Thanks, Med!

I've made Coquilles Saint-Jacques before (NOT IN YEARS, THOUGH!! Too rich, creamy, fattening and enough of a cholestor-fest to clog your aorta in one bite! ) and other scallop recipes.

I was just confused at Me's term "dried scallops" like dried fish or something.

NEIMAN-MARCUS COOKIES(Recipe may be halved)

2 cups butter
24 oz chocolate chips
4 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated)
5 cups blended oatmeal
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)

Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine
powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs
and vanilla, mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt,
baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips,
Hershey Bar, and nuts. Roll into balls, and place
two inches apart on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.

The number ONE rule of cooking is THIS:

FAT EQUALS FLAVOR!!!

you heard it first from Siggy!

"you can call me anything you want--just don't call me late for dinner"

Yes! Fat=Flavor!!! I've seen the NM recipe before but have never tried it. Someone I know has and said they're YUMMY!!!

Well, these may be uh, "short" but at least the green tea in them is extremely good for you.

Green Tea Shortbread Cookies

Note: the preparation time does not include the time to chill the dough.

1 lb unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons green tea powder (matcha)
4 cups all-purpose flour
9 dozen small cookies

1 hour 2 minutes 30 mins prep

1. Cream butter in the bowl of an electric standing mixer using the paddle attachment; add confectioner's sugar and salt.
2. Sift together the tea and flour and add to the butter mixture; mix until just incorporated.
3. Roll the dough out to about 1/3-inch thick between 2 pieces of plastic wrap; transfer to a baking sheet and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
4. Heat oven to 300 degrees.
5. Remove top piece of plastic and cut into desired shapes; re-roll excess dough as necessary; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 16 minutes; rotate pan and bake for another 16 minutes, or until they feel firm when scratched with a fingernail; take care not to let the edges brown; matcha shortbread cookies should maintain their green color.
7. Cool, and serve with green-tea or ginger ice cream.

Oh those sound good! I might make them for a group of ladies I ged together with now and then.

green tea ........ewwwww

LOL I l ike green tea. And white tea too. As well as black tea. I just like lots of kinds of teas. I like lots of kinds of coffees too.

I hate the taste of all tea......love ma coffee though

And just today I read an article saying that coffee ISN'T bad for you, not like they said it was, and that it could help keep diabetes away (so seeing as how I am native and am at high risk for diabetes, that means I simply must drink more of it, eh?). They say up to four cups a day is good unless you deal with high blood pressure.

They also said tea is better for you, white tea being the best then green then black. But, they said if you prefer coffee that is not a bad thing.

I wonder what they will say next week?

I gotta have my coffee too, but ICE COFFEE??? EEEEEEEWWWWwwww....

How can people drink that swag? UHHHHH*hurl*

Oh well, I guess it's an acquired taste......like SPAM SPAMSPAMSPAM

Actually I like green and white tea too. Siggs, I like iced coffee once in a while. It reminds me of coffee ice cream.

It took a while to get used to the different teas but now I like them. I've even gotten to like SOY milk! No lie!

Sigh. If only I could give up my love of cheeseburgers or beer I'd be fine.

Siggs, we have something better than iced coffee out here called blendeds. You NEED to come here and have one. People in other parts of the nation don't quite have them down yet, but they will learn to make them better as time goes on I think.

thanks for the offer t, but the ONLY thing I drink that's BLENDED is Canadian Mist....OHHHHH! *lickie lickie*

did someone say Canadian?

uh oh....here it comes....HEL-LOOOOW CAN-A-DA!!!

sorry...couldn't help myself...
