News | Bakemonogatari Prequel Anime Is Greenlighted | July 28, 2010 |
News | Rumor Squad: Bakemonogatari Prequel, Sequel Anime? | Jan. 6, 2010 |
So, I always heard a lot of great things about Bakemonogatari. Well, in all honesty I can't remember any specifics about what I heard so maybe I should just say that I've heard Bakemonogatari mentioned alot around the anime world. Yep, I'll go with that.
So, Bakemonogatari is a pretty popular title around the internet but I never actually got around to watching it. I did watch Katanagatari, based off of a light novel by the same author, and I fell in love with it. When I heard that another series of his was going to be animated, I knew I'd be there day one. Well, that series is Nisemonogatari, a direct sequel which I believe is a direct sequel to Bakemonogatari.
This immediately brought up a problem: I've never seen Bakemonogatari and this is a sequel. The series isn't available legally on any streaming sites and I don't watch fansubs anymore so there is basically no way I'm going to watch it before NiG (my clever way of shortening all of these xgatari series). Would this be a sequel like Ghostbusters 2 where you really don't need any familiarity with the prior movie to pick it up or is this like jumping headfirst into Matrix Revolutions without having seen any of the other films? The mystery awaited me.
Well, less than 30 minutes ago I finished the first episode of NiG and here's what I thought. Now a caution: I have done ZERO research into the prior series so all of this is solely based off of one episode. Also, I'm going to try and present this as unedited as possible.
Ok, the first that hit me were the visuals. As you can see in the picture below, this entire part is shot drawn in super wide screen film aspect ratio. Additionally, there is crazy bloom lighting all over the place. I thought to myself, well even if the show is confusing and I don't get it, it is cool to look at. Outside of the art style, the animation is pretty nice as well and shots are framed up in pretty cool way.
So anyways, that was my "I've been watching for 5 seconds" thoughts. As for the situation, some guy named Koyomi got kidnapped by this cute girl named Hitagi. From the outside looking in, they seem to have some type of history. She seems a little off in the head and says that she loves him, but hey, women can be crazy, right? No real shock about any of this. So, there's some sexual innuendo going on between the two of them but she really seems kinda crazy in love. I thought this was pretty interesting to watch and it made me curious about what their history was.
Now, one very important thing that I feel should be brought up. This act also immediately brought the first episodes of KaG (Katanagatari) and Tatami Galaxy to mind for one reason: they talk... a lot. Well, no. That's not really why. They talk a lot in the first episode of Fate/Zero but it's not like this. NiG reminded me of those shows because of the speed at which they talk. Everyone speaks like the Micro Machines guy or the person at the end of a car commercial that turbo charges their way through what should be like 10 seconds of legalese in 2 seconds flat. It's not quite as bad as Tatami where I eventually just gave up and came to the conclusion that you weren't supposed to catch everything being said, but it gets close to it.
Anyways, cool segment. It got my attention.
So, somehow Koyomi is now in his house. I don't remember exactly how it transitioned to it and, keeping in line with my unedited style, I'm not going to go back for clarity. Plus, meh. I don't remember being puzzled at the time so I'm sure the transition makes sense while you're watching it.
Anyways, this segment I think this segment introduces Koyomi's sister Tsukihi. I don't really remember what her name was because #1 I'm terrible with English names of real people, let alone Japanese names of fake people and #2 everyone calls each other Oni, Ani, Nee, etc so it's not like you get the chance to have the named drilled into your head anyways. ANYWAYS, the two of them are talking and it really reminds me of, I want to say Tatami Galaxy because everything is really visually stylized. The house they stay in is very stark and they do a lot of cuts they keep what might be a boring scene visually interesting.
This is also where more anime tropes start coming in and the dialog calms down. Sometimes this stuff can make me groan but with this show, it grounded it more for me and put me into a comfort zone rather than making me facepalm. I think it's because I'm new to this entire world that obviously has a lot going on and if I was treated to another throw you in the middle of it scene I might have started to feel lost.
So as you see, we get some service and Koyomi calls up this chick who is clearly and obviously in love with him, everyone else on the planet seems to be aware that she is in love with him, but duh, he's totally oblivious to it all. It's executed a lot better than I may be making it sound and the oblivious to love thing actually made me chuckle with how they did it.
Also... dude was a vampire. I like how they kinda just casually through that in there in the middle of a nice scene between a teenage brother and sister.
At the end of the previous act, Koyomi decides to chill out with the girl who he doesn't know likes him. He invites his sister to come, but having a brain and knowing that the girl obviously wants him to come alone, she declines. So, on the way to ole girl's house Koyomi sees a little girl and goes on a Zetsubou Sensei-esque inner monologue of much debate, confusion and explaining (safe to assume these two have a complex history, although I incorrectly thought they were enemies at first) before running up and giving her a huge super duper silly hug.
Now, I'm pretty sure this girl is a vampire or some sort of monster since her immediate reaction to someone creeping on her from behind was to sprout claws and scamper up a light pole like a squirrel. This act is both my favorite out of the three and the most... what
would call "tricky" since Koyomi is constantly talking about how he wants to lick her or see her panties. It seemed weird and kinda out of the blue and I couldn't tell if he was joking because at some points the duo seemed like old friends catching up with each other and then in other parts dude is plotting to see her undies. Anyways, I had the courage to sit through and enjoy it for what it was.I got through the first episode and I have to say, I never felt particularly confused in a bad way. I don't know all of the character backgrounds and histories, but everyone's relationships with each other were laid out well enough for me to understand where they stood with each other, which I'm hoping is all I'll need going forward. If you've been hesitant about watching this without having seen BaG, definitely check it out.
I really love the visuals. The character designs look like a lot of other shows, but the art style, particualrly how things are lit and colored really stands out. I can't recall anything similar to it.
I also LOVE the shots that they chose. There are a lot of interesting angles with things overlapping each other to create visually interesting scenes that could potentially be really drab if and boring if done any other way.
The show has a lot of funny moments in it. The 4th wall is shattered multiple times and there a lot of subtle little jokes and lines here and there that you could miss if you're not paying attention, which I love but don't see enough of. It also has a few straight up you're supposed to laugh at this gags that are pretty funny as well.
Well, that's that. Definitely a worthwhile way to spend 24 minutes and like any good episode, it grabbed me enough to want to see what will happen in the next one. You can watch the series online via Crunchyroll at http://www.crunchyroll.com/nisemonogatari

Rhino Entertainment and Harmonix have completed a deal that will bring 18 master recordings of the Grateful Dead to Rock Band. This will be featured as an additional downloadable packet with songs such as:
(1.) "Truckin"
(2.) "Uncle John's Band"
(3.) "Touch of Grey"
(4.) "Sugar Magnolia"
(5.) "Casey Jones"
Paul DeGooyer, owner of Harmonix went on to say that, "Grateful Dead's unique fusion of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, and jazz challenged traditional musical boundaries and pushed the limits of creativity to produce a signature sound that is undeniably their own." Indeed, a solid commentary to back up their already revolutionary marketing ability and style.
With downloadable content of this magnitude coming to Rock Band, we could surely see some other ground breaking content packs. Stay tuned to PSU for further information.

Cycling Games now available in Spanish
Fun cycle training for Spanish-speaking children. The Danish Cyclists' Federations succesful concept "Cycling Games" is now also available in a Spanish booklet.
An analysis showed that in the Municipality of Horsens (app. 86,000 inhabitants), the percentage of children getting to and from school themselves was lower in 4 of the district's towns in comparison to the other schools. Now, the council has improved school routes in the 4 towns thanks to well-informed advice from its inhabitants.
In 2013, the Danish Cyclists' Federation received funding from the Danish National Cycling Fund and set out to investigate how to get people to choose cycling as their daily mode of transportation, and how to keep them in the saddle. The results are out now.
It isn't just car sharing that's popular these days. In the southern part of Randers, employees at schools and businesses have become crazy for sharing electric bicycles, which has got more people in the saddle.
How can you increase your city's cycle modal share? CED's new chairman, Marianne Weinreich, will address this question at an international seminar on cycling in Malaga in Spain by sharing the results of the CHAMP project.
Mutual gains were obtained when the Danish Municipality of Svendborg engaged in a collaboration with local high schools. Part of the purpose was to find solutions for specific challenges through collaboration with the target audience.
Marianne Weinreich, Vice-Chairman of the Cycling Embassy of Denmark and Head of Mobility at the Danish consulting firm VEKSØ, is sharing Danish bicycle knowhow at a mobility conference in Trento, Italy, on Friday February 20.
In 2009, pressed by the Danish Cyclists' Federation, a majority in the Danish Parliament set aside one billion DKK (app. 135 million Euro) in a national Cycling Fund. Now the money has been spent on 388 cycling projects with splendid results. Yet, a new five-year Cycling Fund does not seem to be underway.
On February 10-12, the Dutch city Leeuwarden is hosting the annual Winter Cycling Congress 2015. Ole Kassow, initiator of the Danish success-concept: Cycling Without Age, is sharing his experiences driving a bicycle project in the winter months.
CEO of the Danish Cyclists' Federation, Klaus Bondam, reviews Copenhagen's new city bike the "Gobike".
Despite an increase in cycling in the Municipality of Aarhus, bicycle theft has decreased from 6,930 thefts in 2011 to 4,894 in 2014.
Children learn best through play. This goes for cycling as well. So, the Danish Cyclists' Federation is thrilled to announce that they have been granted funds to co-finance the construction of 10 permanent bicycle playgrounds around Denmark over the next three years.
A sense of community, competitions and prizes motivate cyclists to go for more km. According to the results from a local bicycle campaign in the Municipality of Randers in Denmark, 47 % bike more than usual when using the cycling app.
Denmark's second Cycle Super Highway has made 52 % more commuters choose the bike over the car says new report.
Lower speed limits mean less accidents and casualties. Still, Danish municipalities have struggled to lower speed limits to 30 and 40 km/h. But now it looks like the wind is changing. The Danish Parliament has changed their tune, and results from a pilot project support the case for lower speed limits.
Copenhagen's cyclists took in a new cycle short cut this week as the City of Copenhagen officially opened two new bicycle bridges.
Vice-chairman of the CED, Marianne Weinreich from VEKSØ, is joining the STARTS School Travel Conference in London on January 15 to share best practice examples of school cycling in Denmark.
After four years of construction, Copenhageners can finally start using the new "bicycle beds" at Nørreport Station.

I think you left out the butter measurement :)
butter 0.75 = cup 3/4
I just made these. I did not wait the 5 minutes before spooning out. They are very well formed and delicious as they are. I used the pumpkin pudding mix. Also sometimes the weather has a lot to do as for no bakes setting up. I never make no bakes on a rainy day. Thanks for the recipe definitely a keeper
Thank you for this tip! Great to know! :-)
Also don't make rice krispy treats in very humid weather..
I totally made them on a rainy day. Wasn't thinking about the weather, and it was so dreary that I just wanted something really homey. But they still taste amazing :)
how much is 0.66 cup of milk for the no bake pumpkin oatmeal cookies thanks
That would be 3/4 cup butter or 1 stick and 1/2 of another stick.
Will be trying these tonight and linking up to my blog. These look so good! I'm on a pumpkin kick too. Thanks for sharing!!!
Where do I find the instant pumpkin spice pudding mix? Is there a brand?
Jello just came out with pumpkin pudding, its really good! You can use it in this receipe!
I found it at Walmart
I always find the pudding mix at walmart, should be out next month
Walmart had the pumpkin pudding back in Sept. I bought 24 boxes and took 24 boxes back. I'd rather now get the vanilla and add the pumpkin spice. Can't be any worse. BTW…. haven't seen it at walmart again since.
These look awesome and I would love to make them for my son for after school…do you think I could sub applesauce or honey for some of the sugar, or would that affect how they set up?
Jen you can def use applesauce. It's delish!
I made these and my kids loved them, but the second time I made them I added a banana, works great and it's tasty :)
I made pumpkin banana oatmeal cookies and they were great. I replaced the sugar with Stevie and some brown sugar and honey. They were wonderful. Afterwards I decided to cut them in forth as pumpkin bites because they are rich though not overly sweet. Are also great for breakfast bites.
Subbing a liquid for a solid will definitely affect set up. Prob use less of another liquid if you use some liquid sweetner
I saw this and was so hoping it had real pumpkin in it. That would make a healthy breakfast "cookie"! Maybe I'll try it that way.
I was hoping so too! If you try it, please post results!
I am going to try these asap! You know that, logically speaking, using pumpkin in the recipe "should work" in place of part, or all of, the peanut butter in the original recipe because the base is essentially the same as regular no bakes except for using brown sugar in there as part of the base. I think that I would also use the pudding mix because it is what would help flavor and "set" the cookie up. What a wonderful idea for pumpkin!
I did make this recipe, adding 1/3 cup canned pumpkin to it, as no store around me had the pumpkin pudding mix. It made the cookies a little gooier that I like, but they eventually set up fine. Next time I will reduce the milk slightly to offset the extra moisture from the canned pumpkin.
I am not one for making home baked cookies, however I too love pumpkin and these looked easy and delicious! I made these cookies this morning and have a few suggestions. I followed the recipe, however the cookies are overbearingly sweet! Since the instant pumpkin spice pudding mix has sugar in it, I don't believe you need 1.5 cups of white sugar and .5 cups of brown sugar. Since I'm not sure which sugar was the issue, I suggest you begin the recipe by melting the butter and milk and then add the pudding mix. Taste the mixture and if you believe you need more sugar, then add it by taste test. Or begin with only 0.5 cups of white sugar and 1/3 to 1/4 brown sugar.
Oatmeal cookies are typically not this sweet and I feel it's also too much sugar for children. I am a huge lover of sweets and even this was too much for me. If I make it again by switching it up a bit, I'll be more then happy to let you know how it came out!
use sugar-free pudding then, you have to have sugar for it to set up. No bakes are sweet that is just the way they are.
Hi Melissa, I know your thread is two years old but thought I would reply because I just made this recipe and I completely agree. WAY too much sugar. I boiled the mixture for two minutes at a rolling boil once it began and the cookie end result seems kind of grainy and way too sweet :( I'm really disappointed as I was so excited to make them. I'm going to pawn them off on my husband's co-workers as they love whatever he brings in! :)
I am going to make these but can't use the pudding mix because it has hydrogenated oils in it and I won't eat that or feed it to my family. To make anything a pudding, just use modified corn starch and I'll try the real pumpkin also.
IngredientsNon Fat Milk, Water, Sugar, Modified Corn Starch, Vegetable Oil (contains one or more of the following: Palm Oil, Partially Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Sunflower Oil, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Less than 2% of: Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Artificial Flavors, Color Added. CONTAINS: MILK
I completely agree with you on the pudding mix. We also choose healthy options for our family and little ones. There is also quite a bit of sugar in these.
And just about zero pumpkin
I just made these using the advice of Melissa. I used 1/2 cup white and 1/4 cup brown sugar. I used sugar free cheesecake flavored pudding (what I had on hand) and extra pumpkin pie spice. They turned out great! Yum!
I made these and they were very good. I used 1 cup of white sugar vs. the full amount and will probably use a little less next time. I was just curious if I did something wrong because they were soft and not did not harden at all hardly. Are they supposed to be that soft and mushy? Taste was good but the texture surprised me. Thanks for your insight.
I think the consistency has something to do with the sugars because I had the same issue the second go around (when I cut out all that sugar). I baked the second batch to harden them.
Alot depends on the temperature outside. To much humidity and they will not set correctly, they will be soft and kind of mushy, sticky.
On the standard no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, you can get the hardening just the way you want it if you want to do the soft or hard ball test. Put a drop of the boiling ingredients in cold water and keep testing until it is hard ball. Brown sugar makes it softer than white. Sometimes I will make them softer but it is harder to execute.
I tend to want the pumpkin in there too, will have to work on that… -
I saw one of the other posters said that they were a little too sweet for them… I'm a beginning no-baker, so this might be a stupid question, but do you think you could eliminate some of the sugar and substitute some flour instead?
Not flour but maybe a little cornstarch mixture
No.no bake cookies don't use flour. You can decrease the amount of sugar but don't add flour. The sugar, boiled properly, caramelized and sets up the cookies. Boiled too long they are crumbly. Not boiled long enough they are runny or too soft.
Hi Lisa!
I was super excited to find your recipes as I love no bakes but my kids are allergic to peanut butter. I was thrilled to see this recipe did not require any type of nut butter. I made these today and they are a wonderful fall treat. would you mind if I shared this on my blog as long as I posted a link back to this link?
Amber Mullins-
I make no bakes all the time with no peanut butter! I just increase the amount of oats I use. :-) they turn out pretty awesome too!
After reading the comments about the trials and tribulations regarding the sugar, I tried this recipe last night with honey to see if I could have any luck.
I completely left out the 1.5 cups of white sugar and just boiled the butter, brown sugar, & milk (I used vanilla flavored almond milk for more natural sweetness & flavor)
After adding the pudding mix (I used french vanilla pudding mix with 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice), I added about 2 tablespoons of honey. I mixed that well together before adding in the oats and everything hardened & held together perfectly!!
The cookies are to die for – just the right amount of sweetness and a little healthier than using white sugar. I will definitely be making many more of these with honey!-
Perfect! Thank you!!
How much honey did you use? Did you use 1.5C to replace the sugar or less? I was looking at the recipe and as much of a sweet tooth as I have it just looked like way too much sugar even for me. Plus I'd love to send some with my kids in their lunch boxes.
I tried making these, following the directions exactly, and mine never hardened. They are just a bowl of mush??? Are you suppose to prepare the pudding mix?? I just dumped the package in. Just wondering what I could have possibly done wrong??
That is just the way of no-bake cookies. If it is humid out boil them longer or use a candy thermometer to gauge the cooking time. After a batch or two you get a knack for it. Unless your my daughter and then no-bakes are off limits!
I made these and though they are a bit sweeter than my family likes, we still loved them! We would eat just one and then wait awhile before we ate another! So maybe that is a good thing! Now that I want to make more, I can't find the pudding. Problem with living in a small town is not being able to find all the ingredients you want, or once found, may never find them agaiin! LOL!
If you use the pumpkin spice pudding mix do you also add the 1 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice or can this be omitted?
Lauren, when you substituted with honey, how much did you use? Still the 1.5 cup in lieu of white sugar?
I only used about 2-3 tablespoons of honey because it's much more concentrated than white sugar. Just that little bit helped hold everything together nicely in lieu of the sugar, I had no trouble with the cookies hardening.
Can I use pumpkin from a can and omit something else??
[…] or treat and it will be ready for you when you get home! These No Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies by Once a Month Mom are perfect to prepare and sit aside while you take the kids trick or treating and it will be done […]
Made tonight and used Lauren's substitution of honey! Hubby said really good! Planning on giving them to my sister-in-law when they stop by with our niece. I like to give them something besides only candy. Thank you for sharing!
Is there a way to substitute real pumpkin instead of the pudding mix? I am a beginner baker, but would love to make these with what I have on hand without going back to the grocery.
I made these tonight and they are very good! I used honey instead of the sugar and they turned out delicious.
{Also, jello brand pumpkin spice pudding mix does not contain milk or any hydro oils so you may have been looking at a different brand}
I don't think boiling for only 2 minutes is enough. I had to toss an entire batch because they didnt set. When I have made no bakes in the past, I have always boiled for 3 minutes. Maybe shoot for a longet boil if I make them again.
I always use a thermometer when making no bakes,you must heat the sugar mixture to 230 degrees or the cookies will not set.
I love these, but I never boil the mixture for more than 1 minute. I have a gas stove and if I boil it for the required time, the cookies crystalize. I wait for the mixture around the edges, not in the center, to get a good boil going and then time it for 1 minute. Also, I don't use the brown sugar at all. I use 2 c. white sugar. Absolutely delicious and perfect every time. I'm wondering if the gas stove has anything to do with it.
Your method is very true to the traditional chocolate no-bake cookie. I have never boiled over 1 min either but you do have to get a good rolling boil before starting the timer.
[…] No Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies […]
Usually no bake cookies depend on cooking time & mixing after removing from heat. Some rec. tell you exact min to stir the mixture. almost like a fudge. Also there is no peanut butter to mix in that adds time to mixing ingredients. The honey addition sound the way to go 2 cup of sugars is just over the top to me.
I have had trouble with no bakes setting if I used a sugar blend instead of regular sugar.
what is the measurement for the brown sugar. You have 0.5 cups.
Thank you -
Melissa, these look delicious and I can't wait to make them. I make a pie with the Pumpkin Spice instant pudding. Use a pkg of the pudding, 1/2 cups milk, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Whisk together. Then fold in an 8 oz carton of Cool Whip (I use Light Cool Whip). Pour into a graham cracker shell and refrigerate at least 2 hours to set up.
**oops that's 1 1/2 cups milk, not 1/2 cup. Almond milk would work too.
Lisa, what size graham cracker pie crust do you use? A 6 oz. or 9 oz.?
I want to try this pie! Thanks for sharing!
My boys & I just made these. I subbed vanilla pudding mix & (homemade) pumpkin pie spice-because that's what I had on hand. Super easy & the kids love them. Thanks for the great recipe!
TIP: If you ever try to make these on a cloudy or rainy day they will not set up.(typically they are the same concept as making candy or caramel popcorn). You might try cooking them longer. Just an FYI
Can you use pumpkin puree instead of the pudding?
Any suggestions if they have completely cooled and have not hardened? I followed the recipe exactly how it says. Thanks
I found the pumpkin pudding at Big Lots…
How do you think banana pudding would work as that is all I have. Thanks
0.66 to what cup?
Is there a sugar free substitute that works for these? My husband is a diabetic or does it not work with sweetners?
This can also be made with any instant flavor, just don't add the pumpkin spice to it. My kids love these with Butterscotch flavor. I have found that parchment paper works better.
The reason everyone has issues with the cookies not hardening has to do with the cook time. It is extremely important the ingredients are boiled for 2 minutes, or until they reach the soft ball stage. The heat changes the chemical structure and allows the cookies to set up. Don't add flour unless you plan to bake them.
Hope this all helps! -
I'm so excited to make these. I'm curious what the shelf life is? If I make them tonight or tomorrow night for a Saturday tailgate, do you think they will last and taste as good? Just curious……
I made these with half the sugar boiled three min. And used white chocolate pudding. They turned out great.
what is white sugar ? is it different than regular granulated sugar ?
I want to make these really bad but cannot figure out the measurements even with the chart!! Please help!! Thank you.
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup milk
1 (3.4 oz) box instant pumpkin spice pudding mix (if you can't find sub vanilla pudding & 1 TBSP pumpkin pie spice)
3 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Well…I tried it with pureed pumpkin…about 1/2 cup. I used the same amts of milk,butter,vanilla,pudding,oats, and spice, 1/2 C sugar, 1/4 C brown sugar,and 1 TBSP of honey. I did boil it to 210 degrees by candy thermometer, although I think 200 would have been sufficient. It set up well…I thought they were going to be too crumbly..but no, they were fine.
These are awesome ,Every one love them. Thanks for share them.
Can you tell me what .66 cups milk is in oz? Thank you
I know it says to use quick cooking oats. but if you don't have them and only the old fashion do you think it will make a difference?
Mine tasted sugary for some reason after they set up and cooled, other than that I loved them!
Made these using Jello pudding, Cheesecake flavor. Delicious tasting – however, they did not set up very well (rainy day!). Seemed to be too much butter – chocolate no bakes have only 1/2 C. Next time I will reduce the butter to 1/2 C.
Since I've been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetics, I've been searching for recipes … This was a great one! Substitute stevia for sugars and use sugarfree pudding! Yum!
It helps to use a cast iron skillet versus a saucepan. You have to let the mixture rest for 5 minutes because it takes time for the oats to absorb the liquid…the mixture gets thicker the longer it rests, thus, the cookies set up better. Use unsalted butter, not margarine. They are yummy!
Made these using Jello vanilla pudding and pumpkin pie spice. I cut the white sugar to 1 cup and followed the recipe except boiled the mixture for 3 minutes. Set up fine and taste yummy!

Okay — if you get sidetracked and return to find a "firmed up" mess; don't panic, just warm up in microwave and then add some additional milk and stir up real well until you get a shiny mixture. Then drop onto wax paper! Mine are perfect after setting-up overnight — I started making late in the day.
[…] No Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies […]
These are fantastic!!!! I wanted to make extra but I didn't have another vanilla pudding mix so I decided to make it with chocolate pudding mix and let me tell you it's DELICIOUS!!! had issues with them sitting properly because of high humidity.
Do you need 1 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice plus 1 tbl. Pump. Pie spice also?
I have never made "No Bake" cookies before and wondered about the milk. Is it possible to use either dried reconstituted milk or canned evaporated milk or coconut milk? My hubby is allergic to fresh milk.
Thank you -
Has anyone tried using pumpkin butter??
Can you substitute the butter for fat free yogurt? Or something else less fattening? And use real pumpkin instead of pudding? Thanks!
How much milk in oz. Please.
2/3 cup of milk
Where is the oatmeal? The recipe I see has none??
What can be substituted for instant pudding? I don't use instant because of all the chemicals. Thanks!!!
To those people who are concerned about all the sugar, etc.: 'No-bake cookies' are really more of a candy (think fudge) than a cookie. (They are definitely not like a traditional oatmeal raisin cookie.) And, as others have said, the white sugar is necessary to get them to set up. I have not made these pumpkin ones yet (but I plan to!), but I have eaten/made the chocolate ones for 55 years. I use old-fashioned oats in mine. I like the texture, and the feeling that they are slightly more healthy. I would like to try adding actual pumpkin to this recipe. Can't wait to try them!
Thanks for this information. Planning on making these but was completely expecting a cookie result! Good to know this now so I can adjust my expectations rather than be upset at the results. What are your thoughts about the humidity factor? Many have said not to make on rainy or humid days….maybe I should just wait….
Do you add pudding mix dry or do you follow directions on pudding box?
hi I make original no bake cookies with the unsweetened cocoa was wondering can I take out the cocoa and add the pumpkin pie spice and make them that way?
I did not find pumpkin pudding mix. Then realize I was out of pumpkin spice, so I made real pumpkin spice with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. SO GOOD!! Such a delicious fall twist that I never would have thought of on my own.
I am waiting for someone to offer up an answer to Shari's question. I too don't use instant pudding because of the non natural ingredients. Any ideas? Thanks!
I want to know if I can make regular no bake cookies and omit the 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa for pumpkin pie spice and do I use 2 tsps? I am definitely making these from your recipe today!!
Has anyone used almond milk?
You will get better result if you use pure cane sugar. That goes for any time you make confections. I can't explain the chemistry, but pure cane sugar works much better. The candy or confection will set up better than if you use the other kind of sugar.
I couldn't find the pumpkin pudding either so I used coconut cream pudding and omitted the pumpkin pie spice. They were incredible!
Can you use a pumpkin spice cookie mix for the pudding mix?
Can the milk be substituted with almond milk?
Not a huge fan of pumpkin but what sounds delish to me is either a vanilla or caramel no bake.any ideas on a recipe for that. I'm truly a beginner.
How long does it usually take to set and become cookie-like? I followed all the directions to the letter and it's been about half an hour but they're still soft and tacky. Did I do something wrong?
being a not very bright 73 yr old, I don`t know how to convert the amounts that are shown in the receipe. could they be put in u.s.a. measures? would greatly like it. thank you, this great grandma wants to make them.
Just wondering if anyone knows if I could use coconut sugar in place of both the white and brown sugars? Has anyone tried yet?
can u use margarine
Im really looking frwd to making these. From reading all the comments,& being an RN, I plan to use raw coconut sugar, sugar in raw or bown sugar & Honey. With mult concerns about healthy alternatives, surpried no one mentioned coconut oil for butter. Has anyone had any success with this sub? When mixed with others, often, my fam doesnt seem to mind. We dont use butter much anymore. Thx in advance for any results/suggestions with this heart healthy sub:)
I made these, they are yummy, but too sweet…all I can taste is sugar and the spices. I don't taste pumpkin at all. Next time, I will use canned pumpkin instead of the pudding.
Delicious!!! These were such a hit at my friends birthday party!! Thank you! I would like to play around to add some more pumpkin flavor but overall easy and yummy!!! Linked to my blog! :)
justjess.belsterling.com -
Awesome recipe. Once I figureout the measurements. Lol
These cookies tasted wonderful but were sticky. What do you recommend?
I am sorry. I love pumpkin, but I thought these were terrible! I looked back to make sure I used the right ingredients and I did. I thought they were terrible, didn't even taste like pumpkin! I would say don't even try. Really. );
These look amazing. My daughter loves no-bakes, and anything pumpkin. I can't wait to try these.
I am so excited to try these. If you make them on a rainy day and they are too soft—pop them in the freezer. Then set how many you are wanting to eat—a few minutes before to thaw a little—otherwise they are hard as hockey pucks.
These are delicious! My kids, family, and co-workers gobbled them up. Had to make a second batch the next day!
Why do you have so many pages print out instead of just the recipe?
I made these last week and they were ahead at a benefit dinner.now I want to make them again but I do not have quick oats all I have are old fashioned oats can I use those instead
I mean a hit

Halsey 'Sent To Coventry' By Premier League
Controversial referee Mark Halsey has seemingly been relegated from the Premier League to League One duty.
Halsey has been on the front pages of the newspapers because he did not send off Callum McManaman for his horror tackle on Massadio Haidara in the Wigan-Newcastle game on March 17.
Probably to keep him off Match Of The Day and the critics, he will not referee a top flight game this weekend.
This is the first round of PL matches since the McManaman incident, due to the international break, but Halsey will be on the whistle for Friday's League One game between Coventry and Doncaster.
Halsey claimed a 'blocked view' for his decision not to issue a red card to McManaman, but because one of his two assistants saw the incident, retrospective action could not be taken under the FA's current disciplinary rules.
Halsey will be the fourth official for Reading's trip to Arsenal on Saturday.

The Taiwanese animation recap of the Seahawks, SuperBowl-winning game has Michael Bennett on a BMX bike doing a wheelie hop on Aaron Rodgers gimpy calf. It's epic and seen at 1:52.
In a Hollywood, storybook ending to a game that returns them to the Superbowl for the second time in a row, Bennett celebrated by taking a cop's bike and riding around the field. The fans went nuts, we went nuts at the La Ronde bar, all of Seattle celebrated, and for a time, Bennett's bike ride trended.

He probably could have ridden that bike all the way to Super Bowl XLIX. – Jerry Brewer, Seattle Times.
NYT summed the game up the best
After a 1-yard touchdown run by Wilson cut the Seahawks' deficit to 19-14 with 2:09 left in the fourth quarter, after Matthews fell on the ball, after Marshawn Lynch scored from 24 yards out to put Seattle ahead, and after Crosby made his fifth field goal of the game to force overtime, Seattle won the coin toss, and that was that.
About the ride Bennett said, "just took it. You go to the Super Bowl you can do anything in this city."
For his next ride, got to get him a Seahawk's bike, like this one. He's got three more at his house.

Military looks for Humvee successor
The 'jeep of the future' is expected to be safer for troops and more fuel efficient.
Andy Nelson – staff/file
The military is on the hunt for a new jeep to replace its cold war-inspired Humvee.
The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, or JLTV, will have all the latest gadgets that one might expect in a new military vehicle, including a "collision avoidance system." But military officials and outside analysts know that it's not just a new truck replacing an old one. Seven years of unconventional or counterinsurgency warfare is forcing the American military to recognize that the threat it's up against isn't an aberration and that the "jeep of the future" must navigate this dangerous new world.
"Buying a new light truck might not seem like a big deal, but the message of Iraq and Afghanistan is that trucks might be more important than tanks in future war fighting," says Loren Thompson, a senior analyst with the Lexington Institute, a policy research group in Arlington, Va.
Next month, the Army and Marine Corps are expected to pick three preliminary designs for the new vehicle, and the winning one could be picked by 2011. Roughly 200,000 vehicles could be produced under the plan, but they won't be in the hands of the military until probably 2013, officials say.

Le Tire Bouchon: French
dimming light, quiet environment, you will not hear people LOL but that does not mean you are dining in a library. i think it will be a nice place for a romantic dinner. Menu is a piece of huge paper in French and English.
Favorite Dish: Saucison salad: fresh vegetables with sausage and potatoes. dressing is pretty good! -
Le Tire Bouchon: Le Tire Bouchon
The entrance is almost cave-like, but the interior is elegant and ideal for a romantic meal or friends' get together. The Gallic staff are knowledgeable about their cuisine, which is classic French, and have been running the restaurant for 15 years. The pièce de resistance is the tournedos rossini (beef fillet in a port and shallot sauce with duck liver). Heavy but delicious. On the lighter side there are a good range of fish dishes, including sole and monkfish. For dessert, the soufflé and profiteroles are wonderful. The wine list has more than 200 choices.
Le Tire Bouchon: Is that French?
If you like all the cliché about French, you will like this restaurant... If you go for the food, and service, it's time to search for another one. Heavy on the sauce, light on the meat, and terrible fishes. Actually, so heavy on sauce that is is close to a soup. Good selection of wines, but at a price you may find expensive. Service is correct, but you won't hear much French in that place.
Favorite Dish: The salade au saucisson is correct. But don't try any fish at any cost.

Yup, if you just did that right after you moved Queen to f3. I would have resigned right there. The reason why I stayed in the game was because even though I was behind on material, ALL my pieces were in the game while your rooks were in the back. If I wasn't careless and left my rook by my King get captured, I could have pressured your kings with dual rooks after sacrificing both my bishops to take down yours (if you didn't throw your bishop at me, I woulda thrown mine at you, lol)
The game would have then become 2 rooks vs 2 knights since your rooks were still in the back. Also, while I mentioned moving queen to g2. It was mostly because I NEEDED my queen to be at h3. It was to stop your pawn from progressing and becoming a stronger structure. If the h pawn was strengthened by the g3 pawn, there would have been no hope for checkmating you and I would have resigned there as well.
Anyway, good game. I'm up for another game tomorrow. For nows, I need to study for my psychology exam that's at 9AM tomorrow.
Edit: Boy am I glad this game is over. It was hard concentrating on my work with this thing on my mind.
Good Times
Well, you rooks were pressuring me a bit (esp. my queen), but I didn't feel like I needed them to go out just yet. GG though.

Before the summer is over, I have a couple of popular Japanese summer recipes that I want to share. One of them is cold soba noodles, and we call it Zaru Soba.
Soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat and it also means the noodles made from buckwheat flour. I've seen all kinds of creative soba noodle recipes in the US, but in Japan soba noodles are served either simply chilled with a dipping sauce or in hot broth as a noodle soup, similar to how we prepare Japanese Udon noodle soup.
Cold soba noodles are typically served in zaru, which means bamboo basket in Japanese. We serve noodles with some toppings (green onions and wasabi, sometimes grated daikon) and dipping sauce called Mentsuyu.
Summer in Japan can be really hot and humid, and Zaru Soba was one of my favorite lunch menu when I was growing up. My mom usually serves with Vegetable Tempura and Shrimp Tempura, but honestly when it's super hot outside, who wants to deep fry…so let's keep it simple today.
You can buy a bottle of Mentsuyu in Japanese or Asian grocery store, but for homemade Mentsuyu recipe, click here. I hope you get some appetite with these cold soba noodles. Stay cool!
- 14 oz. dried Soba Noodle (I also used cha soba (green tea soba) today)
- Mentsuyu (For homemade Mentsuyu, click here.)
- Water or dashi stock to dilute
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- Wasabi paste
- Kizami Nori (finely shredded Nori Sheets)
- Shrimp Tempura (optional)
- Vegetable Tempura (optional)
- For dipping sauce, The dipping sauce is supposed to be a little salty because you will be "dipping" the soba noodles instead of soaking them to eat. You can always dilute it later if needed.
- For soba noodle, boil a lot of water in a large pot. Unlike pasta, you DO NOT add salt to the water. Add dried soba noodles in the boiling water in circulate motion, separating the noodles from each other. Boil soba noodles according to the package instructions (each one is slightly different). Mine says boil 4 minutes. Once in a while stir the noodles so they don't stick to each other. Check the tenderness and do not overcook. I do not use "sashi mizu (adding water)" technique for this noodle as it's says so on the package.*
- Drain the noodles into a colander and wash the noodles in a cold running water to get rid of slimy texture. This is very important and key to great tasting noodle.
- Put chopped green onions and wasabi on a small plate. Serve soba noodles on a tray or dish. Sprinkle Kizami Nori on top right before you serve.

LEICESTER — The Leicester selectboard at its April 2 meeting heard reports of illegal trash dumping on Lower Bullock Road.
Town Health Officer Jim Russo reported that he had inspected the site and found prescription bottles, syringes, receipts from a liquor store and a Rite Aid drug store and three coy dog carcasses. He also found a name in one of the garbage bags on the site.
Russo passed the information on to Gary Urich, an enforcement officer from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.
I had a bad dream the other night. A classic gardener's nightmare.
In the dream I awoke to a soft, sunny morning: a perfect gardening day. Robins were working the lawn, orioles were singing cascades of silver notes from the treetops and swallows were darting above the field, black shooting stars against a deep blue sky.
Maybe I feel so strongly about this because all the words I write, and all the decisions I make in writing those words on these pages, right or wrong, come with my name attached.
And I don't pretend I am always right. I've misspelled names, misunderstood rules and laws, forgotten to put scores of games in stories (usually my editors catch that error for me, thankfully), and simply phrased things poorly. All those mistakes are highly public, and published corrections often follow.
BRANDON — On Monday, the Otter Valley Union High School softball team bounced back from its first loss in four games, a 6-0 setback to Division I title contender Brattleboro on Saturday, to edge another D-I foe, Mount Anthony, 6-5.
The Otters improved to 7-3 and held onto fifth place in D-II. The Patriots, a good defensive team with some strong hitters, dropped to 2-10 as two pitchers combined to allow five hits and eight walks.
NEW HAVEN — Former Democratic Rep. Christopher Bray of New Haven confirmed he will seek one of Addison County's two state Senate seats this fall, a move that sets the stage for an Aug. 28 primary showdown with incumbent Democratic Sens. Claire Ayer of Addison and Harold Giard of Bridport.
VERMONT — On a gray May morning in Monkton, Norma Norris and Denzel Rankine were hard at work planting tomatoes, watering seedlings in the greenhouse and painting tables in preparation for the upcoming summer season.
Rankine, 48, comes to Norris Berry Farm from his home in Jamaica for six months each year through the federal H2A guest worker program, arriving in mid-April and staying until the end of the season in the fall.
ADDISON — Vergennes resident Karen Florucci can't pin down whether she was in second or third grade when she picked out her career, but the choice stuck.
In early June, Florucci will retire after 25 years teaching at Addison Central School, 21 in kindergarten and four in second grade.
Before arriving at ACS, the 1972 Castleton State College graduate taught two years of elementary school in Castleton and three years at the now-shuttered Brandon Training Center, and then for four years in the 1980s operated her own kindergarten in her Vergennes home.

1. Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Version Information
Related bugreports: #125766
libcurl is affected by a buffer overflow in the handling of URLs for the TFTP protocol, which could be exploited to compromise a user's system.
2. Impact Information
cURL is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting numerous protocols. libcurl is the corresponding client-side library.
Ulf Harnhammar reported a possible buffer overflow in the handling of TFTP URLs in libcurl due to the lack of boundary checks.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to compromise a user's system by enticing the user to request a malicious URL with cURL/libcurl or to use a HTTP server redirecting to a malicious TFTP URL.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
All cURL users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/curl-7.15.1-r1"
