  1. “there is no such thing as being “underemployed” that is a made-up term by people who think too highly of themselves and their skill sets.”

    Oh Rob, I’m not even going to yell at you today. I’m just going to ***sigh***.

  2. Tybur6, Yes, in an ‘optimal world’ that is true. However, I have baked 1,000 cookies for two years running, heading into a 3rd, using big sheets in the small oven. It works. I rotate the sheets halfway through to promote even baking. It’s not what I would choose, but I make it work.

    Yes, and I think this is the third year we’ve heard all about your cookie baking.

    And have any of us been offered any?? NO!!!!! 😛

  4. Sav-on-5th is not as cheap as it used to be! But they certainly have a great selection, logically priced.

    Ikea might work. I really love their frying pans, lots of kitchen stuff for excellent prices, excellent quality. Never bought a cookie sheet there though.

    Also, at Target the $1.00/$2.50 racks sometimes have good cooking and baking stuff. I just scored 2 silocone scrapers with wood handles for $2.50–so what if one of them has snowmen imprinted on it?

    I was in a Key Food in Bed-Stuy yesterday and spotted a sale sign for 100 paper plates (the cheapo scallopped kind) for $1.69. I grabbed the package underneath the sign and it scanned at $2.99. The manager said that’s because this one has 150 plates, and brought a 100-plate package that scanned for $3.99. He finally found the right one–they are 100 MICROWAVE-SAFE paper plates for the right price. Oh those sales!
