmed by a 2025 research paper.[3]

Fascinating!

Yes, it is the best pie! 🥧 Nice to meet you, lilith267. You are now my bestie.

I can’t remember having Thanksgiving without Shoofly pie. This must be a regional thing.

@[email protected] and I would like to take you to Leiby’s for some real Shoofly pie!

Claws are out. Release the bread!

Please feed Noki…NOW!

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Ever since Covid, my family and I have been exchanging food as gifts. Grocery-hopping to stores with empty shelves scared our grandparents, so a new family tradition was born.

These gifts consist of homemade pies, cookies, breads, pastries, dried figs from a relative’s tree, frozen chicken pot-pies, ginger marmalade, honey purchased from a family farm and bean soup in a mason jar (dry). A cousin who doesn’t cook will be gifting us with empanadas purchased from a co-worker; she’s very creative with packaging and makes her gifts look like they came from an expensive boutique. Our younger cousins are making soap, peppermint bark and sewing gift bags.

My brother is waiting for the price to drop on a certain wine. When it does, he pays a visit to the store manager who gives him a discount if he buys a certain amount. My mom is making her signature mini fruit tarts and placing them in holiday tins she purchased last year for about 50-99¢ each. She also wants to make madeleines.

This year, we’re adding DIY fresh fruit baskets at the request of our grandparents. The kids are getting money stuffed inside an origami frog (last year’s crane was a failure). I will be making several frozen lasagna (9x9) and mini loaves of banana bread baked in holiday-themed stoneware (very inexpensive).

My entire family would absolutely welcome you and your pickled okra; we don’t have a pickle guy. We have my uncle who made pickled bitter melon… it wasn’t bad.

EDIT: My dad made vanilla extract during lockdown, it took almost 2 years but it was a hit!

The only thing I (unwillingly) skipped was the potato chips. It’s hard to tell from the picture but my small salty pretzel 🥨 is there, LOL.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received a box of these cookies from Panera – they were delicious so I had to try and make them.

👍

To this day my ex still sings along “kissin’ the night away…” You made my night, OP. Thank you!

Excellent choice!

Shoofly pie comes in two different versions: wet-bottom and dry-bottom.

What’s the difference between wet-bottom and dry-bottom shoofly pie?

Wet-bottom has a gooey molasses layer at the bottom, adding more moisture. Dry-bottom is more cake-like all the way through.

The recipe below is for the wet-bottom Shoofly pie that I fondly remember from my childhood.

Oh wow, I didn’t know those guys grew on upper tree branches. Nice photo, thanks for sharing.
