hidey-ho!

I promise I'm going to get to comments tonight if it kills me. I have Quantum of Solace queued up (again! - stop smirking, Julie), tea, and gingerbread cookies on which to nosh; I am SET like a set thing. So if you end up with comments in your inbox to things you said weeks ago, my apologies. Er, until then:

Default Icon



Half-naked Joe; perfect for all occasions!

Oldest Icon



How can you ever get rid of that icon? It's just not possible.

Newest Icon



I am so disgustingly fond of them. <3

Saddest Icon



:'(

Happiest Icon

OR OR 

Shut up, I'm totally allowed to have three. There's no happy Jason one yet, which must be rectified, but LOOK AT THEIR FACES.

Angriest Icon



Mostly when I'm actually irritated I just use my default because, uh, there's nothing like shirtless Joe to make you feel remorse? I don't know. This is really the angriest my icons get.

Cutest Icon



Tiny baby animals! \o/

Sexiest Icon



This is my Rodney-genderswap icon. Shush. It's Julie's fault, really.

Most Humorous Icon



Ahahahaahahahahah! That never stops being amazing.

Favorite Ship Icon

OR

Their love has no personal space bubble!

Icon Most Used



Because sometimes you just need to lie down.

Favorite Icon I Made



Rubbing! Noses! *useless pile of sap*

Favorite Icon of the Moment



MUST YOU PISTOL WHIP EVERYONE, EMMETT? MUST YOU?

Favorite Overall



Priceless.



How many icons do you have total? 117
How many can you have? 117
If you could buy space for more, would you? Um. Probably not, at this point.
Do your icons make a statement about you? That I'm a complete goof?
What fandom do you have the most icons of? SGA
The second most? due South
What ship do you have the most icons of? McShep <3
How do you categorize your icons? I don't really, just give them random keywords. They're all kind of jumbled together. For instance, this one is called "chestular area". Yeah.
Are your icons mostly made by other users? Pretty much.
Do you make icons? Sometimes.
Are they any good? They're alright, I guess. I can't really manage anything fancy, though.



In conclusion, Laura Cadman.

Well, actually! I'm going to admit that we used a mix this time around because someone gifted it to us - it was one of those prepackaged ones with the cookie cutter attached that you get from, like, Bed Bath & Beyond or something, and surprisingly yummy! But I've made others that were very good as well, so. Here's that recipe:

Gingerbread Cookies
(3 Dozen)

- 8 Tbsp. Butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dark molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. ground cloves.

Beat butter with sugar and molasses. Mix in egg. (Do not overmix! If it's a little lumpy, that's ok - and, yes, the molasses really does smell that bad.) Sift dry ingredients and mix into wet mixture. Chill in freezer 1 hour or refrigerator 2 hours. Heat ove to 350F. Roll out portion of dough 1/4" thick on lightly floured board (I find that this is easier if you separate the dough into two discs before chilling and only roll out half at a time). Cut with cookie cuter, place on greased baking sheet (or on parchment paper, which I'm much more partial to). Bake 8-10 minutes.

*hearts you majorly* ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ← That much!

(& heavens, I didn't mean to make you type that much. Thank you, thank you, thank you! *loves gingerbread*)

Hey, absolutely no worries about the typing! I've only recently gotten back into baking in a big way, so it's fun to share recipes. :D

So it turns out that if you accidentally overbeat the batter, and then your freezer isn't working well or something and by the time you finish rolling it out it's turned back to batter and you basically have to slather as one big smudge it onto the cookie sheet you're using instead of the parchment paper you meant to buy, and then if you cook it just a smidge too long because your oven is highly unreliable and you misjudge its temperature even with the oven thermometer, it turns out? It turns out they're really good cookies.

The true test of a cookie's worth: if you mess something up, do they still taste delicious. I'm glad these pass the test! Have you eaten all of them yet? :D

Which batch? *g* But no, I actually haven't eaten them all yet--I'm a little surprised by my restraint. But maybe that's because it didn't occur to me until just now to have them for breakfast. Hmmm. *rubs hands together & schemes*

I can attest to the fact that they taste really good with Earl Grey tea. *clears throat, looks innocent*
