Sunday Randomness #330: Desired Result vs. Unintended Consequences: Bird Feeder Edition

The pigeons swooped in at the rendezvous location.  The agile lead birds pushed and pulled at the red-capped feeders while the troops devoured the spilled feed down to the bare dirt, pecking and clawing over every scrap of seed and grain.  In a matter of seconds (that may have extended to a couple of minutes), it was all over-the still swinging empty bird feeders a silent testament to the quick teamwork of the flock. Not a single grey-feathered marauder remained to attest to the disappearance of the provender which was gone in a minute fraction of a day.

Author #178 : Mr. Eggers shares a colorful story of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge

This Bridge Will Not Be Gray by Dave Eggers and illustrated by Tucker Nichols tells the story of the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge back in the 1930's and how it got and kept the beautiful "International Orange" color that it still sports to this day.  Dave Eggers also wrote the book The Circle which was made into a movie in 2017 starring Tom Hanks and Emma Watson.  He also has another wonderful children's book called Her Right Foot that talks about some of the history of the Statue of Liberty.

A cookie for Christmas-White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
(Thanks to PreppyKitchen.com for the original recipe.)

1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 pinch baking powder
1 pinch salt (unless using salted butter then omit salt)

Whisk dry ingredients together.

1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temp.  (I did cut the butter down to about 6 TBSP instead of 8 and used salted butter)
1/2 cup sugar plus 1 TBSP.

Cream together sugar and butter.

1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg at room temp.
1/4 tsp. peppermint oil

Add egg and flavorings to butter mixture and mix well, scraping down sides of bowl and mixing again.   Add flour mixture slowly, scraping down bowl.

Gently stir in:

3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed candy canes

Crush more candy canes to get about a 1/2 cup crushed candy and place in small shallow bowl.  Form dough into golf ball size balls and dip top of balls into crushed candy canes.  Place on parchment lined baking sheet and chill for 8-10 minutes.  Then bake in 350 F oven for 6-9 minutes or until lightly browned underneath and cookies are flattened and set.  Let cool on baking sheet and use a different baking sheet for the final batch.  This is a small recipe and only made about 21 cookies.
