Posted: 12.21.2001 Made with love...and a little booty shakin', too
If my neighbors peeked through the blinds a few minutes ago, they got a heckuva dance show! I had WinAmp running while I was makin' and bakin' for tonight's party, and Weezer's "The Good Life" came in the rotation. "... Shakin' booty making sweet love all the night ... It's time I got back to the good life ... It's time I got back ... It's time I got back ... And I don't even know how I got off the track ..."(I seriously think Pinkerton is one of the least-appreciated CDs ever!)
And for those of you who like to bake -- if you don't have a Silpat mat, run, don't walk, and go get one! Between that, and our new oven, I've never had cookies and pastries come out so perfectly before. There's a reason Martha always lectures about having Silpat. They are pretty pricey -- but completely reusable, easy to clean, and they save the bottoms of your baking and cookie sheets. It's one of the best gifts I ever asked for and received!
And you mean to tell me the good people at Williams Sonoma won't look at you with an evil glare and tell you "We don't sell THOSE here"? :) Those look pretty cool - too bad I don't bake enough to justify spending the money!

Now you tell me ;) My poor husband had no ideas what to get me this year. I'll have to remember that for my birthday. Looks like a great concept.

I've always looked at these and lusted after them - they seem so great. I wonder how they work on airbake pans? I have a lot of those, but they still are a pain to clean when you make tons of cookies on them! :)

I'm not sure how they'd work on an Airbake pan Kristine -- I'd definitely ask! Our apt. oven just did not like Airbake pans, so I bought a cookie sheet and jelly roll pan at Williams Sonoma and then asked for the Silpats to go with them for my birthday last year. It was the only combo that wouldn't leave my cookies burnt on the bottom and mushy on top back then. And now with our new oven, I've never had anything come out that great before! Highly recommend them!
