Interview – "The biggest year in our company's history," by Bethesda's Pete Hines
This year will be the biggest in Bethesda's history. An RPG sequel anticipated for aeons; the first new IP from id Software in 15 years; one of the most anticipated shooters in the industry this year; and a dungeon crawler which fuses old days with new.
Post-release DLC for one of last year's biggest hits is a also certainty for 2011, but the anticipation of future releases is likely to further add to this year's importance for the publisher: three new studios – one from the east – are coming on board with new projects with the company and, obviously there's a chance at getting a look at DOOM4 this year.
With so much going on at Bethesda it seemed like a good time to catch up. We spoke last week with the company's VP of marketing and PR, Pete Hines.

Fallout: Nuka Break fan film
It may technically be Wednesday where I'm sitting, but I live in the future so I'm calling it Tight Arse Tuesday. Today's feature is even thriftier than discount cinema tickets as the wonders of the Internet hand it over entirely free of charge and with nary a family-friendly Ashton Kutcher in sight.
What Fallout: Nuka Break delivers instead is ghouls, shooting, radiated recovery items, informative Pip Boy segments, astounding production values and laughs. See the whole fan-made film through the break.

Just off the coast of Tanzania, the African island of Zanzibar isn't simply a sunny, sandy paradise geared toward honeymoon couples -- it's an island of bright beauty and dark history.
Every building, boutique hotel and narrow street in UNESCO World Heritage Site Stone Town has a story -- from the slave trade to the birthplace of Freddie Mercury.
Yes, the beaches are stunning, the breezes are warm and the beer is cold.
But there's a lot more to see, do and enjoy on this small island in the Indian Ocean.
The Palace Museum
Built in the 19th century, the former Sultan's Palace (also known as Beit el-Sahel) perches on the seafront and is one of Stone Town's iconic buildings.
One of the palace's most famous residents was Khalid bin Barghash, who was forced by the British to outlaw seaborne slavery in 1873.
This edict -- more can be learned about it in the museum -- was a significant step toward the abolition of the Arab slave trade, memorialized by the nearby Cathedral of Christ, which was built on the site of the old slave market.
It's said that the altar is positioned where the old whipping post once stood.
More on Stone Town and the Palace Museum.
Streets of Stone Town
The historic center of Zanzibar, Stone Town is the archetypal Arabian Nights town.
Guests can spend days losing themselves in the winding, narrow streets, marveling at the minarets that spear the skyline, as well as exploring the colonial buildings leftover from the Portuguese, British and Germans.
Fans of Freddie Mercury (born Faroukh Bulsara in Stone Town, 1946) will appreciate the Zanzibar Gallery, which features a gold plaque commemorating its most famous son.
Mercury's Bar & Restaurant (Mizingani Road, +255 77 741 3081) capitalizes on the singer's adopted name.
Unsurprisingly, Queen's greatest hits permeate the venue's soundtrack, and staff are eager to tell you where they think the singer was born -- though it seems no one can agree on an exact location.
Mercury's is one of the few restaurants in Stone Town located on the beach, and is conveniently close to Forodhani Gardens.
Many such buildings have been converted into stunning boutique guesthouses, including Mashariki Palace Hotel (doubles from $220) and the more affordable Stone Town Café bed and breakfast (rooms start at $80 per night).
Forodhani Gardens at Stone Town
The Forodhani Gardens food market comes to life as the sun goes down.
People wander amid the food stalls for snacks including Zanzibar pizzas, sugarcane drinks and fresh seafood.
Even if you're not hungry, Forodhani Gardens is worth a visit for the sights and sounds.
Forodhani is located close to the Zanzibar ferry port, walking west along the Mizingani Road (keeping the sea to your right).
Zanzibar pizza
As the name suggests, Zanzibar pizza is the island's signature dish.

Why ads?Braking capability and payload and towing capacity have been increased in what seems a never-ending quest for bragging rights in the heavy-duty truck segment. The 2013 F-Series Super Duty can now conventionally tow up to 18,500 pounds, and has a maximum 5th-wheel trailer tow rating of 24,700 pounds. Also new are the Platinum trim and availability of the Sync infotainment system with MyFord Touch.
The 6.7-liter PowerStroke turbodiesel gets a bump up in horsepower and torque, and a gooseneck hitch is now available on 6.75-foot box.
Despite the headlines about higher fuel prices and the popularizing of smaller cars, there is still a place for mighty trucks that can perform mighty tasks. Those who drive such vehicles are more apt to be wearing work gloves and overalls than cufflinks and khakis, and almost without question they'll be seated in a vehicle from the domestic Big Three. To this end, the 2013 Ford F-Series Super duty has only three major opponents: the Chevrolet Silverado HD/GMC Sierra HD twins, and the Ram 2500/3500. Like its competitors, the Ford Super Duty offers powerful gasoline or diesel engines that can haul enormous loads. With a vast range of models and tremendous towing and payload capacity, the Super Duty is a truck born for work.

"It's the decision we had to make ultimately because she wasn't going to come back to us," Tommy Clark, Nikki's uncle, said. "The only thing we could do is let her go so she could be happy."
On Saturday, the 11-year-old was walking up the stairs of her parents home with the rod when she fell and landed on it. The rod impaled her through the chest and out the back of her neck. Nikki managed to pull the rod out herself, but when she did that, it caused even more damage to her internal organs.
Clark said the 11-year-old girl's family is holding up as best they can. Her friends and family were hoping for a miracle that never came.
The 6th grader had many friends at Pioneer Elementary in Weber County. Her classmates hand made get-well cards for Nikki, hoping she would pull through.
Her close friends told ABC4 Reporter Cristina Rendon they spent the day consoling each other and crying between classes.
"I was scared and I was shocked," Alexis Harper, a friend, said. "I was thinking, what if that happened to me?"
Another girl, Oaklee Durney, considered Nikki her best friend.
"She always has a smile on her face and she is always laughing," Durney said. "I just didn't want her to die."
Pioneer Elementary School Principal Lori Rasmussen delivered some of the get-well cards to Nikki before she passed.
"Nikki was just one of those students that was just an angel," Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen said the 6th grade class donated a portion of their class funds to Nikki's family. The school has also decided to change their annual charity drive called "Quarters for Christmas" to "Quarters for Nikki."
Each grade level will collect quarters starting December 1, 2012 and donate the money to help Nikki's family with medical expenses.
Clark said his family's pain is eased by the outpouring of love and support from everyone who knew her.
"She was my world, like one of my own kids," he added. "I'd give anything to trade places with her."
Nikki was an organ donor. Services will be held at Nelson Funeral Home in Logan. She will be buried next to her great-grandmother at Hyde Park Cemetery.
The family has set up a memorial fund at US Bank to help with medical expenses under account number 153152943285.

Is there a word that best describes food and drink taken at the same time? I've thought of refreshments and consumables but neither seem right to me.
Sustenance refers to food and drink. | |||||||||||||||||
Victuals might at a pinch be extended to include drink as well as food. | |||
According to US Legal, aliments are food or drinks that can provide nourishment and support life. Apparently in the legal context they may also include clothing, but this was news to me. | |||||||||||||||||||||
"Victuals" is the correct word for food and drink; or you can use the old English form of the word "vittles". Drink or beverages alone are sometimes referred to as "libations". | |||||
In my opinion, it depends on what other things you might want to connote. For example, refreshments is a great word for food and drink together - especially food and drink at group functions like meetings and parties. If you are talking about procuring food and drink together, you might call them groceries. Victuals and vittles are also correct, but are not used in American vernacular (at least not on the east coast). | ||||
I'm a bit surprised that nourishment hasn't come up as an answer itself, although it was used in the definition of another word... The first definition would seem to include drink as well as food. | |||
Fare - the food and drink that are regularly served or consumed | |||
I've always liked "comestibles" though there may be a discussion as to whether this includes drinks or not, but then the boundary between food and drink can be a bit fuzzy. | ||||
Is not "meal" appropriate that includes the process of eating and drinking? | |||||||||
Hmmm, on the vernacular front, I would propose CHOW, GRUB or FARE. | |||
While we're coming up with slightly archaic terms, "provender" is listed in some places as meaning "food" but in others as being a synonym for "provisions". | |||
Although "food and drink" is an accepted phrase, technically at least, there is no reason why drink should not be considered as food -- think "liquid foods". That way, I find food a sufficient word for all things that go into the alimentary canal for nutritional purposes, in whatever solid, liquid, gaseous (or plasma?) state. I think for some living beings, their food consists exclusively of liquids. Some elderly people live on liquids alone. So why not just say food where there is no ambiguity and food and drink where absolutely necessary? | |||
You can use wherewithal or nourishment. | ||||
For any fans of internet culture, the answer is clearly Noms, popularized by sites like icanhazcheeseburger.com (LOLCats), wins.failblog.org and others.

Last week we had a young apprentice in our Commelius office. He's still not sure what he would like to do when he grows up, but he was keen to find out what it's like to work in London and learn a few things about professional environment. To his surprise, after spending a week working for different divisions in our company, he discovered a few things about himself which now will help him choose his future career path. What Jack learned during this work experience is an important part of becoming an adult – after all, finding out want you don't want to do for a living is as important as discovering what you would like to do in your life.

Did you know Colette created a Fashion line for Fiorucci? Do you know who used to shop at Fiorucci? 0 0 23h
Tonight begins a new phase on the Lower East Side's flourishing & vibrant art scene w/IFAC's inaugural exhibition. 85 Delancy Street, 6-8PM. Featuring: Frank Shifreen, Robert Petrick, and Colette. (Photo: Real Dream, Clocktower Gallery, Installation Performance NYC 1975-76, Museum Ludwig Collection, Cologne.) 0 0 1d
Please join us on Thursday evening at the International Fine Arts Consortium. http://on.fb.me/1gXr5eK 0 0 2d
Way before Lady Gaga & Madonna evolved into their cult figure persona, before Tilda Swinton's notoriety gained from sleeping in a glass box, and before 'clubbing' became chic for city kids, Colette Lumiere was doing it and dressed accordingly. I'm very honored, along with Lee Wells and the International Fine Arts Consortium, to present "Colette The Artist" as part of our inaugural exhibition in our new space at 85 Delancy Street. Join us as we celebrate Colette's rich life and contribution to the New York art scene with early imagery and footage with friends and collaborators like Jeff Koons and Richard Prince. Learn more here: http://bit.ly/1gjRJAQ Photo by Rose Hartman, Clubbing, 1976. 0 0 4d
Think of the courage and the nerves of steel a Test Pilot for the US Navy or Air Force must have: strap yourself into the cockpit of a new plane or helicopter and go give it a spin, then report all malfunctions it may or may not have on the return trip back. In the 1950's, one test pilot a week was getting killed on the job. Thank God the mortality rate in our modern era of aviation has been cut dramatically from that insane statistic. Just as we can thank Guiliani for the decline in murder rates in New York City, and by staggering amounts: from over 2000 a year in the early '90's to under 400 in the current one; and that's with over one million more people than the city had in 1992. What does this have to do with Frank Shifreen? Two things: For one, Frank Shifreen has been a test pilot-trailblazer for the New York City art world these last 40 years. And number two: you wouldn't want a return to the times that David Byrne laments about -for creativity's sake- in his latest editorial for The Guardian, in a million years. To find a dead junkie on the sidewalk or in an abandoned car was not uncommon, especially on the Lower East Side where Mr. Shifreen has been making his art all these years and still calls home. But there's more: Frank began hosting epic party-shows in the 70's -when gas lines stretched around entire city blocks and muggings rampant- with tons of artists involved and in places that were still legit (or at least overlooked) for dumping toxic waste. There was his 1981 Monumental Show in Gowanus, Brooklyn, that featured Keith Haring and Carl Andre as part of the lineup of over a hundred artists and visited with over four thousand spectators the first weekend. New York Magazine called it 'the event of the season' and with 'Gowanus Guerillas' as title for the article it secured Frank's claim as an avant garde test-pilot indeed. Always on the cutting edge and always socially conscious, Frank helped organize Art Against Apartheid, in 1984, when Nelson Mandela was still yet free. The show was held in 26 locations throughout the city. Mr. Shifreen doesn't shy from the grand, the epic. And his neo-expressionist paintings reflect this, the ones now on view at the International Fine Art Consortium's inaugural show, in their new headquarters at 85 Delancy Street. Marcel Duchamp must have had an artist like Frank Shifreen in mind when he declared: I dont belive in art. I believe in artists. Because what kind of artist dedicates the last 20 years of his life to teaching homebound disabled students for the NYC Board of Education while still maintaining a life as creative trailblazer, as test-pilot to the unknown, the uncharted, and as free spirit in this capitalistic capital of capitals? New York is still and will always be a vibrant city for artists (regardless of the 1%, Mr. Byrne), it just takes a certain type, like Frank Shifreen, to keep making it so. I invite all Talking Heads to visit and buy some art, now! GdlH 1 0 4d

Every pizza at zpizza is freshly prepared, hand thrown, gently coaxed into the oven using soft birdcalls and pheromone trails, and fire-baked to crispy perfection. The dough is prepared fresh daily from 100% certified-organic wheat, and z is also happy to offer certified organic and gluten-free crusts, sating the pizza desire of the allergic, dieters, and wheat sympathizers. Toppings include award-winning Wisconsin skim mozzarella, MSG-free pepperoni, certified-organic tomato sauce, additive-free sausage, and fresh produce. Try a large ZBQ pizza (with barbecue sauce, mozzarella, barbecue chicken, roasted pepper, red onion, tomato, cilantro, and sweet corn; $20.95 for a large) or a chicken curry and yam rustica (with mozzarella, curry chicken, yam, mango chutney, raisin, and cilantro; $8.95). Vegans can delight in the Berkeley vegan, a faux-cheese veggie pizza (with marinara, veggie burger crumbles, zucchini, tomato, mushroom, red onion, and bell pepper; $10.50 for a small), and traveling tongues can sate their wanderlust with a mouthwatering Moroccan rustica (with pesto, mozzarella, roasted eggplant, feta cheese, caramelized onion, and pine nut; $8.95).
Chandeliers made of shimmering gold scales light up red-and-gold damask wallpaper. Tomato-red chairs stand out boldly against a bar lined with white tufted leather. The bold hues that decorate Panache Restaurant's Tysons Corner location match the bold flavors of its Italian dishes. Chefs stuff lobster into house-made ravioli and slow-braise lamb to make their specialty house ragù. Grilled free-range Angus filet mignon pairs with a choice of more than 150 wines. An outdoor seating area hosts al fresco dining, and music from a live jazz band harmonizes with patrons' satisfied "mmm's" on the second and fourth Friday of every month.
Inside this elegant eatery, undulating mirror segments reflect glimpses of signature kebab and kahari plates precariously stacked along the waiter's arm. Below small ceiling lights arranged like a constellation, tables are festooned with traditional clay-oven tandoori and masala dishes—but this is a small part of Noorani's ample repertoire, which ranges from Indian and Pakistani fare to a completely separate menu of traditional Chinese dishes. The staff prepares fresh fish and chicken coated in zesty sichuan, ginger soy, and orange sauces over noodles or tender rice. Guests, meanwhile, can load plates with cuisine from the 15-item daily lunch buffet and question regulars about Noorani Kabab House's live entertainment. The merriment syllabus presents comedy nights, concerts, and some guy who used a single chopstick to eat a bowl of hot-and-sour soup.
Cena offers time-strapped families and plan-aheaders quick, economical, and delicious dinner options good to take home or on vacation. While the menu changes every two weeks, current offerings include the stuffed beef tenderloin, rolled with fresh spinach, roasted, peppers, and mozzarella, while a mango cilantro sauce and fresh peppers and onions top the hearty Caribbean chicken. Each half-sized entree from Cena's rotating menu feeds three people. Cena also features a small Bolivian river's worth of wines, and the well-informed staff will happily assist part-time winos in choosing a suitable bottle to pair with your meal or C-SPAN marathon. The crisp, fruity notes of Maso Canali pinot grigio agreeably complement Cena's pork tenderloin in shallot sauce, while the floral tones of L'Ecole No. 41 Chenin blanc go gorgeously with the mahi-mahi fish tacos, like hot dogs sitting in the bleachers of a hot-dog-eating contest.
The culinary-travel specialists at Epitourean create food-focused itineraries for adventurous eaters, highlighting authentic regional cuisine in its own setting through tours, cooking classes, and gourmet meals. This deal takes the culinary curious to central Virginia, an area known for its rolling wineries, southern seasonings, and seafood fresh out of Chesapeake Bay. The retreat takes place at The Lafayette Inn, an 1840-era Federalist mansion that has served as both a saloon and a Civil War hospital. Current innkeepers Alan and Kaye Pyles have transformed the antebellum manor into a cozy setting for sampling local produce and wines from the surrounding Piedmont region. The culinary adventure begins with a chef's tasting menu of five or more courses, each paired with a vintage from the wine list. Although dishes frequently vary to showcase seasonal ingredients, chefs often draw from the main menu, which includes lump crab in garlic cream, fried green tomatoes, and Southern Comfort shrimp and grits. The following night, Alan—who doubles as the inn's executive chef—leads an intimate, hands-on cooking class in the onsite restaurant. Visitors transform into moonlighting sous-chefs as Alan teaches culinary tricks of the trade, leading disciples in mincing, whisking, broiling, and searing basketball box scores onto chicken breasts.Inside The Lafayette Inn's guests rooms, four-poster beds, crocheted quilts, and locally produced bath products enhance the inn's homey charm. The Monroe room boasts a gas fireplace with a carved mantelpiece, and the Washington room honors its namesake with portraits of the first president. Each day, a cooked-to-order breakfast serves omelets and french toast, and inn staff will help to plan a self-guided wine tour through the surrounding countryside and provide an artisanal cheese basket.
Roma Ristorante Italiano has been owned and operated by the Giambanco family since 1976. After crossing turbulent seas of marinara during their voyage from Palermo to Brooklyn, the Giambancos' culinary prowess and authentic Italian recipes finally landed on American soil in 1968. Chefs continue to cook the family's homemade Southern Italian cuisine, which includes pastas, hand-tossed gourmet pizzas, and seafood. Their extensive dessert menu tempts sweet teeth with delicate profiteroles and sheep's milk ricotta cannoli. The dining room oozes comfort and charm with striped banquettes, a colorful mural of the Colosseum, miniature street lamps, and potted plants strung with white lights. Roma Ristorante Italiano's recently remodeled lounge, full bar, onsite banquet hall, and catering services ensure that parties can break bread and celebrate Italian culture without applying for a gondolier's license.

Grassy Troll Conspiracy.
Cloak and Swagger.
Getting engaged, working a profuse amount for Apple, busy with photoshoots and the hellish post-processing that follows, negotiating various gigs for musicians, planning for a wedding, focusing on improving my fitness levels, and visiting in-laws in the most boring state of all: New Mexico.
I missed you guys.
Golden Monsters: A character repository | Why Explicit Content is Prohibited
Haha, you have no idea how badly I want to farm out all of my post-processing work. When I become more notable, that's definitely part of the plan. Till then, I'm stuck twiddling my thumbs as I stare at Photoshop and wonder what magic I can do with my limited retouching abilities.
Nature is great for that. It's a shame I love portraiture and fashion as I do, because my nature photographs are by far my most popular.
Yeah, I need to get some ND and Grad filters, lost my bloody polarizer, eugh.
I need less expensive hobbies.

Haha, tell me about it. I've got a B&W ND and a Polarizer that I'm fairly happy with, but I've been burning for some Lee filters forever. Damn you, Karl Taylor!
New Mexico is where fun goes to die. Along with hopes and dreams.
I was in a town called 'Truth and Consequences.' I kid you not. It was inhabited by a bunch of meth addicts, i.e: Breaking Bad IRL.
Shhhh. Don't tell discourage them.

Deep Fryer, Grill, and Griddle - All in One The thoughtfully designed party grill combines a deep fryer, an infrared grill, and a griddle for exceptional versatility. Use the 16-ounce, centrally located deep fryer, which heats oil to an optimal 360 degrees F, to make French fries, onion rings, and other favorite fried foods. Plus, its integrated warming plate neatly drains oil back to the oil reservoir. In addition to deep frying, the central cooking space can be used as a sauce pan or a wok--great for stir-frying, sauteing, boiling, steaming, or making fondue.
Three additional sections surround the deep fryer. The dedicated grill section features a Hellfire ceramic infrared burner that delivers over 650 degrees F of penetrating, infrared heat, which cooks faster while keeping food moist and delicious. Use the grill section for anything from hot dogs and hamburgers to sausages, steak, chicken, and more. The integrated griddle section--with its double porcelain-enamel surface--works well for making grilled onions, bacon, eggs, pancakes, hash browns, and toasted buns. Finally, the warming-plate section keeps items at an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking.
Fueled by a 1-pound propane canister, the grill-fryer delivers 24,000 total BTUs of cooking power and offers 452 square inches of durable porcelain-coated cooking space. The portable party grill comes ready to use, right out of the box--no assembly required. The legs simply fold so it fits easily into the durable storage bag, perfect for transporting in a car, truck, or RV.
Accessories include an oil catch bottle, a repositionable cutting board for handy chopping and other food prep, an easy-to-read fryer thermometer, and a three-position cover. With the legs extended, the party grill measures 31 inches in diameter by 30-1/2 inches tall, and it weighs about 37 pounds.

Online Reservations
My first time there along with 3 friends and waiter was super-polite, not overly attentive, just right and was sensitive to our endless chattering! Food was scrumptious! Totally recommend the tomato bisque with grilled cheese croutons! Can't wait to go again!
What a great spot! Went for brunch it was amazing the food, service and decor. They even had a country band play on Sunday Yee Haw! We will be back!!
I enjoy this restaurant from the decor to the ample room tables provide. It is s great meeting spot. This is my third visit and its always clean and i can get a table. Love open table reservations which saves so much time. The food is good and sandwiches are big for lunch, salads are fresh but the chicken is always overcooked and dry, bummer! The loster roll is wow huge, fresh and never leaves you doubting if its real lobster neat!! I will be back for the bloody mary and country brunch!
Food and service were both great. The lobster caramel is small but delicious. The waiter accurately described it as possibly the best single bite of food you could ever have. Steak was cooked perfectly. Definitely a nice find.
This restaurant offers an above average experience, and is a special treat peeking out from the edge of the Hilton Hotel in downtown Boston. I love their extra thick and creamy tomato soup with the grilled cheese croutons. They always seem to manage to have an excellent scallop dish, which is enough for almost two meals. Ambiance is light and open, and is great for business lunches, of which we have had many at this location. I highly recommend this as a great spot that gets very busy later at lunch and has a great bar scene in the late afternoon.
What an experience!! Food was exceptional, drink menu was reminiscent of the offerings at a tropical resort; delightful and refreshing. The only thing missing would be a warm ocean breeze. However, the party atmosphere was much more energetic and lively than a Caribbean vacation. Our reservation was inadvertently booked at the same time as a private party, so needless to say we were disappointed when we arrived. However, as the saying goes, "It was truly a blessing in disguise." And what a blessing it was. Not wanting to ruin our evening, the manager offered us a private dining room away from the party. I would have been just as happy to join the party. Great music, lively crowds and overall positive energy. What a great time.
for business lunch, I've had to wait 20 minutes for next course, check, etc.

Yeah, the fact that so many people think that FemShep is the correct choice really undermines a lot of the ideas that the gaming community is inherently misogynistic at the core, or refuses to play female characters. It's simply not true. Now, the big sales games right now do tend to feature male PC's, but that's because they're the Modern Warfare games and reality does have men mostly at the front lines.
The bigger problem with this sort of media analysis is that it often objectifies women just as much, as it tends to strip out their motivations and personalities and reduces them to political icons.

Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
So it's now less than 3 weeks until Thanksgiving. I can't believe it either. For many years my mom and step-dad have hosted Thanksgiving dinner at their house and not surprisingly, my contribution to the meal is usually one or more desserts. Having never hosted Thanksgiving myself, I really haven't had the opportunity to try many of the savory recipes that start popping up everywhere this time of year. I've decided this is going to be the year I change that. I'm so excited to roast my very first turkey, even if it means Shane and I have to eat leftover turkey for weeks. The sides are a little more tricky since Shane only eats potatoes, but I have confidence that I can scale way back to make mini portions of the other mouth-watering sides I've got my eye on. I'll share all of my experiences with you over the next few weeks, but for today - another dessert :)
A few nights ago I wanted a snack and couldn't bear the thought of another piece of leftover Halloween candy so I began flipping through Martha Stewart's Holiday Cookies magazine. No time like the present to start thinking about cookie recipes for the holidays, right? This particular recipe caught my eye for two reasons. First, because it's unlike just about any other cookie I've ever made - the recipe doesn't include any butter or flour - so I was definitely intrigued. Also, the cookies combine peanut butter and chocolate, which means they were almost guaranteed to satisfy. The benefit of not having butter in the recipe is that there's no butter to bring to room temperature, which means I could whip these up pretty quickly. I kept peeking in the oven as the cookies baked, curious as to how much they'd spread, if at all. What I discovered was that they really didn't spread much at all, instead in the last few minutes of the baking time they puffed and cracked just slightly on the top. The cookies will feel quite soft when you remove them from the oven, but follow the recipe's instructions to let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack, and you'll find they firm up during that time.
Shane and I both really enjoyed these - in fact, Shane went back for seconds and thirds (and maybe a fourth, I can't be sure). I didn't think the texture of the cookies (or the flavor for that matter) suffered at all from the lack of butter or flour. The peanut butter flavor is prominent, which is a good thing in my book. The only thing I'd change next time is to ever so slightly decrease the amount of chocolate chips, as the ratio of mix-in to cookie was a little higher than I'd prefer. These are a definite repeat here, and as they keep so well, I'll likely add them to my Christmas cookie trays this year.
Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
adapted from Martha Stewart Holiday Cookies
(Note: If you're curious, the original recipe included semisweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate and roasted salted peanuts in place of the peanut butter chips.)
1 cup creamy peanut butter (I did not try the recipe with natural pb so not sure if/how it works)
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the peanut butter, sugar, egg, baking soda and salt until well combined. Use a sturdy rubber spatula to mix in the chocolate and peanut butter chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets (I used a small cookie scoop), spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are golden and puffed, about 14-17 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies

Tracey - aren't these some of the best PB&C cookies? So glad you made them - they're "uncle Mike cookies" to my 5-yr old niece. I've made them for years for her, since first seeing them in Everyday Food (and they're a favorite at the office too). Can't get more peanut butter flavor than straight peanut butter (no flour needed)! They look beautiful!

These look great. I have to make these. Now that some of my coworkers are GF, I've been on the lookout for GF recipes and since this one has no flour, it's perfect, even though I can't eat it due to the PB. I've made similar cookies from The Weekend Baker by Abby Dodge and they were tasty (at least, that's what I've been told). Thanks for sharing.

Kevin Rudd returned as prime minister of Australia on Thursday, three years after being replaced in the office by his then-deputy Julia Gillard.
Rudd challenged Gillard for leadership of the Labor Party on Wednesday and won a 57-45 vote among fellow Labor members of parliament.
In the Australian parliamentary system, the leader of the governing party assumes the position of prime minister and on Thursday morning, in Canberra, Rudd was sworn in for a second time.
Gillard resigned after the party vote on Wednesday night and announced she will leave politics.
A major factor in Gillard's demise -- and in Rudd's Phoenix-like return -- is the election Australia has to hold by the end of this year.
Under Gillard's leadership, Labor was facing overwhelming defeat, according to opinion polls. But the same polls show a Rudd-led Labor Party would fare much better at the ballot box.
Australian Governor-General Quentin Bryce oversaw the swearing-in ceremony at Government House in Canberra. The governor-general represents Queen Elizabeth II as head of state.
Rudd is widely popular with Australian voters, who go to the polls in September to pick a new parliament and government.
Gillard had called for the vote herself after months of inner-party friction.
Rudd, who was elected in 2007 but was ousted by Gillard in a leadership challenge in 2010, said he returns to the office of prime minister with "humility, with honor and with an important sense of energy and purpose."
He said the negative politics holding Australia back in recent years "must stop," and that he will strive to achieve this goal as prime minister.
He also paid tribute to Gillard as "a woman of extraordinary intelligence, of great strength and great energy," and said she had achieved remarkable reforms despite heading a minority government.
In her own news conference, Gillard said she was grateful to have had the opportunity to lead her country.
"This privilege was truly humbling. I thank the Australian Labor Party for that privilege and I thank the Australian people for their support," she said.
"When I first put myself forward for consideration for Labor leader in 2010, I had the overwhelming support of my colleagues to do so. I thank them for that. And I thank them for giving the opportunity to me not only to serve the nation but to serve as the first female prime minister of this country."
Tony Abbott, leader of the official opposition Liberal Party of Australia, accused the ALP of focusing on politics over good government.
In a news conference, he said the people of Australia "deserve better than this," and appealed for voters to back his party if they want a strong, stable and unified government.
"Just a couple of simple facts," Abbott said. "In 2007, you voted for Kevin and got Julia. In 2010, you voted for Julia and got Kevin. If you vote for the Labor Party in 2013, who knows who you will end up with?"
Referring to the upcoming election battle, Rudd said he had finally decided to contest his party's leadership because "it's simply not in my nature to stand idly by and to allow an Abbott government to come to power in this country by default."
Reluctant Rudd
The internal leadership vote followed months of rivalry and division within the ALP.
Rudd's supporters within the ALP circulated a petition calling for him to challenger Gillard's leadership, but he initially refrained. In the meantime, at least eight of the ministers in Gillard's Cabinet resigned, purging decades of experience from her government.
This week, the prime minister had had enough. Despite no official challenge from any rival, she put her power on the chopping block and handed her party the ax.
"I do think it's in the best interests of the nation -- and in the best interests of the Labor Party -- for this matter to be resolved," she said as she called the vote.
In a jab at her rival, Gillard complained in an interview with CNN affiliate Sky News Australia this week that no one had approached her to mount a leadership ballot in a traditional manner.

Don't lose hope over Arab Spring
By Randall Kuhn, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Randall Kuhn is director of the Global Health Affairs Program at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. The views expressed are the writer's own.
As we mark its two year anniversary, it has become fashionable to dismiss the Arab Spring as a false opening at best, or a gateway to an Islamist takeover at worst. Others have argued compellingly that radical extremists represent a small minority of citizens with little legitimacy. A more fundamental concern is whether the moderate Arab majority has the political capacity and motivation to overcome special interests who seek to undermine the original vision of social justice. My research on the role of human development in the Arab Spring suggests that they do.
On measures of human development such as infant mortality, life expectancy, and schooling, the Arab nations of today look far more similar to the nations of Eastern Europe in 1989, the revolution we all hope for, than to Iran in 1979, the revolution that many fear. Since 1980, no region of the developing world saw as much progress on basic indicators of health and education than the Arab States, fueled by foreign aid, oil money, and despots looking to placate the masses. In 1970, an infant born in Egypt was more likely to die in the first year of life than in India or most of Sub-Saharan Africa; by 2005 the infant in Egypt was less than half as likely to die. Moreover, by 2009 the average Tunisian 15-year old had a better chance of seeing their 60th birthday than the average American.
Arabs born in the 1980s and 1990s are a golden generation, healthier and better educated than any that had come before, much like the baby boomer generation in the US. Like the baby boomers, Arab youth were empowered not just by their own strength, but by a collective sense that everyone around them was gaining. The image of shared prosperity and modernity was reinforced by satellite TV programs presenting aspirational, middle class lives. The expectation of prosperity was reflected in rising university enrollment, exploding internet use, and high levels of optimism about the future.
Of course the bright future did not materialize. By 2010, the golden generation of Arab youth was mired in what could best be described as a transnational failure to launch, characterized in the media by high youth unemployment and growing political disillusionment. Perhaps more devastating still was the delay in marriage. By 2007, for instance, the mean age of first marriage in Libya was 34 for men and 31 for women. Age at marriage was equally high in Tunisia and rapidly rising in Egypt, even in the villages. The good news: the devastating practice of child marriage for young women was increasingly in the past. The bad news: an increasing number were unable to marry at all, a devastating fate in societies where marriage often remains the sole legitimate pathway to childbearing, sexual activity, and, for women, economic security.
While poor governance and recession bore some immediate blame for the marriage squeeze, the process began with drastically enhanced life expectations. Previous Arab generations had faced far worse economic deprivations, but had simply settled for lousy jobs (or no jobs for women) and any marriage as soon as possible. But the new generation held out the hope of a brighter future; they would not settle. Many in the golden generation instead chose an adulthood waiting for the right job and the right spouse, but eventually they stopped waiting and demanded more.
Furthermore, the golden generation has shown that they would not settle for the same old corrupt government and unjust society. Well before the Arab Spring, surveys of political attitudes indicated broad support for the abstract idea of democracy. While it is easy to say that you like democracy when you don't have it, there was also growing support for specific values like political inclusion, freedom of speech, and women's rights. In Egypt, the Arab Spring was preceded by a wave of popular protest, reflecting broad-based alliances between labor movements, liberals, Islamists, and others. While protests often addressed material conditions, the focus had shifted from simple bread and butter issues to questions of economic justice and worker's rights. Participation in protests was actually more likely among those who were educated and employed, not those who were desperate. The fact that those with much to lose from disorder were front and center in the protests again suggests that Arabs were not just fighting for bread, but for an alternative vision of the future.
If the Arab Spring was indeed strongly rooted in a positive vision of justice and inclusion, why do things look so difficult today? The easy answer would be that revolutions are messy and difficult, and that even Eastern Europe in the 1990s, with so much help from the West, had moments of disorder, racism, and Communist retrenchment. A more serious answer would be that people power does not readily translate into political power. After the euphoria of an event as powerful as the Arab Spring, people naturally tend to hope for the best and return to their personal lives. The reality is that citizens may have to return to the streets for many years to come. They must also reengage with the electoral and party-building process, building durable political coalitions that can solve pressing economic issues, bridge deep cultural divides, and represent minority interests.
Come to think of it, those are the same challenges we face in the United States.
