Word For The Day, Tuesday December 16, 2014
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
doxing
-n
Doxing (from dox, abbreviation of documents),[1] alternatively spelled doxxing,[2][3] is the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting personally identifiable information about an individual.
[The term dox derives from the slang “dropping dox,” which according to writer Matt Honan was "an old-school revenge tactic that emerged from hacker culture in 1990s." ]
la ubicación [oo-bee-kahs-ee-OHN]

location, position
La ubicación exacta de la casa es desconocida.
The exact location of the house isn’t known.
Sure. Later tonight.
No-I haven’t, but I don’t like peanuts much in any form.
What are biscoff cookies?
Wow never heard of those. They look good and ridiculously easy!
Mara Liasson is prone to coughing fits amd has had one tonight
I don’t ever use my debit card-or any other card-to shop-always write a check or pay cash, because I am a fanatic about seeing the bill is correct before I pay it. I felt for that manager, though-the two customers in line behind me were laughing...
Are we supposed to know what gingerpigs are?
Whyisa and xs probably do, because they are a Texas and Hispanic thing-they are just thick gingerbread cookies made with a pig-shaped cookie cutter-the panaderia out here sells them in bags of a dozen. The smell of them is delightful, and they are not awfully sweet.
Biscoff is a cinammon type hard plain cookie sometimes served on airlines - our first time having them was on a trip.
They are surprisingly good - but first time I made them I was sure they would flop.... sticky and so light I thought they would just melt onto the pan
Sorry - I’ve never seen gingerpigs
There has to be some sort of binder, right? Those things are too dry to make a paste by themselves.
Yes - it seriously looks exactly like peanut butter, just doesn’t taste like it. Probably mixed with lard! lol Try it though - really good
Chocolate Waffles
1/2 cup shortening
7/8 cup sugar
1 3/8 cups flour
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp salt
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 eggs, well beaten
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Cream shortening, beat in sugar. Add melted chocolate and well beaten eggs. Mix and sift flour, salt and cinnimon and add to first mixture. Add flavoring.
Drop by spoonful on each section of waffle iron and bake 2 minutes. Use lower heat setting than for regular waffle iron, it’s the next lowest setting under waffles. Frost cookies when cool. Decorate for season, if desired.
Thanks!
I’ll bet those waffle cookies are cute!
We eat them too fast to notice if cute or not. LOL
I’ve mixed up a packaged brownie mix and cooked on the waffle iron before - turned out great! But I like the idea of a cookie waffle -
