I decided to start a COOKING BLOG to keep track of the dishes I attempt to cook from time to time. And what better place to do it than with my friends on proboards! I’ll try to find a way to link pictures to accompany the posts.
I will call this blog…

Mr Ackbar prepares… Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Made from scratch, including homemade pumpkin purée from roasted sugar pumpkins. I made these last year and wasn’t entirely satisfied with them. This year’s attempt at improvement strangely resulted in an even blander cookie. The texture is nice: very moist and cake-like. But the taste is mediocre. If I didn’t have ten more cups of purée in the fridge I would probably give up on this recipe. Rating: Edible |

@forceghostackbar Cookies look VERY edible indeed ! FWIW the good folks at Cook's Country who study and test such things say that for pumpkin taste, texture etc ... canned pumpkin is the way to go ! Its water content, flavor etc. is reliably consistent. I tried making pies from garden pumpkins and Libby's and agree with them. PLUS opening a can is so much easier and kinder than sacrificing a potential Jack'o-Lantern!  |

But… Chef Ackbar prides himself on making everything from scratch. He also refers to himself in the third person!

Especially when it improves the result ! Think of it like the can of evaporated milk which is a standard ingredient in many a punkin pie !

It is going to bug me til I remember what they were. Yours were edible, huh?? 🤣🤣🤣 |

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Version IINew batch. Used 30% less flour- which sounds scientific, but the truth is… I ran out of flour. But it worked! They turned out far more pumpkiny this time. I also doubled the amount of spices and used 50% less chocolate chips. Still not my favorite recipe I’ve ever made, but I’m mostly satisfied with the results. Rating: Suitable for human consumption

Chef Ackbar Prepares… Beef Barely SoupPart One: the broth… An entire day is spent simmering roasted bones, thyme, peppercorn and onion. 8-10 hours. The result is well worth the time! 😋  |
