Baking Adventure: Chocolate Chip Cookies

[xaq_the_aereon]

So after the fair bit of success I had yesterday with the oatmeal-raisin cookies, I decided to try my hand at a classic today: good ol' chocolate chip cookies.

After the first batch finished cooling off, I plucked one off the tray, bit in to see how it tasted...and found it tasting kind of strange. I couldn't put my finger on it, to be honest. They tasted fine, but something just seemed wrong.

A few minutes later it finally occurred to me that the problem was my brain had seen cookies, remembered what yesterday was like, and, in a nutshell, was expecting the flavor of oatmeal-raisin cookies. So yeah, the problem was that chocolate doesn't taste like raisins. Go figure. XP

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I tend to fair pretty poorly with our grill. I can throw the steaks on it, wait a minute, shut it off, and they'll still get cooked...simply because about 80% of the inside of the grill will have inevitably caught fire. O_o;
