Okay, I'm filing that one away next to "The difference between soup and gravy is mostly how much you reduce it." Interesting, and it increases my understanding.

This will doubtless go astray, but it looks to me like it would make cookies:

1/4# sugar
1/4# butter
2 C flour
4 eggs
1C old fashioned oatmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 C raisins ... the slow oven says they get cooked gently.
