I have GOT to get the Pecan Praline Cookie Triangles in the oven ASAP so that I can have them DONE and the oven available for the turkey...but I just realized I have no baking soda in the house -- HELP???????
 
There is no substitution for baking soda. Is there a grocery near you that's open this morning? Or even a 7-11?
 
closest neighbor
 
By us, major supermarket chains are open for at least the morning (my hubby is off to one soon to get cat food!)
Good Luck and have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Evaporated milk in coffee?? Ewww!
 
Just curious but why ewww on the ev. milk in coffee? I'd think it'd be preferable to skim milk in coffee (which is too watery and well, ev. milk is less watery)... is it the whole comin' from a can thing?
 
I like actual cream in my coffee, preferably raw organic cream.
 
Personally, if it weren't for French Vanilla Creamer I'd have no reason to drink coffee!
 
I have some seasonal cinnamon rum flavored creamer in the fridge. Yum!!
 
Blasphemy! Why would you do that to perfectly good coffee? LOL You KNOW I had to chime in on that! When we went to Jamaica and sampled coffee, they used sweetened codensed milk. It was really good!
 
How funny AJ! Now my hubby has tried that and hated it! Different strokes for different folks!!! And as for me, I like 1/2 & 1/2! Sometimes I like the flavored creamers, but mostly I like half & half!
 
Don't tell any of my coffee friends, like the guys I visted when I was in Chicago, but I do use half and half in my coffee. They would disown me if they knew that!

Your secret is safe with me ;) Did you have to choke it down "au naturalle" when you were with them? gag! My inlaws drink their coffee straight-up....no sugar, no cream.....just coffee......yick!
 
I like cream in my Kaluah!!:sing:
 
Funny how this thread turned into a discussion on how each of you like your coffee!:D
 
You should be used to that around here, Cat. :) I usually have Half and Half in the house for my coffee. Just never got into drinking it black. But at least I don't put sugar in it.
 
My first 2 cups in the morning MUST be straight up - strong and black.....right now I am addicted to Dunkin' Doughnuts blend (it's now available in stores!:) ). Then, after I have those first 2 (I just poured #2) I like to use different creamers (in the fridge right now is Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer, mmmmm!) or, if I have it - heavy (whipping) cream. Ohhhh, is that ever good! It's like drinking hot coffee ice cream!:thumbup:

Haha...that's true, but usually the conversation goes back and forth. But since the baking soda issue is resolved, I guess we can only talk about the coffee now!

I have nothing else to add, since I don't drink coffee. (Although I LOVE my mint green tea!):)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake Pecan Praline Cookie Triangles without Baking Soda?

Yes, you can bake Pecan Praline Cookie Triangles without baking soda, but the texture and rise of the cookies may be affected. Baking soda acts as a leavening agent, helping the cookies to spread and rise properly.

What can I use instead of baking soda in Pecan Praline Cookie Triangles?

If you don't have baking soda, you can use baking powder as a substitute. Use about three times the amount of baking powder as you would baking soda, but keep in mind that this may alter the flavor slightly.

Will omitting baking soda change the taste of the cookies?

Omitting baking soda may not significantly change the taste of the Pecan Praline Cookie Triangles, but it can affect the texture, making them denser and less chewy.

How will the texture of the cookies change without baking soda?

Without baking soda, the cookies may turn out denser and less fluffy. They might not spread as much during baking, resulting in a thicker cookie that is more cake-like in texture.

Is it necessary to have baking soda for a successful cookie recipe?

While baking soda is commonly used in cookie recipes for leavening, it is not strictly necessary. You can still make cookies without it, but you may need to adjust other ingredients or methods to achieve the desired texture and rise.
