sweet, spicy, and sloth?

andes mint chip whoopie pies may constitute several of the seven deadly sins.  well most probably gluttony, greed, and lust.  and since i baked them a bit of pride, some wrath [as with all baking], perhaps envy if i dont share with my whole office, and definitely sloth after eating.  so there.  all 7.  excellent.

excuse the oversized picture.  i am quite pleased at how my candied ginger turned out this time and it is now resting/drying/cooling fully in the oven so i dont awake to a cat induced kitchen explosion.  and yes it definitely pays to cut huge [thin] slices of ginger rather than the little coins i attempted to do before.  and since i was nearly out of sugar i just dumped several pieces at a time into my sugar tupperware and shook the ever-loving crap out of it.  soooo much less messy than my failed sugar-bowl-dipping technique.

finally.  the laziest way to cook broccoli.  ever.  ever ever.  forever ever.

boil water.  dunk broccoli head in boiling water for 3 minutes or until brightened.  cut off florets.  eat.  the end.
