7. In a pot, combine the water and butter, bringing it to a boil. Add the flour and ½ cup of the crushed cookie mixture, stirring until the dough comes together in a ball. Remove from heat.
8. Add in the eggs one a time, stirring until the dough becomes a paste. Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a large round tip.
9. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe 1-inch mounds. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry has risen considerably and the insides are dry.
10. Transfer the chilled pastry cream into a piping bag with a small tip. Poke a hole in the center of the bottom of each cream puff and fill each puff with the pastry cream.
11. Microwave the remaining cookie cream for 30 seconds, stirring until smooth.
12. Dip the top of each filled cream puff into the cookie cream, dripping off any excess.
13. Sprinkle any remaining cookies crumbs on top of each cream puff.
1. Preheat the oven to 375F/190C and place rack in center of oven.
2. In a small bowl whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt.
4. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips. Add the cream mixture and stir just until the dough comes together (add more cream and/or flour as necessary).
5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead a few times. Shape the dough into a 7-inch round and cut into eight wedges. Place them on the baking sheet.
6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until they are firm around the edges but a bit soft in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center of a scone will come out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
7. Drizzle with glaze (optional).
1. Blend together raspberries, powdered sugar and lemon juice until you have a smooth puree.
2. Strain the puree into a large mixing bowl. Discard the seeds.
3. Add the heavy cream and cream cheese. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
4. In a small mixing bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. Stir in the magenta food gel and pour into a small sealable plastic bag.
5. Lay out your mini cupcake liners on a wire rack. Take your plastic bag of magenta colored chocolate and snip one edge. Drizzle the chocolate over the mini cupcake liners, design to your preference. Set aside while you prepare the dark chocolate.
6. In a small mixing bowl, melt the dark chocolate. Pour a spoonful of dark chocolate into the mini cupcake liner. Rotate the cupcake liner so the dark chocolate coats everything, flip over so excess chocolate drips out. Repeat with remaining cupcake liners.
7. Set chocolate. Once hardened, peel off the cupcake liner. Fill each chocolate cup with the raspberry cream. Top with a fresh raspberry and garnish with some mint leaves.
2. Prepare and bake chocolate cake according to package instructions.
3. Let cool 10 minutes before poking even holes throughout the cake with a chopstick or the end of a wooden spoon.
4. Distribute condensed milk over the entire cake, making sure it runs in the holes, followed by can of caramel.
5. Slather on cream, making sure to smooth it out on top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
6. Slice cake into even rectangles and sprinkle chopped pretzels on top.
7. Serve with a drizzle of caramel topping.
2. Butter two Soufflé ramekins and sprinkle with cocoa powder, knocking out excess.
3. In a medium bowl, mix Nutella and 2 egg yolks.
4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk 2 egg whites until foam starts to form. Add sugar and continue mixing until they hold stiff peaks.
5. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the Nutella mixture until fully incorporated. Add the remaining whites to the mixture and fold gently, but thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
6. Pour the mixture in the ramekins, clean the rims so the Soufflé rises evenly, and bake for 15 - 17 minutes.
We enjoy corn in many different forms. In this episode, Martha first demonstrates Corn Fritters, a sweet and savory treat topped with honey. Next she shows how to make Corn Stock, which can serve as the base for a tasty Summer Corn Chowder — Martha’s version uses potatoes and cream. And finally, a childhood favorite all grown-up: homemade Creamed Corn.
Martha uses a spoon to scrape the corn pulp to make creamed corn. It is an essential part of the traditional creamed corn.
Try Martha Stewart's corn fritters recipe from the "Corn" episode of Martha Stewart's Cooking School.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and cayenne. Add milk and egg to flour mixture and stir together to create a batter. Add corn and fold to combine.
Heat 4 inches oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees. Working in batches, using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, drop batter by the tablespoon into the oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through and deep-golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; adjust heat as needed to keep oil temperature between 350 and 360 degrees. Transfer fritters to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Season to taste with salt, and serve immediately with honey.

The controversy swirling around the nomination of James Robertson has focused needed public attention on judicial appointments in Connecticut.
Governor Rowland 's friend and lawyer. That's how he ended up being nominated for a judgeship.
Robertson also had the bad fortune of having his nomination scrutinized at the same time Rowland is the focus of a federal corruption investigation and a legislative inquiry that could lead to his impeachment and removal from office.
A number of legislators, Republicans and Democrats , say Rowland is to blame for Robertson's troubles, that at any other time Robertson would easily be confirmed as a judge.
But that argument simply confirms what's wrong with an old-boy network that doesn't serve Connecticut well.
Besides, the record shows Robertson is responsible for his own problems.
Robertson is being considered for confirmation as a judge, but he has shown a distressing lack of attention to conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts of interest.
He has been less than candid with legislators, even when they have asked the right questions, until the information became public through other sources.
His Waterbury law firm, Carmody & Torrance, has made $5 million working for the state since Rowland became governor in 1995.
Over Rowland's years as governor, Robertson gave him free legal services - worth at least $125,000.
A draft ruling issued by the state Ethics Commission last week says public officials can't accept gifts of free services, such as Robertson gave Rowland.
This is not news. The draft ruling simply reiterates past positions - as well as common sense.
Remarkably, Robertson defends giving the governor free legal services.
As Robertson has fought to save his nomination, he has received help from lobbyists hired by the Connecticut Judges Association.
In addition, two officers of the association, including Judge Douglas Mintz , the administrative judge at Danbury Superior Court , have been lobbying legislators to confirm Robertson.
It is offensive to see judges involved in such political activity. It is offensive to see them dismiss the obvious ethical baggage that Robertson would bring into the courtroom.
The Senate may finally vote on Robertson's nomination Wednesday, after many delays.
He should not be confirmed. Legislators should have high standards for those who seek to be judges.
Does the Nation Need One Definition for English-Language Learners?
This week, during a panel that I moderated for the release of Quality Counts 2009, Kris Gutierrez, a professor of social research methodology at the University of California at Los Angeles, said the nation should have a common definition for English-language learners. Ms. Gutierrez, by the way, is a member of the working group for education of President-elect Barack Obama's transition team, though as a panelist she was articulating only her own personal views, not those of the transition team.
She proposed this seemingly simple—but actually not so simple—idea in answer to a question of how the No Child Left Behind Act should be changed to better address the needs of English-language learners.
I say that the idea is "not so simple" because right now, just as states set their own goals for what is considered to be adequate yearly progress for students, they also create their own definitions for what is an ELL and what kind of achievement on state English-language-proficiency tests or regular academic state tests signifies that a student is no longer an ELL. And in many states, school districts have discretion to determine when a student is no longer an ELL.
It's hard for me to picture states agreeing on a common definition or trusting the U.S. Congress to come up with a workable common definition. But at the same time 19 states are already using the same English-language-proficiency standards and test that were produced by the World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment, or WIDA, consortium. So that's 19 states that are using some common tools for the education of ELLs, even although those individual states use various cut-off scores to recommend that a student is no longer an ELL.
Readers, I'd like to hear from you what the implications would be for the nation to have a common definition for ELLs. Can you picture it happening, and would it be a benefit to the field?
Finding a common definition for English proficiency for all ELL students in all fifty states would be difficult. While all ELL's are learning the same language, they do not all share the same native tongue. Learning English from a Spanish point of view would be different than from a Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian or Arabic point of view. These are just a few languages that use different writing styles and symbols as well as sentence orders. Comprehension tends to preceed writing ability, and understanding spoken words is different than being able to read a language. Individualized programs are needed to address individual group needs nd proficiency tests cannot be standardized for all ELL's.
Look at how having the federal government in education has hurt education. I'd be afraid about the politics. There is also a problem with parents of the children affected not being included in the process. They usually can't vote and have no voice that really influences politics in education. TESOL certified teachers are few and spotty so even they have limited influence. Maybe it could help but I fear it would not, just as NCLB has not done well with education. Besides, in our Constitution, education is the domain of the states.
As Congress struggles to find common ground on deficit reduction, we must ultimately face the debate on how to significantly reduce defense spending.
We cannot escape the reality that huge defense expenditures are a major cause of our growing deficit. There are two fundamental reasons why significant defense budget reduction does not enter into the debate.
The first is the climate of fear which makes it so politically dangerous to advocate for lower defense spending, that few in public office will do so. Decorated Vietnam veteran Max Cleland lost his Senate seat in 2002, in part because he was portrayed as not sufficiently hawkish in the post-9/11 world.
There are some exceptions, but almost everyone in national political life shuns the inconvenient truth. We cannot maintain current defense spending levels without significantly raising taxes.
The second, and more frightening reason military spending isn’t questioned, is the degree to which the defense industry sits at the heart of our economy. The deck is stacked politically.
Elected officials are expected to come out fighting whenever their share of the military pork becomes endangered.
Consider when Georgia’s slice of the military spending pie was threatened in recent years.
Whether it was keeping the line open at Lockheed in Marietta by dreaming up new ways to deploy C-130 cargo craft, or finding a new mission for Warner Robbins when the B-1 bomber wing departed or keeping the HQ base at Fort McPherson open for a few more years, there’s nothing like threatened military cutbacks to bring politicians of all stripes out fighting to retain these assets.
The defense industry spends hundreds of millions every year lobbying Congress. They also insure the pain of any cutbacks are felt by as many Americans as possible. A defense employee once told me that it was a stated objective of his company to insure that their supply chain touched every one of the 435 congressional districts.
Defense contracts provide many well-paying jobs. But if tax money is to be used in creating jobs, why these jobs, instead of investing in our own infrastructure? Our defense allocation goes far beyond what this country needs to protect our people. We are hooked on this government subsidy, and need to break the habit.
We’re buying hardware and ordinance that hopefully are never deployed, and if they are, become our own weapons of mass destruction, driving debt and carnage to frightening levels.
Service rivalries and redundant weapons systems inflate defense spending far beyond what is necessary to protect us. The CIA and independent sources say we spend between 4 and 5 percent of GDP on our military. Total investment goes beyond that if you include intelligence agencies, the war on drugs, sales to our allies and military foreign aid.
However, nothing illustrates the super-sizing of our defense spending like comparing amounts spent. Data provided by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, shows the U.S. spent $687 billion on its military in 2010, six times higher than China, and 13 times Russia’s amount. Our expenditures dwarf the rest of the world, especially our potential adversaries. “Axis of evil” countries Iran and North Korea together spend less than 2 percent of what we do.
The stalemate in the super-committee may result in across-the-board cuts to the military. Whether that happens or not, Americans need to start challenging the long-established taboo against questioning defense spending. It’s sucking us dry and cannot be sustained.

Five quick points from Lander (5-2, 1-1) put the Bearcats in front, but CSU quickly took the lead back and never trailed the rest of the way. The Lady Cougars closed the quarter on an 8-2 run, getting six points from Williams.
The second quarter was the biggest difference in the game as the Lady Cougars opened on a 19-2 run. Over the seven-minute stretch, CSU limited the Bearcats to 1-of-13 shooting and four turnovers. The run allowed Columbus State to take a 42-23 lead into the locker room at halftime.
CSU’s work wasn’t done however, as Lander charged out of the second half with a 17-5 spurt that brought the Bearcats within seven. Jarvis took over from there, scoring 10 of the next 12 CSU points over a three-minute span to help weather the storm and give the Lady Cougars a 15-point edge after three.
Lander got as close as 11 in the fourth, but Columbus State held on for the victory.
CSU shot 41.9 percent (26-for-62) from the field in the game and pulled down 50 rebounds.
The Lady Cougar defense held Lander to 28.2 percent shooting and 4-for-20 from the 3-point line.
Columbus State will now have two weeks off during final exams before returning to action on Dec. 17 at UNC Pembroke.
