Forty some odd posts in and no one has yet suggested  
OP should switch to decaf.

I’m ashamed of you guys. You’re slipping.

It would have been more entertaining if it over-the-top frothing on inane subjects wasn’t a daily occurrence on my subway rides. As it is, I’m a little burnt out on raving lunatics.

Only about 1/2 the ranters ask for money. Some just like the captive audience. The vast majority do smell though.

[No-Bake Chocolate Kahlua Cheesecake](http://food-porn.livejournal.com/4580330.html?thread=51443178)  
For crust:  
1 cup Graham cracker crumbs  
¼ cup (or ½ stick) butter, melted  
2 Tbsp sugar  
Dash of cinnamon

For Cheesecake:  
½ envelope unflavored gelatin  
¼ cup sugar  
½ cup boiling water  
1 pkg cream cheese, 8oz.  
½ tsp vanilla extract  
1-2 oz Kahlua  
Chocolate syrup for swirl topping

Grease a small pie pan. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 2 Tbsp sugar, and cinnamon. Press into bottom and sides of pie pan. Chill in freezer while preparing the filling.

Mix gelatin and ¼ cup sugar in small bowl. Add boiling water and stir until gelatin completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Beat cream cheese and vanilla in mixer until smooth. Then slowly beat in gelatin mixture and Kahlua. Pour into prepared crust. Make a spiral pattern with the chocolate syrup. Using a knife, draw careful shallow lines from the center outwards as if you were cutting slices. It should look like a spiderweb!

Refrigerate until firm, a minimum of three hours. It’s better if left overnight.

So how does the OP feel about breakfast cookies with bacon? Do cookies have to be sweet as well as baked?

Does the OP also shun cookie dough ice-cream? It’s so good, but it’s got unbaked cookies in it, or uncooked bakies.

[This](http://allrecipes.com/recipe/award-winning-soft-chocolate-chip-cookies/detail.aspx) is my favorite cookie recipe. They’re amazing. I’ve tried a lot over the years, and these are hands-down the best.

And YES, YOU DO HAVE TO BAKE THEM, YOU LAZY BASTARDS!!

Cafe across the street from where I work added donuts a couple of months back. In the mix they had 3 regular long johns and 3 with bacon on top. Every day when I’d work the later shift, they’d be sold out of the regular long johns but have two or even all three of the bacon ones sitting there. They finally stopped carrying them this week.

The Age of Bacon is over.

I think the OP is a dog whistle to white supremacists.

It’s a know fact that Hitler wouldn’t touch no-bake cookies.

I refuse to accept cooking (or baking) advice from anyone who uses the phrase “cloves of brocoli(sic)”.
