Those frames are super cute! I would love to make a simple entry table.
If i were to win a Lowe's gift card, I would make PVC bows with soft tipped arrows for my children. Every since the Hunger Games books, they are archery enthusiasts, and the pvc bows are the perfect starter sets because they don't hurt if you take one in the booty.

Thank you ever so much for this tutorial! I'm making a family tree picture wall and wanted to use some wood from my parents' old house and barn, but I'm so not a woodworker and for all the other projects I could find online, I practically needed a complete woodshop to do them. This is perfect!

Gifting a decorative picture frames is really a nice idea. I love to present photo frames to my friends and relatives on various occasions. Even better if Photo Frames are home made.
Thanks for the amazing tutorial. I used your directions to build a frame for my homemade whiteboard. Check it out at http://morethanamormonmom.blogspot.com/. I have a link to your site as well. Thanks again!
Nice job on the frames. I would make a planter box for the patio.
I would make a personal handmade gift for my son's new wife. A distressed look frame with following wording. "Our Daughter-in-Love. Welcome to our family. 8-03-2013″ Then put a black and white photo of her in her wedding dress in the frame and give it to her at our family Thanksgiving gathering.

Product Description
Note: Our level rating system is different than Hanayama's. Hanayama's level 1 is equivalent to our level 5.... level 6 is equivalent to our level 10.
The Radix is a puzzle known for both its monumental looks and somewhat organic styling and movements. The entire unit gives off an air of antique wisdom, with the pieces joined at the base in chaotic harmony. The name comes from the mathematical term, 'radical axis'; and also means root in Latin. The innovative concept that it is you might even be tempted to call it 'radical'. Whatever you call it, have fun. The key word here is 'sprout'.

One of my favorite Hanayamas of the ~10 or so I've tried. The solution is elegant and unlikely to be found merely by random fiddling, yet it's an extremely fluid and beautiful movement once you find it. As for the forcing mentioned by others, I believe that a key step in the puzzle can be performed in two slightly different configurations, only one of which requires a force. I solved it with the forced version the first time, but upon further study I found what I believe to be the correct solution, which is perfectly smooth. I would peg this one at the top of the Level 4 range for difficulty. Outstanding and beautiful puzzle!
I also need a bit of force at one point, almost everytime i'm trying that step; thus only four stars. I found easier solution for the last step than the one in hanayama provided solution.
Great puzzle! Probably the hardest of the 8's. It took me about 25 minutes, but people's minds work differently.Very smooth and fluid movement. Highly recommended.
Just like the Baroq, a true Akio Yamamoto masterpiece. It's way harder (IMO it should be 6/6 on Hanayama scale) but it has the same smooth, organic flow and looks. It's a very tough puzzle (physically), so it's impossible to break it during normal play. I have, however, experienced several cases when it was forced into a position that seemed a total lockdown (no further movements available). Luckily, I've managed to reset it every time. As the others mentioned, I too have an issue at one place, where it requires deadly precise moves or it needs to be forced.
It's actually quite cool, the only gripe about this, the thing is much more difficult to put back in the proper state. I got it solved fairly quickly, but it took 3x more time to actually put it back together properly. I don't know how, but I finally managed to do it with enough of monkeying around. It certainly looks good on the shelf, kind of a mysterious shape.
A wonderful and beautiful puzzle, however, there is more then one solution, I found the wrong one (the one not supplied). For even more fun, try to find the way to remove one piece before the other.
If you like Baroq then do yourself a favor and get this beautiful sculpture. A tough solve. Magical!
This puzzle is really nice looking, but like JohnnyZ I also found that it required a bit of force at one point. This detracted from the puzzle more than it did for Baroq.
A masterpiece of almost organic design. It is also quite difficult to solve. I had difficulty visualizing how it could even come apart.
This one should be rated at least to level 9. Really beautiful piece. And movement is unbelievable......
This puzzle was great! It was like the Baroq puzzle, but a bit harder. Also like Baroq puzzle there is a time where I feel like I had to force the puzzle, but I might not have had the pieces in the perfect angle or something...

We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
This quote is about soul
Search on Google Books to find citations of this quotation.
Aristotle (384 BCE - March 7, 322 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on diverse subjects, including physics, poetry, biology and zoology, logic, rhetoric, politics and government, and ethics. Along with Socrates and Plato, Aristotle was one of the most influential of ancient Greek philosophers. They transformed Presocratic Greek philosophy into the foundations of Western philosophy as we know it. Some consider Plato and Aristotle to have founded two of the most important schools of Ancient philosophy; others consider Aristotelianism as a development and concretization of Plato's insights.

Looks like the white iPhone 4 is roughly 0.2mm thicker than the black iPhone 4 released 10 month ago -- roughly 9.3mm to 9.5mm. MacRumors had this up earlier today, and I noticed it when my trusty Case Mate Barely There case barely fit on my new white iPhone 4. In fact, it fit like my old black iPhone 4 did back when it had BodyGuardz front and back. It still went in, but it was a much closer, almost too close fit compared to the black iPhone 4.
Apple's iPhone 4 spec page lists only 9.3mm as the depth for the iPhone 4, with no breakdown or difference given for the white iPhone 4. Whether the extra thickness has to do with opacity, a layer of UV protection, or something else is unknown.
I tried out a bunch of different cases and those that were just a tiny bit loose on the black iPhone 4 fit perfectly on the white iPhone 4 (like the CaseMate Chrome) while those that just fit the black iPhone 4 were just a tiny bit too tight (like the aforementioned Barely There). Given manufacturing tolerances, that might vary on a case by case basis as well.
Since the white iPhone 4 has the same antenna as the black iPhone 4, people in low signal areas with big watery man-hands are absolutely still going to want a case of some sort.
Here's what I've had a chance to test so far:
I'll update the list as I test more cases, and if you've tried any on your white iPhone, let us know how they fit for you.
Pictures of our measurements, taken at three points on both sides of a July 2010 black iPhone 4 and April 2011 white iPhone 4, after the break!
UPDATE: Apple's SVP of marketing, Phil Schiller, has denied any difference via a Twitter DM. [9to5Mac]
UPDATE 2: Consumer reports also claims to have measured both iPhone 4 colors and found no difference in thickness. [Consumer Reports]
[gallery link="file" columns="2"]
Omg seriously. Lol it's just a little bit thicker and it makes sense that's probably how they fixed the paint issue. My goodness what post are we gonna see next, that the battery last about 30 seconds longer on the white one then on the black. Lolol
talking about the thickness difference is perfectly valid. I wouldn't want to get a new white iPhone 4 only to find out that a specific case i wanted doesn't fit it snug, but instead so tight that it could possibly be worse for the phone that a help. There needs to be a little bit of give in some of these cases, otherwise the phone could break from the added pressure.
if your case is so tight it can't handle an extra 0.2mm then the case probably wont fit with a normal iPhone 4 that has a screen protector on it and maybe more like to give you glassgate... Incase Slider I'm looking at you
Rene, with all due respect, I think that if you tested and saw it fit, the headline, "probably" will fit is improper. If you have a case for an iphone 4, and you want to buy ANOTHER iphone 4 for the color, A. you have the disposable income to throw away on another case, and B. if you have an iphone 4, you aren't going to cover it up with a case. If i'm coming to tipb for information on this topic and you say it will "probably" fit? I'm going to a site that KNOWS if it will fit. I'm not going anywhere else, but some critique is all.
Why don't you just return it and tell apple it's 0.2 mm too thick. Maybe they will want to do a recall.
Can we say "Thickness-gate"
Hey Rene I appreciate the coverage of the white iPhone and your detailed investigation but little stories could be wrapped into one. Keep it up I want to know about this stuff
Rene, dude, I feel for you. It is so odd too that people just can't browse through a blog and skip what doesn't pertain to them.
For example, I was curious about this issue and read your article. I didn't need the whole thing as I am not in the iPhone 4 market, so I just skimmed to the bottom with your examples. Of course then you scroll to the comments and its all just internet attitude. My sympathies, keep up the good work!!!!
Again... U guys who have no interest in the White iPhone, or just think its a waste of time. very easy to just keep scrolling and keep your traps shut. Reading the dumb ass comments like "oh god is this news" and "omg what's next the battery last 30 seconds less" is actually more annoying. Clearly there is an interest in this topic. Your not interested... STFU and keep it moving.. Thank You TIPB for ALL your work on this subject..
This is a great story. This is essentially an iDevices fan site, it's the exact type of article they should be running. I loved the Royal Wedding post too!
Rene is easily the best Apple specific blogger out there IMO, because it's obvious he's enjoying himself/interested in the articles he writes.
Don't know how far does brazilian blogs matter to you all, but one of them(which I really trust) has compared both versions, and they are pretty much the same. Couldn't it be something related to the mass production factor? It woudn't make any sense for apple to change something like that, would it?
Good story. Don't like it? Ignore it. There are those of us who do care about the details whether or not we get a white version. Keep up the good work, Rene!
Why would you buy a phone BECAUSE it is white...then put a case on it?
Alot of the cases protect mainly the back and the sides and have a clear screen protector for the front.
You'd buy a case for the white iphone4 for the same reasons that you'd buy a case for the black iphone4:
1)To protect the device from cosmetic damage (scratches, dirt)
2)Device function damage in the event of a drop
3)Protect your 200-300 dollar investment (i.e. resale value is better if the device isn't damaged or scratched up)
4)Some are also purchased for aesthetic value
These are the main reasons that most buy cases for any cell phone.
If the White iPhone 4 is thicker than the black one so maybe it could be tougher.. Try test drop it.. Everyone want to see the result..
all gorilla glass can crack like n8 and iphone 4 if drop it a lot of time or hit it with a hammer..
I'm gonna point this out.... The white iPhone 4 has problems with the otterbox defender case. The proximity sensor wont work. You need to cut the clear plastic on the otterbox that covers the proximity sensor for it to work. It's a pain when ya spend a lot of money on something thats supposed to protect the phone
Yeah I bought the white Defender case and was told by Otterbox that the white case will reflect and interfere with the sensor... they sent a new one that had a black strip in the center of the sensor window but that didnt help. I cut out the plastic window and that still didnt help.... Ended up having to sharpie around the inside of the sensor window and now it works. I agree that Otterbox should find a better fix :)
Thanks for the info, even if minor! You think a silicone case would fit well? Not all are loose and easily stretchable. TPU cases tend to be tight. I have an Agent 18 FlowerVest right now, but wanted to try TPU. I'm going to guess the FlowerVest would fit since it's the stretchable silicone.
So... after 10 months of waiting we find out that "the hottie is a fattie" .... oh well... I guess that should make some happy.
Sooooo...... I guess we are calling this one CASEGATE?!?!?!?!?!?! and someone is going so try and be a smart ass and sue Apple because it doesn't say on their sight that its 0.2mm thicker?!?! >.<
Someone should sue you for saying "sight" instead of "site." XD
Well I bought an iPhone BECAUSE it was BLACK. Then put a CLEAR case on it for protection.....
While I certainly feel this is a story worth reading the difference in size is negligible. I suppose there may be some cases out there that may not fit but I have a feeling that won't actually be the case (no pun intended).
I mean do any of you complainers know how much 0.2mm is? It's MINUSCULE! Ever use one of those mechanical pencils? The thinnest one I've ever seen is 0.5mm and that is ONE THIN LINE.
That said I am sure every iPhone case manufacturer is desperately scrambling to find a white iPhone to test their cases so some moron doesn't sue them...... It will probably happen anyway. I give it.... hmmmm.... let's say...... 5 days before that story breaks.
They want you to buy a new case, just another way to make money. It's just like anything else that's upgraded, a few tweaks every few months and before you know it you have to replace everything you already have.
So it is true, black makes everything slimmer.
And with a vaja case is there a problem????
Regarding Vaja cases, I've had a couple and I'd recommend avoiding the light colored ones, they don't stand up as well to daily use as the darker ones. They're nice cases, but their durability isn't as good as the price might suggest. OTOH, their flip type cases provide excellent protection for the phones.
Take it from someone who has a lot of quality control experience, specifications aren't exact, they tend to be ranges. 0.2mm may be within the thickness specification range for an iPhone 4. If someone is really interested they should get a large sampling of both black and white phones consisting of samples from various production lots and start taking measurements. Or ask Apple. They might shock us and provide some of the spec ranges.
actually its not a waist of time since otter box its self are saying its cases will not fit the white ones because of the .2mm difference so thanks
Will an Otter fit? The guy at the AT&T store told me it would not fit. This is my first iphone and I'm scared to take it out of the house without a case. I've heard Defense otter is the absolute best case, but how does that compare to those you listed?
The white iPhone fits perfectly in my Element Case Vapor and Vapor Pro! I'd post a pic, but not capable!!! Shux!
I agree..................simple............learn to use the micrometer.......enough said..............DUH
Rene, thank you SOOO much for writing this article listing the possible cases! To all the imbeciles here who made fun of this article and the claim that there is no difference in thickness, I have actually tried it myself, and YES, my previous hard case for the black iPhone DID NOT fit well with the white iPhone 4. It snapped well and snug for the black, but when i tried it with the white, it couldn't protect the sides entirely (it couldn't even 'snap" or click onto the side of the phone). Why?? Because the white iphone IS thicker.
Appreciate you in taking time for writing this article, for the pics, and for the recommendations of which cases will go well with the white iPhone!
The new Otterbox Reflex case does not fit the white iPhone 4. The lady at the AT&T store actually tried to put it on for me and it would not even slide on.
bs. my white iphone 4 fits in my otterbox defender case just fine.
the issue isnt size, its design: for some reason apple decided to change the location of the proximity sensor in the white iphone 4, so while the case fits just fine it disables the sensor so that when youre talking on your phone the screen will not turn off so there is a great chance that your will hang up with your face. cmon otterbox, catch up...
The SGP Linear Crystal Series does not fit on my white iPhone 4. It slides in fine but when it comes to snapping close, one side just won't make it far enough to click.
I am using another clear case, which did fit but is very tight.
Will the griffIn survivor series fit the white iPhone 4?
yes, it fits in the only thing that is diffrent is the proximity sensor is moved so if its in the case during a call it wont sleep when u bring it up to you ear but other then that its an amazing case.
will the case-mate aluminum brushed case fit the white iphone 4s? if it is just a little tight can that cause any problems other than just fitting snug?
Could you use an otterbox with the white iPhone 4s?
Howdy very cool website!! Man .. Excellent .. Superb .. I will bookmark your web site and take the feeds also?I'm happy to find numerous useful info here in the submit, we need develop more strategies in this regard, thank you for sharing. . . . . .

Checkerboard Cookies
June 6, 2010 at 11:37 am 91 comments
Yesterday, for the briefest moments, it started to feel like June for the first time.
It's the last weekend before I'm done with high school classes forever, but rain has drizzled coolly for the past week. The temperature has dipped into the fifties, the wind has blown pine needles all over our damp cement patio, and the moss is drenched with icy water that seeps into your socks. It's June, and I've worn my red rubber rain boots to school twice.
But yesterday the sun was bright enough to warm up our garden bench, nestled between the spindly apple tree and the velvet plum-purple irises. The sky was the kind of blue that makes you crazy – "turn up the radio" blue, "now pull over and dance" blue. Thin clouds stretched out like ferns, and it made you see the sky's overwhelming vastness, a rarity in hilly Seattle.
On paper, my Saturday certainly wasn't memorable. I woke up and drove to a friend's house to work on our environmental science project. Then I drove home, had lunch, took some photos, and lounged outside all day. Somehow, though, it was one of the most perfect days I've had in a long time.
I drove home with music swirling inside the car like a snow globe of sound. I even honked at a cute boy on the sidewalk, and he winked at me as the light turned green. At home, my parents were working on the yard. My dad was up on the ladder, trimming the trees that tower throughout our backyard. My mom brushed up leaves and debris – under her watch, the yard is cleaner than my bedroom. I settled onto the bench and tried to write this post.
But it was so hard to be with a computer screen. I thought about everything but the checkerboard cookies. Like the lunch we'd had. Mom had made avocado and sundried tomato egg rolls, creamy and chewy and crisp. Dad came up with a cool Sriracha dipping sauce. I made a strawberry salad with home-grown chocolate-mint, lemon, and dark chocolate shavings. It's a meal I'll remember someday in college when I'm longing for home, with nothing to eat but a bruised apple.
I almost began to write something for 17 and Baking, but then the laptop died. And I could have moved inside, plugged it in, and typed it up at the dinner room table. But I closed the screen and pulled out my macro lens instead. I photographed the spidery veins of leaves, the peachy curve of a lily, and the tattoo of woodpecker drills circling up a tree. I stayed outside with my skin as sun-warmed as our garden bench until twilight fell.
This morning I woke up to the sound of splashing raindrops on our roof. I poured myself some cereal and looked outside – our stone path was dark mahogany and black, in the way that wet rock always looks richer. All of our plants were slick and alive. They stood up taller, leaves fanned out and saturated with color, quenched. When I opened the door and took a quick walk outside, it smelled green. Somehow, the rain didn't seem so bad.
Now I'm bundled in a fleece blanket, curled on the rocking chair, typing this. It's been too long since my last post, I know. But there is too much beauty in my life right now, in my family, in the garden, even in the moments of silence. These are the times I don't want to forget, down to the last drop. Even now, though the sky is like white paint and the house is cold as a carton of milk, life is perfect. I didn't do much this weekend, but the little things are making it extraordinary. The little things are essential to remember.
I've made these checkerboard cookies a total of four times – they're that good. The first time I made them, the checkerboard pattern wasn't quite even, but the taste! Buttery, a little crisp, a little chewy, and an indescribable flavor that came together like magic. I photographed the cookies, but I didn't like them. I made them again a month later, but the texture wasn't right. I'd somehow messed up. A third time, and they were still off. I'd messed up somewhere, and the wheels didn't all align.
But today, all the little things came together. My butter was at just the right temperature, soft enough to yield to a fingertip but cold enough to keep its shape. I used a ruler to form the checkerboard pattern and though it isn't perfect, I almost like the imperfection. And the photographs? The lighting was off the first three times. Yesterday I used the dragonfly-wing light on our kitchen counter and it was just right.
It's rare for me to make a recipe multiple times, but I know I'll make these cookies again before summer finishes. As simple as they are, they're unforgettable.
[PS: I know it's been a while since my last post. The last week of school, and it's catching up to me with finals and projects. Won't happen again over the summer!
Also, since I'm getting a lot of questions about it, I wanted to talk about college. Unfortunately, I can't reveal which school I'm going to (at least at this time.) It's simply an issue of privacy. Here's what I can say, though - it's a great school for communications in BOSTON! and I'll study to become a print journalist and writer, just like I always dreamed. In August, I'll move into my dorm and 17 and Baking will continue like always, from the City on a Hill. I'm starting to miss Seattle already, but I can barely contain my excitement about this next big step in my life. Thanks for sticking with me!]
These are one of my all time favorite cookies. The dough is so simple to make, and the checkerboard pattern, though it does take a bit of practice, isn't too hard. Once you've got the logs, the cookies are a snap to slice and bake. The result is incredibly impressive. People gasp when I open the cookie tin for them. The cookies are more than a pretty face, though. Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy I just cut the dough into squares and bake them. You can slice them thicker, for a slightly softer cookie with crunchy borders, or slice them thin for crispier cookies. I'm normally a chewy cookie person, but I love these thin too.
It's also worth mentioning that I LOVE this cookie dough! I almost, almost like it more than the baked cookie. This recipe makes a lot of cookies – 8 dozen, because it's easier to work with a large amount of dough – and yet I still sometimes snack on too much dough. It's always hard for me to save up enough dough to wrap around the checkerboard pattern for the solid border. If you think you won't be able to work with 8 dozen cookies, don't worry, you will. If you can't eat them all, you can also freeze the logs and thaw them in the fridge overnight prior to slicing and baking.
It's a little tricky to explain how to make. If you check out the original recipe on Baking Obsession, Vera kindly draws a diagram to explain the process.
Checkerboard Cookies
From Baking Obsession
Makes 8 dozen cookies
5 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 lb (2 cups or 4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, and then the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed to just combine (you might want to cover the mixer with a towel, some flour might come up.) Finish the mixing either with your hands or a wooden spoon, being sure not to overmix.
Divide the dough in two. You want these to be as even as possible, so I weigh my dough. It's usually around 25 oz dough in each half. Knead the cocoa powder into one half of the dough. Divide each flavor in half for four total balls of dough, two chocolate and two vanilla. Form each into a rectangle, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 2 hours (up to a day, but it tastes better if you only wait 2 hours.)
Take one portion of chocolate and one portion of vanilla out of the fridge. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften. On parchment paper or a lightly floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll out the vanilla dough into a 12″ by 5″ rectangle. Using a pizza wheel, knife, or bench scraper, cut the rectangle into nine strips, each 1/2″ thick. Repeat the process with the chocolate dough.
Form two checkerboard logs: delicately alternate chocolate and vanilla strips to form a three by three square. One log should go: vanilla chocolate vanilla, chocolate vanilla chocolate, vanilla chocolate vanilla. The other log should be chocolate vanilla chocolate, vanilla chocolate vanilla, chocolate vanilla chocolate. Press into the sides to make it as even a square as possible. Wrap with parchment paper or plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
Afterwards, roll the remaining vanilla portion into a rectangle of 12″ by 6″, about 1/3″ thick. Take the log with 4 strips of vanilla and wrap the dough around it to form an even border. Roll the log to press it in and define the corners. Repeat with the chocolate dough and the remaining log. Wrap the logs in parchment or plastic and refrigerate well, preferably overnight. You can also freeze them, then thaw overnight in the fridge when ready to bake.
When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat. Using a very sharp knife, slice the cookie-dough log into ¼-inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheet leaving about 1 inch all way around them. Bake the cookies, in batches, for about 12 minutes until firm and golden brown on the bottom. Don't let them bake for too long, or the color contrast between the chocolate and vanilla dough will be lost. Cool on the baking sheet on a rack for 15 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to the rack and cool completely.

these are so cute and congrats! boston is one of my favorite cities and you'll be a kick but journalist!
Congratulations on the college acceptance in Boston, that's so exciting! And those cookies are oh-so pretty! I'm basically in love with them :) But I'm sure if I tried to make them they wouldn't turn out near as good.
You finallyyyy posted these! I recognize the last picture :P
And it doesn't sound like you to honk at strangers boys! ;)
I love your blog so much and in fact I was so inspired by yours that I decided to try it out for myself. This recipe looks spectacular. Keep up the inspiring work!
Congratulations on graduating! I hope it cleared up in time for the ceremony.
Dear Elissa -
I just stumbled across your blog, looking for a recipe for a cake I could take to Yosemite for my dad's birthday that would be better a couple days after baking. As I read down your post I was stunned to see that you were a teenager. Not to be ageist, but I have lived quite a bit longer than you, and your writing voice – and baking knowledge – display so much wisdom. I am so moved by your writing, your passion for baking, and what you write about your family. I also have (had, she sadly passed) a Chinese mom and a dad who once baked (these checkerboard cookies were ones we did at Christmas from Dr. Oetker's cookbook). I now have a 3 year old and I hope he will turn out like you – someone who grows up amidst much love and warmth in the kitchen and someone with talent and passion. I am really, really impressed and inspired by you. Best of luck with your move East. -
Looks like you may be going to Emerson! I'm an alum of that school, and can say that the best part of my education there were the extra curricular activities. Make sure you stay involved! If Emerson is where you're headed, you're definitely going to have a great time.
Girl, you are crazy-talented! These cookies sound so yummy and the presentation is precious! Love it :)
I know what you mean about the weather. A Seattleite myself, it can be frustrating to endure these weeks of June this year that are as dreary and dark as a fall day. Where's the sun!?!?
Those checkerboard cookies look perfect, just as professional and neat as the ones at Ballard's Cafe Besalu–one of the best bakeries in the city!
What a lovely, sweet blog post. And those checkerboard cookies look amazing :)
Simply fantastic.
Evocative and beautiful post, with cookie to match! Gorgeous!!
welcome to Boston!
Hi Elissa & readers
If I wanted to use ginger instead of cocoa how much ginger should I use? Is there anything else I could use instead of cocoa, i'm not a big fan of chocolate. Thanks!
Oh man I've been reading your blog all day whilst bored at work (yes, when everyone else is off cause of July 4th!) and been commenting like a maniac and realize you're coming here!
I know how hard it is to bake during school since I recently graduated, but I hope you will be able to still find the time to keep blogging (will you even have access to a kitchen in your dorm?!) because your blog is amazing! I was going to assume you're attending either Emerson or BU, but err on the side of Emerson since you said it's a communications school. I studied communications at BU but did have a soft spot for Emerson
P.S. If you ever need to know where to find a certain ingredient, baked good, etc. feel free to e-mail me any time!
/End post.
these are lovely. i have made something like this in the past, but mine never looked like yours. thank you!
These cookies look so yummy, will have to try them sometime.
These look fantastic!
these look amazing!
I made these two nights ago to bring to my coworkers. They did not turn out as pretty as yours, but they were delicious! I had a lot of trouble with the dough not rolling out correctly and slicing the logs – the different layers would not stick together and kept crumbling. Did you ever experience this? Any thoughts on what I could have done wrong?
Thanks for the recipe!!
Looks very delicious recipe :) Thanks for sharing
Geneviève – I had the same trouble just last night. The mix was REALLY dry. I had to add another half stick of butter just to pretend to get through it. I refrigerated it for 4 hours and could not get it to come back to a normal consistency. I may try warming it later but I think my batch is entirely dead.
pictureinfinity & Genevieve – Sorry to hear that you two had trouble. My chocolate dough was dry, but not so dry that I had to add any liquid, and the two doughs have a great consistency. I wish I could be more helpful but I'm not sure how to guide you. :(

Thank you so much for this post. You inspired me to come out of my baking comfort zone (of simple oatmeal and choco chip cookies) and try to bake these cookies. I was sure it would turn out a disaster, but I was thrilled when I started slicing them and saw how beautiful they were! My whole family loves them, and they really boosted my baking self-esteem :)
Your writing is, as usual, spectacular. Its amazing that you're only one year older than me, yet you're so talented both in the kitchen and in writing/journalism!
By the way, this is probably my favorite post ever. Its so beautifully written and describes a perfect weekend for me. I love how you make the little things in life sound so wonderful and it just gives me a warm and glowing feeling inside. Thanks again!

I was surprised to see how much this blog entry relates to my own life right now. I became interseted in your blog because i too share a passion for baking. I am a senior in High School and graduation is fast approaching. I am planning to attend the Art Institute of Houston in order to continue my dreams of becoming a chef and eventually owning a cafe. Your passion for baking at such and early age is remarkable! I feel the same and love the fact that baking is something I will always have and that no one can take away from me. It's how I express myself, how I make mistakes and how I improve. Thank you for sharing with us the joy that baking brings to your life, it has and will inspire many of us.
P.S: Those cookies look amazing! Wish I could try one right now… -
