What’re you into, what’re you looking forward to, what’re you happy about?

Please

I am feeling terribly self-harmy in advance of my birthday next week

I got to the point of making a pros and cons chart

give me something to be vicariously happy about or something to look forward to, please

    Cookie report card:

    Black pepper works, surprisingly nicely actually, feels like different heat than ginger. (A-)

    Mint - kinda meh, cooling effect isn’t felt. Althoug smell of mint is felt in breath/roof of mouth, dunno how to describe it, like after minty candy or toothpaste. Maybe i should dump a whole load of it, dunno. But very complicated taste. Maybe if i lost clove and got fresh leafs (or very strong ones) it could work. thonk (B, needs some work, likely complicated balance to find)

      Have you created a whole new genre of cookie here?? I’ve never heard of a pepper cookie, but it sounds awesome and I’d totally try one.

      🤩 I’m impressed with your ingenuity! I would never have thought of trying that.

        I don’t think so, in some recipes i’ve seen mentions of ginger cookies with pepper soviet-hmm

        but it makes sense, ginger has some hotness, different from other hot thingies. Peppermint does as well, so its like shy two spicy things, but differently spicy meow-fiesta
