hey bakers and pastry chefs: a reader wants to make my snickerdoodles less crisp and more chewy. I think adding more fat, not more sugar will do this but this is not my area.

ratio: 1/2 cup (55g) butter, 1 cup (200 g) sugar, 1 cup (140 g) flour, 1 egg.

I’m still looking for an expert on elderberry wine. can anybody direct me? This is when I miss the old Twitter. I used to get a reply in hours on a question like this.

I’m really disappointed. It’s going on a print! I’m determined to keep the information out there. Thanks for making the soup! We made it just the other night as well. But just for two, using three large onions, about the pound and a half.

Looking for an expert in elderberry wine, not a grower or winemaker. Anyone know anyone?

Thanks for all, scott. 🙏🙏🙏

Looking for a great Chinese food supply store in lower Manhattan. Any suggestions?

Thank you. What tools do you use to curate?

Really kind of you. Thanks.

Really unsure whether or not to commit to Bluesky or not! I really miss the old Twitter. And I can’t imagine Bluesky is quite the same. Would be grateful for people’s thoughts.

Looks like Bluesky is the way to go in terms of a Twitter replacement. Overwhelming support on my FB query. No more threads and no more nasty X commentary.
