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. (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

but it makes sense, ginger has some hotness, different from other hot thingies. Peppermint does as well, so its like
