Relocating them seems far better than killing them. And I highly recommend giving coconut oil a try the next time you make cookies. I wasn't at all sure it would work, but the texture was perfect, and the faint taste of coconut was delightful.<br /><br />DKoren -- the move is coming up far too quickly, and we're in danger of falling far behind. Exciting times. The cookie texture with coconut oil was very similar to ones made with Crisco--crispy and almost lacy.Morgan Richterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479288651753689466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75557205567764834.post-9071924532240869912017-03-12T09:07:22.358-07:002017-03-12T09:07:22.358-07:00wow, so exciting all the way around here! Can'...wow, so exciting all the way around here! Can't wait for the Duranalysis book!! That is an amazing gift of Duran stuff! So cool. Hope everything goes smoothly with your move. That's coming up pretty quickly.<br /><br />I also always use Crisco when I make chocolate chip cookies. Never liked the flavor of ones made with butter. I never would have thought to substitute coconut oil. Interesting! Might have to try that!DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75557205567764834.post-24004421516558589492017-03-11T17:00:13.682-08:002017-03-11T17:00:13.682-08:00*squees in pleasure for your Duran goodies* What a...*squees in pleasure for your Duran goodies* What a nice gift! And I'm excited to hear that the book is coming out soon.<br /><br />Everyone around me talks very callously about killing mice and insects rather than using better traps or putting them outside, so I'm very happy to hear that someone believes in at least attempting humane pest removal. ^_^<br /><br />I've had difficulty on and off with chocolate chip cookies; I've always used Crisco instead of butter and sometimes the cookies turn out, sometimes they don't. I've heard that sometimes it's the kind of brown sugar used, but I'm definitely going to try substituting coconut oil as well.<br /><br />I remember "Valerie Loves Me" from MTV's 120 Minutes. Ah, the 90's alternative explosion...halcyon days.Nonny Mausnoreply@blogger.com
