Train Rides

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever done a long train trip where the point was to enjoy the train trip (not just to get from point a to point b)?

Re: Train Rides

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, a few times.

Berlin to Prague via Dresden. We did tour each city for multiple days but chose to take the train for the experience and it did not disappoint.

Sleeper train from London to Edinburgh. It was cool but also way overpriced and the journey was way too short. I think it was like 5.5 hours.

And Bergen railway which was amazing! It’s like nothing I have ever experienced but I will say that on the return journey to Oslo I was kinda bored because I saw pretty much everything on the way to Bergen.

There are some Amtrak tours I’d love to take but the prices are astronomical.

Re: Train Rides

DA but I've been thinking about a Prague via train trip. I keep seeing ones that do Budapest and Prague and that seems fun.

Re: Train Rides

[(Anonymous)]

I still haven’t made it to Hungary yet *cries* Budapest to Prague would be amazing!

I’ve done smaller train rides than the ones I listed. In Slovenia we took two alpine train rides but I don’t remember the details. They were sightseeing loops though and we were holidaying in Bled. I think we had to travel by taxi for only maybe twenty minutes for one and maybe 45 minutes to an hour for the other. And of course we did Zermatt and the Matterhorn. The Matterhorn was wonderful but also it reminded me of the Pike’s Peak cog railway in Colorado which honestly was a little more interesting. And whenever we were on holiday in Copenhagen we would get the city pass and always spent a day riding the trains exploring the surrounding area. The city pass gives (or gave) free access to the metro train up to like zone five which was a very, very large area. We got off in Helsingborg, Denmark and discovered there was a ferry to Helsingor, Sweden so after visiting the palace we went to Sweden on a whim for a few hours. I’ve also taken the Chunnel and it was a very strange and uncomfortable but cool experience. I was in an American car so getting off the train was not easy and I had to idle the whole way when everyone else was flying off at like 80 kmh LOL

no, but the only long train trips I've ever taken were in Japan, where the shinkansen is part of the experience. I really loved those trips. Osaka to Hiroshima, Hiroshima to Kumamoto, Kumamoto back to Osaka. the way the train glided through the countryside, the changing landscapes, the comfy seats, having a nice bento and a 100-yen sake while the world flies by...ahhh...

I consider trains like planes, not like cruise ships. I can't imagine taking one for the express purpose of taking 8hrs to just gawk at the landscape and nothing else - if I wanted that, I'd drive myself in a car.

Re: Train Rides

Tokyo to Osaka on the regular train, not the Shinkansen. It runs down the coast and the scenery is amazing.

Re: Train Rides

[(Anonymous)]

London to Edinburgh (and return) is the only train trip I've ever taken and I loved watching the scenery roll by. The greenery, the fog and low cloud, the sheep and cows grazing. High key my favourite memory of my last trip.

Only wish I'd taken some food the first time (legit thought they would have a food cart rolling along the aisle like in Harry Potter)

Re: Train Rides

[(Anonymous)]

I took Inverness to Glasgow and they had the foot cart rolling along!

SA

[(Anonymous)]

LOL food

Re: Train Rides

I might do that if it were an option near me.

What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

Mine is the classic chocolate chip cookie.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[tabaqui]

A nice, squishy Snickerdoodle.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

Definitely the chocolate chip. I can never make them because I just stuff them all in my face same day.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

McVitie's milk chocolate digestive. Excellent for dunking.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

Iced oatmeal cookies. Homemade, of course.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

That *I* make: Pumpkin chocolate chip. I do also love making biscotti, especially for my best friend, who's as big a fiend for them as I am, but the pumpkin chocolate chip are admittedly easier, and a seasonal crowd-pleaser.

Made by someone I know: I mean look, ANY cookie someone makes me is a good cookie, but my aunt makes these dark chocolate cookies with an Andes mint pressed down into the top, she only does them at the holidays and she doesn't do them every year, but they are irresistible to me.

Storebought: Trader Joe's Cat Cookies For People. I've had to change my cookie buying habits radically to avoid anything that uses the same equipment that anything peanut is made with, so a lot of my old favorite cookies are out, but if no one else has me I know Trader Joe's Cat Cookies For People got me.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

I am curious enough about pumpkin chocolate chip to ask for a recipe.

Now as for the question proper... hm. For various reasons I really shouldn't make cookies very often, but I think I'd probably best enjoy cowboy cookies/oatmeal chocolate chip.

Storebought? TJ's Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies... which they may not be making any more? I hope that's not the case (though it'd be better for my health).

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you, it's hard to beat the a good ol' chocolate chip cookie.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[philstar22]

Same, classic chocolate chip. Sometimes I equally love a version that also has nuts in it, sometimes I just want the original.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[volkameria]

White chocolate macadamia nut cookies, with snickerdoodle coming in at a close second.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

Made these long before the matcha hype but adding some matcha to the classic white chocolate macadamia cookies is divine.
I also found using freeze dried raspberry/strawberry and white chocolate to be super delicious.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

a hybrid that is oatmeal shortbread that my MIL makes at Christmas ... binge worthy

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

Cannot go wrong with a classic chocolate chip. I think it's my favorite, too.

I make a lemon shortbread that's pretty good.

Re: What is your favorite cookie?

[(Anonymous)]

My favorite is chocolate chip cookies too. Classic and yummy! As much as I like the gooey chocolate chip cookies that seem to be popular lately, I prefer one that is a little more on the traditional side. Crisp crust that gives a nice crunch but soft center that gives a nice chew, and you can hold it in one hand without it being too messy.

I also love Snickerdoodle cookies...and Oreos. I don't eat Oreos very much anymore but when I crave for them, dunking them into milk hits the spot so well 🤤
