Update On Aunt Minnies Cookies (URGENT)

JonesCarpeDiem
0 10 19

I cut the recipe in half and with the 1/4 c of water with the baking soda dissolved  it was too dry and would not hold together.

I added 4 ounces of water and it got the consistency it needed to be.

I tasted the first batch and added half again as much brown sugar and cinnamon and cloves to the remaing batter..

I used 9 cups of flour because I looked up how many cups were in 5lbs and it said 20.

So, If you make the full recipe, add 8oz water.

This is a 2.5 gallon container

After you finish the last batch, you put a cut orange in the container and seal it for a month.

I believe we replace the oranges two weeks into the cure time. THE ORANGES ARE VERY IMPORTANT.

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
