CR poses like the awkward trees.

Tonight we made my favorite Levain Bakery cookies at home!!
We substituted normal cocoa powder for dark cocoa powder, so they are a bit lighter, but otherwise just as delicious, and far less than $3.75 each.
Levain Copycat Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
(**Yields 1 dozen cookies)Ingredients
2 sticks cold unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup good quality dark cocoa powder
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
3/4 to 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
2 cups peanut butter chipsDirections
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle, cream together butter and sugar until well blended and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until well-incorporated, then beat in cocoa powder. Mix in flour, salt and baking powder until just combined. Gently fold in remaining ingredients.Transfer dough to clean work surface and gently mix dough by hand to ensure even distribution of ingredients. Divide into 12 equal portions, **about 4 oz each, and place each on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Bake in the preheated oven 16-20 minutes depending on how gooey and raw’ish you like the middles, taking care not to overbake.
Let cool on a rack and store what you don’t immediately eat, in an airtight container. To freshen them after a few days (if they last that long), give them a quick nuke in the microwave for 5-10 seconds

The Box trailer
Skip to 1:41 to hear the SAME THEME from Saw that could be heard in the Valkyrie trailer a short while back. Can’t they come up with something new?
As things stand now, Paul McCartney must grudgingly pay Jackson and Sony/ATV each time he performs “Hey Jude” or many of his other Beatles compositions. Jackson and Sony/ATV each own 50 percent of the publishing rights to these songs: Jackson won them over McCartney in a 1985 closed auction for $47.5 million, sold half to Sony/ATV in 2005, posted the other half as collateral on a loan and optioned half of that share to Sony/ATV in 2006 to control interest on his mounting debt.
Michael Jackson’s patented shoes for the Smooth Criminal lean (amazingillusions)
PC was just wondering where he might get a pair of these shoes, and was disappointed to learn that they wouldn’t work without the corresponding rigged-up stage.
I was disappointed to learn that Michael Jackson and his dancers weren’t doing the lean all by themselves!
