  I want more opinions on my search for the world's greatest cookies.

  0 0 These are ridiculous: http://leitesculinaria.com/9951/recipes-perfect-chocolate-chip-cookies.html Easily the best cookies I've ever made. Some of, if not the best I've ever eaten. Intensely chocolatey without reaching overkill, with a variety of textures throughout the cookie, from crisp edges to a chewy center.

  Help! Why is my coffee drink suddenly tasting flowery???!!!

  2 0 Strange. Some of the coffees Starbucks offers have floral notes, but they only use Espresso Roast for that sort of beverage. It's easy to pull a horrible tasting shot, but Espresso Roast is designed to have a smoother profile. There's nothing that could be done in preparation to get a floral note from it. Did the same person make your beverage each time? It seems to me the most likely culprit is the person handling your beverage (or the nonfat milk, since it tasted fine when you switched to regular) was wearing perfume or lotion. If it got onto the lid or the rim of the cup, it could affect the taste of the beverage. RJF answered in Food & Drink about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  What Karaoke bars have a good Motown selection?

  0 0 The Yen Wor Village in West Seattle has an excellent selection, PLUS the DJ has extra tracks not in the catalog, so if you don't see what you want, ask. RJF answered in Food & Drink about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  Is my cat trying to kill me?

  6 0 Your cat likely has a budding desire to kill you, but is hesitant to pull the trigger, so to speak. It sounds to me as though he is murder-curious and there is a distinct possibility this stage will pass. It is encouraging to see that he has poured his curiosity into creative outlets such as drawing. I encourage you to help foster your cat's budding art career while discreetly moving the knife block out of reach. Put crayons, not knives in his paws.

  0 0 Sorry to hear that. I'm surprised, a few months back when I had my temporary ID, I used it at the liquor store later that afternoon. RJF commented about 1 year ago
