God I love you…and these cookies.

adriennes:

Tonight we made my favorite Levain Bakery cookies at home!!
We substituted normal cocoa powder for dark cocoa powder, so they are a bit lighter, but otherwise just as delicious, and far less than $3.75 each.

Levain Copycat Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
(**Yields 1 dozen cookies)

Ingredients
2 sticks cold unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup good quality dark cocoa powder
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
3/4 to 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
2 cups peanut butter chips

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle, cream together butter and sugar until well blended and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until well-incorporated, then beat in cocoa powder. Mix in flour, salt and baking powder until just combined. Gently fold in remaining ingredients.

Transfer dough to clean work surface and gently mix dough by hand to ensure even distribution of ingredients. Divide into 12 equal portions, **about 4 oz each, and place each on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Bake in the preheated oven 16-20 minutes depending on how gooey and raw’ish you like the middles, taking care not to overbake.

Let cool on a rack and store what you don’t immediately eat, in an airtight container. To freshen them after a few days (if they last that long), give them a quick nuke in the microwave for 5-10 seconds

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:59:06 -0400

“It is important for the country as a whole for the anti-abortion movement to climb down off of the pedestal of “pro-life” and work in a practical way to reduce abortion through honest sex education of young people, safe and available contraception, and the provision of health care and other economic supports for poor women who want to have a child. These are practical and cooperative ways to actually reduce the number of abortions and support an actual ethic of life.

Murdering doctors does not demonstrate pro-life. In fact, murder demonstrates pro-death.

Diva Cups and TSS

Sat, 02 May 2009 12:35:38 -0400

adriennes:

Since I’ve made it my mission to spread the gospel of Diva cup, I’ve been having a lot of conversations about them lately. One friend’s OBGYN, when recently asked about Diva cup safety, told her that he had only been asked about it by a patient once before and didn’t know much about it, but assumed that it might pose greater risk for toxic shock syndrome. I think it’s a shame that more people, and especially medical professionals, don’t know much about them when they have been available in some form or another for many years. Maybe there are just big payoffs from Tampax and OB.

Regarding TSS, it feels like a prevalent threat to our lady parts since we see the warning pamphlet every time we open a new box of tampons, but it has greatly declined since the early 1980s when it first became a big problem. A study showed that it only occured in 3 to 4 tampon using women out of 100,000 in 2004. This 2005 article in the Seattle Times says that at the time it appeared to be on the rise, but I cannot find any more recent information about it. It is not much of a threat, but quietly exists nonetheless.

As far as Diva cups go, no cases of TSS from menstrual cup use have been found. They catch the flow, rather than absorbing all moisture as tampons do. The University of British Columbia is currently conducting a study comparing the safety and user satisfaction rates for tampons and menstrual cups that will conclude in 2010, and I’m interested to see what they turn up.

TSS aside, I also found this tidbit about tampons that makes me even happier to have abandoned them:

Tampons may contain pesticides used on the cotton and chlorinedioxin. A study by the FDA done in 1995 says there are not sufficient amounts of dioxin to pose a health risk; the amount detected ranged from undetectable to 1 part in 3 trillion, which is far less than the normal exposure to dioxin in everyday life. (Wikipedia)

Until they come out with startling statistics about their risks, I’ll continue to encourage as many women as possible to make the switch. Do it! Just be sure to order online instead of being robbed by Whole Foods and their $38 pricetags.

adriennes:Oh Harlem…

aimers:

Week 08 of Project 52 Locations. Manhattan, unlike the other boroughs, has very few subway stations that are above-ground. This past weekend I found myself finally taking pictures of the 125 & Broadway station that I’ve admired since two of my friends moved there a year ago. And I didn’t even get stopped or interrogated by an MTA agent.

My station from 2/06-2/09.
