What're you into, what're you looking forward to, what're you happy about?
Please
I am feeling terribly self-harmy in advance of my birthday next week
I got to the point of making a pros and cons chart
give me something to be vicariously happy about or something to look forward to, please
Oh, no , chili with mint is a separate thingie, I just wanted to test how hot and cold food feels together.
Figure chili would be too weird in a cookie. Although black pepper might work![curious-sickle curious-sickle](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0be0a09c-bf42-4f15-b8a4-706363b87564.png)
I’ll keep you updated![rat-salute rat-salute](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/94bcb899-8542-45fb-9dd7-b4a49a944346.png)
Nah usual ginger cookies, but because I have a small oven, I have to bake in 3 goes, so I try some stuff with them
your experiments sound fun, I'm excited to see what happens this weekend – thank you!!
Cookie report card:
Black pepper works, surprisingly nicely actually, feels like different heat than ginger. (A-)
Mint - kinda meh, cooling effect isn't felt. Althoug smell of mint is felt in breath/roof of mouth, dunno how to describe it, like after minty candy or toothpaste. Maybe i should dump a whole load of it, dunno. But very complicated taste. Maybe if i lost clove and got fresh leafs (or very strong ones) it could work.
(B, needs some work, likely complicated balance to find)
Have you created a whole new genre of cookie here?? I've never heard of a pepper cookie, but it sounds awesome and I'd totally try one.
🤩 I'm impressed with your ingenuity! I would never have thought of trying that.
I don't think so, in some recipes i've seen mentions of ginger cookies with pepper![soviet-hmm soviet-hmm](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/64a97867-ec59-45c7-b8e3-393e22befd28.png)
but it makes sense, ginger has some hotness, different from other hot thingies. Peppermint does as well, so its like
two spicy things, but differently spicy ![meow-fiesta meow-fiesta](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/709c2792-a659-48b5-b943-1d310260648f.png)
