Friday, 12/5/25

 Dinner with Jen and John; John wanted to make the sliders from Thanksgiving (and I was not about to tell him we already had them this week). Jason adapted his dinner roll recipe for slider type buns (flavor and texture were perfect; the shape was a little awkward); we used bone-in chicken thighs this time which worked well but would have been even better if I had had more time to let them cook. Nobody was complaining, though. Another thing I changed was to sear the corn before mixing in the other ingredients and I think it was a good idea.

I made a batch of Key Lime Thumbprint cookies from Bon Appetit. Some of them flattened out a little too much (I think the dough was't mixed quite well enough), and the recipe called for flattening the cookies before baking, which I would not do again, but other than that they were really nice. I really like the texture and taste of the cookies themselves; a regular lime curd might have been a better filling choice (plus now we have an annoying amount of leftover sweetened condensed milk).
