Cookies should never be crunchy, if they are, someone doesn't know how to bake.

:hello:

I made snickerdoodles and oatmeal-raisin-chocolate chip, and no one will eat the snickerdoodles. 🙁 I'm fairly certain the oatmeal ones are only being eaten because they contain chocolate.

... Oatmeal cookies that contain raisins AND chocolate chips are the reason I have trust issues. Hehe but really, I like soft cookies way better than hard ones! Snickerdoodles are underrated, but I like them 🙂

The fact that any cookies exist with raisins give me trust issues... ugh. I've been burned so many times.

I love snickerdoodles. You could send some my way 😉

I find it depends on the cookie. Snickerdoodles I like soft. Chocolate chip I don't mind a tiny bit of crunch and there's been a few that I've loved that are definitely crunchy. Oatmeal raisin= soft, but I also like those harder oatmeal cookies with icing on them.

I've been told I make a pretty mean blueberry, white chocolate chip cookie.

I would try those, too.

Chocolate chip cookies should not be crunchy. there are hard cookies that I like. Sugar cookies need a little to hold shape better - same with gingerbread. I like them soft, too.

I make a mean choc chip cookie. And peanut butter cookies with hershey kisses and sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies. I do all the cookie making in my family.

First of all milk is gross. Second, I'm lactose intolerant. So I don't drink milk with my cookies or anything else

I'm also lactose intolerant! If I'm going to have dairy, I try to time it so that I can suffer alone and not drag anyone down with me (or I use Lactaid). Have you tried the Fairlife milk, even if you just need to cook with it? It's a little pricey, but the lactose is filtered out so it doesn't have that gross, sweet taste that milk with lactase in it has. I'm really liking it. Also agree with the soft cookie thing. Never trust a person who prefers crunchy cookies.
 
I bought white chocolate macadamia nut cookies today. I was very unpleasantly surprised when I took the first crunchy, hard bite 🙁

I basically use lactaid or eat/drink dairy at night. I really don't like the taste though. I tend to use cashew milk to cook with
 
I'm curious if any upperclassmen/graduates have words of wisdom in this regard: emergency drugs. I've been trying to get a handle on how to run a code from the doctor's perspective and the hang up for me is the drugs. When do you use atropine? When do you use epi? I've seen people give epi then atropine, and I've seen them give atropine then epi and I've seen them push both at the same time. I know textbooks say to repeat "the drugs" every 3-4 minutes if there's no response but I can't find anything stating why you would do one and then the other but I could just be looking in the wrong place.

so dont let drugs be the hang up for you, because truthfully they are no where near as important and good compressions and an airway. i'd recommend reading the RECOVER articles, particularly RECOVER 7 if you havent already. as for what you use and when, i think a lot of it ends up being clinician dependent and scenario dependent. vasopressin is another "commonly" used drug, but it is intermittently on back order and can literally be $100s for a code, depending upon pet size. there really isnt a good one size fits all answer to your question unfortunately. as for comfort level, i feel like this is something you get thrown into the fire with a time or two and then you start to pick it up. its so much different when you are the doctor running the code vs. when you are a tech or assisting dr.

- you should be able to find the RECOVER articles on JVECCs free access, but if not, PM an email address and I can forward them on

Thanks! RECOVER 7 being the one on clinical guidelines? I'd never heard of these articles, but this looks like it's essentially what I'm looking for. I asked a criticalist last night why he ended up giving epi and atropine at the same time and he just said "It works better." Good enough for me, I guess! Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction 🙂

If you PM me your email, I have all of the RECOVER docs in an old email and can toss them all your way in one go. 🙂

yeah the others go through the evidence, but 7 is the clinical guidelines. its the one they make you read when they want you to know something 😉 the silverstein ECC book also has a couple of chapters on this stuff too if you havent read through there, but i think RECOVER gives you a good synopsis. honestly, everyone should read through RECOVER 7 at some point, it tells you what you need to know, and thats where those CPR charts come from (the algrhythm and the drugs)

The RECOVER initiative basically brought the college together to look at the evidence for what people are doing to provide clinical guidelines. prior to that, everyone (including DACVECCs) did what they thought was personally best because no one had ever really looked at the stats to say whether yes x is helpful or no definitely don't do y. there isn't a lot of literature in vet med, but they reviewed the human med stuff too and we extrapolate. part of what i find so fascinating about ECC as a specialty is that it is by far the closest specialty to human med from a knowledge perspective and application stand point. heck, the residents here even rotate through human ICU rounds several times a year.

My brain just squealed in delight. @DVMDream , I don't know that you like comic books, but still!

Can someone explain to me how they just let this woman run to the back?? But anyway. It's a dangerous world out there.

Do you really expect receptionists to throw themselves in front of a deranged woman with a gun? That's asking an awful lot for what they get paid...

You make a good point. I didn't think she had pulled out the gun until she was already in the back. But it any case it's been established that it wasn't a real story.
 
I'm hoping the people who checked out my LinkedIn account today are associated with one of the jobs I've applied to recently. That would be great. I'm particularly excited about a food safety sanitarian job in the dairy program. It's very well paid for an entry level position and I exceed the education requirements so I'm hoping to at least interview. Plus, I like dairy moo-cows. :cow:
 
I finally made it outside for the first time in a couple days. It has been raining on and off for today, and the yard is flush with fallen leaves and fresh air. I should not have been enticing my dog to run full speed towards me in the dark, but alas, my happiness about taking a moment from the computer and rejoining reality was great. I was taken out by said equally enthusiastic dog. I now have a large lump rising in the vicinity of my left temporal region and what will be a very colorful bruise underneath beautifully extended scratches from some overdue for a trim nails on my thigh. Good stuff. 🙂
