So I’d set aside tonight to read “A Cure for Boredom” which I had decided not to read until it was finished.  I was super excited, though, because Emmagrant01 is an old friend from HP fandom who writes THE AWESOMEST SMUT EVAR and incidentally is one of the very very few writers who ever got me to read and enjoy Harry/Draco fic. So I opened up the first chapter on LJ. Read it. Read the second chapter. *pause* Yeah, Imma need some fucking popcorn.

Chocolate Covered Coconut White Chocolate Bon Bons

1.  Start melting your chocolate coating.  You’ll need two packages.  I like Plymouth brand almond chocolate-flavored bark, you can get it at WalMart.  You really need to use a double boiler for this; there’s almost no other way to keep the chocolate hot and smooth without scorching it.

2.  Combine 5 cups sugar, 1.5 cups sour cream and 2 sticks margarine in a large heavy pot.  Bring it to a boil.

3.  Boil the mixture until it reaches soft-ball stage, 240 degrees F, on a candy thermometer.  If you don’t have one, about ten minutes’ boil ought to do it.

4.  Remove from heat.  Add in one bag of white chocolate chips and 13 oz of marshmallow creme (two of the small jars or one of the big ones).  Combine well until smooth.  Let it cool for a bit.

5.  Your chocolate ought to be melting by now; give it a stir every few minutes and make sure the bottom of your double boiler doesn’t go dry.

6.  Add two large bags sweetened coconut to the filling.  Stir it up good.  With a spoon, portion it out into small clumps onto waxed paper.  Once you’ve filled up the waxed paper, go back to the beginning -your first clumps ought to be cool enough to handle now - and roll them into balls.  Put them on a cookie sheet with waxed paper.  Pop them in the freezer for about ten minutes.  While those chill, keep going with the filling balls.

7.  Robe the balls in coating.  I like the two-fork method.  Transfer to waxed paper to cool and set up.  Keep doing this until you’re done.

Lori’s Famous Sugar Cookies 58

Lori’s Famous Sugar Cookies

I’m happy to share my recipe for my sugar cookies, my biggest claim to fame as a cook.  I did not invent them, of course, I got the recipe from Taste of Home, but there is a bit of a trick to it.

These are not the cakey, dense sort of sugar cookies.  These are light, crispy and melt in your mouth.  These are hazardous and they will vanish fast, good thing the recipe makes a lot.  I once brought these to a family gathering and my grandfather, who was a cook himself and never praises any food, EVER, ate one and said “Lor, are these ever GOOD!”  And they are (and yes, my family sometimes calls me “Lor.”)

They are not difficult and the recipe makes about 7 dozen.  I’ve included all my hard-won tips.

Today I am cooking. 22

Today I am cooking.

A little-known fact about me is that I make the best sugar cookies in the world.  Trufax.  They are light, crispy, flavorful and melt in your mouth.  I don’t make them that often.  Today I am making a batch to take to my department potluck tomorrow.

I’m having some friends over tonight and I am making a roast turkey dinner!  Homemade giblet stuffing, green bean casserole, creamy mashed potatoes and thick homemade gravy.

YOU WISH YOU LIVED NEAR ME NOW DON’T YOU.

Who is the MadLori?

I'm Lori. I'm 38, a scientist and a freelance writer. Fanfiction is my drug of choice. This is where I dump all my obsessive fannishness along with whatever else strikes me. At the moment the dominant fandom is Sherlock. That can change at anytime. Be warned. Eye protection should be worn in this area.

I have published one novel, a gay romantic thriller, under my pseudonym. You can buy it here or at Amazon.
