So my cookies would have my trademark fingerprints or dents or holes (don't ask). I've learned to wait, but when I try a new recipe, it's hard to wait for it to cool before I cut into it or take a bite. I do enjoy your blog and I want to tell you to keep up the great work.

I learned the hard way (chopping hundreds of peppers and then absentmindedly wiping my eye) that the best thing to do is to chop wearing plastic gloves. I never thought of oil though, I'll have to give that a try.

I often cook and bake with them because I find stick butters to be a real nuisance. This is a MUCH better alternative to butter than margarine. Joy, thanks for the list, and for making such a clear point on butter :) Melinda, Earth Balance (and other companies, I’m sure) sells vegan butters made from vegetable oils that taste 98% identical to regular butter.

I do seriously wish you'd consider those of us who bake because of allergy. Dairy could kill my five year old...so go easy on those of us who have to use butter substitutes, please. :) Love the oil tip for jalapenos.

As for rule number four, I've found that rubbing your hands on a stainless steel sink while rinsing them gets rid of all of those nasty chili oils. Works for garlic fingers, too.
