Hey, question for the pastry chefs and food scientists in my pocket pal group, in the category of "Will this kill me?"

I made cowboy cookie dough last weekend. I baked four trays and then put about two trays worth in a sealed catering container in the fridge.

I just took the dough out, and it smells like I added booze to the dough. Not unpleasantly so, the aroma is that of an oak aged old cognac. But I've not added cognac to this cookie dough.

I don't understand fermentation, but I don't think anything in dough can ferment in a fridge, can it?

Ingredients: butter, ground oats, wheat flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and soda, lemon juice, milk chocolate chips and dark chocolate bar bits.

Anyone know what could cause this, and if it's dangerous? (I baked and ate a cookie, but Daughter is convinced I'm mere moments from an Ergot episode where I will declare myself a witch and start a bonfire. To be fair, it is Friday, so I might...)

Interested in working at DAIR? We're hiring a communications lead, who we needed yesterday. Is that you? Please apply. Is that people you know? Please share the job ad with them so that they apply.

đź’Ąđź’Ąđź’Ą No "AI" generated applications please. We read every application. E.g. we read through nearly 600 internship applications a couple of years back. It's pretty easy to tell whether someone is blasting slop or truly spending the time to apply.

I disliked the AI summaries in Gmail from the instant they appeared. I can read, dammit, and all the summaries are doing is cluttering up the workspace.

Lookee! You can turn them off! Here's how: https://opus.ing/posts/how-to-remove-ai-overviews-gmail

Heard a therapist say: “People who need therapy don’t come to us, their victims do” and that took my head off.

Welp.

Regarding most recent reblog: Eli is also a dear friend of mine and if you can boost the GFM or spread the word to any Detroit metro area people about a kind, friendly nonbinary person and their cute little dog looking for a spare room, that would be great, and I can put you in touch.
