Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Ingredients:

1.) 532.35 cm3 gluten (flour)
2.) 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3 (baking Powder)
3.) 4.9 cm3 refined halite (salt)
4.) 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride (Crisco)
5.) 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11(Sugar)
6.) 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11 (sugar)
7.) 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic
aldehyde (my guess vanilla flavoring)
8.) Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
(eggs)
9.) 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao (cocoa)
10.) 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats
(sieve size #10) (nuts)

Method:

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1)
with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100
Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with
constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel
with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add
ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture
is homogenous.

To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three
equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1.
Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with
constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in
the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be
the result of an exothermic reaction. Using a screw
extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture
piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat
in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement
with Frank & Johnston's first order rate expression
(see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown.

Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a
25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come
to equilibrium.

"Kitchen Philosophy"

A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen and this
kitchen is delirious.

No husband has ever been shot while doing the
dishes.

A husband is someone who takes out the trash
and gives the impression he just cleaned the
whole house.

If we are what we eat, then I'm easy, fast, and
cheap.

A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves
for they shall never cease to be amused.

A clean house is a sign of a misspent life.

Help keep the kitchen clean - eat out!

Housework done properly can kill you.

Countless number of people have eaten in this
kitchen and gone on to lead normal lives.

My next house will have no kitchen --- just
vending machines.
