Cookies and cream cheesecake by The Girl Who Ate Everything 

(adapted from Martha Stewart)

42 Oreos, 30 left whole and 12 coarsely chopped
2 pounds (32 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 275°. Line standard muffin pans with liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each liner.

Beat cream cheese at medium speed using an electric mixer. Gradually add the sugar, beating until combined. Beat in vanilla.

Drizzle in eggs, a bit at a time. Beat in sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies by hand.

Divide batter evenly among cookie-lined cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, about 22 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or up to overnight). Remove from tins just before serving. Best served really cold! You can garnish with fresh whipped cream and crumbled Oreos if desired. 

Makes 30 cheesecakes.

…

I am so confused.

Ahhhh, this person is confused Re: bone char, a common whitening agent used to give sugar its white color. Bone char is, as it souynfs, derived from burnt bones, but cattle bones, not human. Sugar itself comes from sugarcane or sugarbeets, not people!

Whoa, I never knew bones were used in whitening sugar!

The comic is referencing a game in which a fifth element called “sugar” is actually made from burning dead bodies. I don’t think it’s the same sugarcane/sugarbeet sugar as we’re accustomed too, but still, very interesting about the bone char. It may or may not have been the creator’s inspiration behind the “sugar” idea.

All these colors were achieved with red, yellow, blue, and green food coloring mixed into white frosting. The amount of drops needed for the color you want is underneath the icing color. So convenient. :)

100 Beautiful and Ugly Words

by Mark Nichol

One of the many fascinating features of our language is how often words with pleasant associations are also quite pleasing on the tongue and even to the eye, and how many words, by contrast, acoustically and visually corroborate their disagreeable nature — look no further than the heading for this post.
Enrich the poetry of your prose by applying words that provide precise connotation while also evoking emotional responses
