Basically, we all have an idea of what a chocolate chip cookie is, and we all (more or less) know what makes up a choc. chip cookie. However, we all put those ingredients together in different ways. This is like a theory of crime. We all pretty much share the same idea of what crime is. Each theory has specific components (ingredients), but when they're tested (when cookies are made), the components are used and defined in different ways. Thus, our final outcome (test of a theory or making cookies) is different. I think that was his point...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193248060944777520.post-48480541601218931152008-10-30T19:06:00.000-05:002008-10-30T19:06:00.000-05:00so what did that have to do with theory? and what ...so what did that have to do with theory? and what did the one with the 3 tablespoons of baking soda taste like?Lainey Seylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769865388127949009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193248060944777520.post-2379393528825409092008-10-30T18:08:00.000-05:002008-10-30T18:08:00.000-05:00Wow, those are some pretty funky cookies.The first...Wow, those are some pretty funky cookies.<BR/><BR/>The first week of my theory class this semester, the professor gave us each a plastic bag full of chocolate chips and told us to make chocolate chip cookies without using a recipe or getting advice from anything/anyone. One or two turned out pretty tasty, but some were a joke. There was the guy who used 3 TABLESPOONS of baking soda. Oh, and the girl who microwaved her Brummel and Brown and poured it, still hot, into the mixture. Can you say melted chocolate chips? One guy (of course) wimped out and just put chocolate chips in cupcake papers and melted them.<BR/><BR/>The next week we all had to follow the directions on the package to the t. Again, only some turned out to be "normal."<BR/><BR/>Did I mention the professor made us try all the cookies?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193248060944777520.post-22207318467859221492008-10-30T16:52:00.000-05:002008-10-30T16:52:00.000-05:00you win some, you lose some.you win some, you lose some.Craig Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263173192494982685noreply@blogger.com
