I actually agree with Andy for a change. but seeing as how it's
Andy's advice, I would have just silently skipped the suggestion.

Again., there is no such thing. I don't care what the marketing guys
come up with to fool customers, but there is no such thing as fat free
cream, and that would include half-and-half. It sounds like a USDA
loophole since "half and half" probably does not have a USDA
definition. But we all know it's half milk, and half cream.

He didn't do ME a favor! He asked ME to bake the cookies for his
Christmas party. He wanted the cookies and they were HIS ingredients for
HIS cookies. Since he likes the cookies that I bake, I told him what to
buy. He got the wrong chocolate chips, so he didn't get exactly the same
cookie that he likes. The whole point is that we had two bags of
chocolate chips left over and I don't like big fucking chips in my
cookies, nor do I want to stand there with a knife and chop them into
little pieces, but I would like some milk chocolate candy with nuts in
them and if I can put those chocolate chips to use (since I don't want to
use them in cookies), that's great.


They're forever chocolate chips? That's pretty depressing. That means I
can't even melt them down to turn them into a chocolate bar. Oh, you're
wrong about that. Oh well, I'm not surprised.


I don't think grocery stores take back food items unless there's something
wrong with them, or unless maybe it's a canned item.

Why don't I just start a latch-hook project, knit a pair of socks or maybe
mow the lawn with a pair of scissors?

I'm not being anal about the chocolate chips. I'm being anal about people
misunderstanding what's going on here. I provided a little background
story about how I ended up with chocolate chips I don't want, and now
everybody is being judgmental toward me, as if I should be happy to have
chocolate chips at all. They act as if the chocolate chips were a special
gift to me and that I'm unappreciative of my friend's generosity. That is
nothing like what this is about. *HE* got the wrong chips for *HIS*
cookies. I used what was needed and we had a couple of bags left over.
Neither he nor I like big, fat chocolate chips. I don't want to cut them
into little pieces with a knife when I can more easily go to the store and
get the teeny-tiny chocolate chips. I will turn the big chocolate chips
into something else.

I'm not sure about that. If google can keep spam out of their email,
they are capable of keeping spam out of google groups (public
usenet)... so I have a feeling it's more practical than that.

Employees use gmail for business, so google keeps gmail is as spam
free as possible ($$$). Usenet isn't used for business purposes, so
it doesn't get as much attention.

You DO have a reading comprehension problem, or you're not reading the
messages at all. The chocolate chips were left over from my baking
cookies for a Christmas party he was going to. I didn't even go to the
party. I just baked a few hundred cookies for it.

In MY experience, chocolate chips taste NOTHING like raw fish heads (not
that I have ever tasted raw fish heads), but if that is your experience,
well, I can understand at least half of your culinary problems.

Okay, that made me laugh. To be honest, I think it would be pretty
hard to swallow a crown unless you're the type that doesn't chew their
food before swallowing.

I would call it "fake fat free half and half". One word difference. ;^)

They definitely add chemical stuff to give it that mouth feel without
the real milk fat. I have no idea how it works in recipes.

Semi-sweet. I hate milk chocolate and I have an equally intense
dislike of white "chocolate".
