Earl Grey Cookies

March 14th, 2011 . by Noah

As Promised, here is the vegan version of the Earl Grey Cookies. Pretty sure the only change was to switch out the butter for Smart Balance.

Earl Grey Tea Cookies

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon Earl Grey tea leaves (about 3 bags of tea leaves)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup vegan Smart Balance

Water (add 1 teaspoon at a time)

In a food processor pulse together the flour, sugar, powdered sugar, tea leaves and salt. Add vanilla and Smart Balance and pulse until dough looks like gravel. Continue pulsing dough adding 1 teaspoon of water at a time until dough forms a ball.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Roll out dough on a floured surface, dough should be between ¼ and ? inches thick. Use small cookie cutters and place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges just start to turn brown.

Rejected by Cracked: Villains In Their Spare Time

March 9th, 2011 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

I thought Cracked and I we cool again. They used some of my entries in their last few contests. I made #7 in the Products that Apparently Exist in Movies contest and I placed 4 times in the Children’s Games Turned into Movies contest. But the latest contest was a chance to see what villains do in their spare time. This is some of the comedic gold Cracked passed on…

Feeling deep loss, and unsure how to express it?

February 26th, 2011 . by Andy (TANcast's #1 Ear-Rapist)

I am currently unable to reach Twitter. At all. The DNS lookup succeeds, but the connection to their server is never made and eventually times out.

I turned on the news to see if there was widespread panicking and rioting, but since they were just talking about Lindsay Lohan’s latest fashion faux pas (“Prison Jumpsuit Orange? Not this season, and certainly not with that complexion!”) and how Julian Assange might be in al-Qaeda, I assume this is a local issue.

Maybe Twitter forgot to pay Comcast their protection money

The Fail Whale

Right now I can't even see this.

The whole situation made me want to tweet about how much it sucks when Twitter goes down. It took a moment for the stupidity of that thought to sink in.

That made me want to tweet about what a silly, stupid monkey I can be early on a Saturday morning. Rinse, repeat.

What followed was a strange spiral of uncertainty and mild self-loathing that I won’t recount in detail. Suffice it to say that Real Sugar Dr. Pepper (in the Throwback Can!®) cures all ills.

As the caffeine hit my brain and the empty calories hit my ass, I remembered I have a blog.

Y’know, I really ought to come here more often.
