I adore Ted Lasso Slade. That show takes me through all the feels, highs and lows. Ted personality along with his vulnerability really move me. I just watch the first episode of season four and itās so exciting!!
Funny thing was my 39 year old daughter told me numerous times to watch Ted Lasso and I kept saying no, Iām
Not into soccer. Lol. Once I watched it I couldnāt get enough of it and watched it again, straight through, seasons 1-3. I just finished watching it for the 4th time when I heard about season 4. Yaaaaa!!!!!
Iād love to make these but I canāt sugar due to my macular. Do you think coconut sugar might work? I know itās a texture thing. Thank for posting this. I did get it a few months ago off an Apple website.
Yes you can try the coconut sugar. Might need to add a bit more to the recipe to get the right sweetness. I look forward to hearing from you when you make them!
Same here .. When my husband (from a football, aka soccer to Americans, loving county) and I were looking for something to watch, I remembered hearing about Ted Lasso and turned it on.... Would watch it 100 times ..recommend to everyone!
Great post as always. Love Ted Lasso although he is a hero to most every Kansan and Kansas Citian.
I spent a good number of what should have been my retirement years working at Trader Joeās who encouraged you to be a āTed Lassoā every day. I believe it truly made me a better person.
Couple of suggestions. I have gone to using an instaread thermometer to test everything but especially baked goods. Charts are available online. They are cheap and reliable and should be in every drawer full of kitchen gadgets. Good stocking stuffers too. Weighing flour, especially for something as delicate as shortbread or at least giving the weight in grams is helpful. Keep up the great work. You , Kris and Dave, Heather Cox Richardson and Paul Krugman among others keep me grounded and smiling!
I will be making these (several batches for a crowd, so in a large box) for Legends, which is the beer hall for the Timbers Army and Rose City Riveters. Weāre the supporters groups for the Portland, Oregon Timbers and Thorns (menās and womenās pro soccer teams). In addition to supporting our teams, we do a lot of social activism from building soccer fields in public parks, advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights, collecting school supplies, fighting fascism, running food drives, & much moreāall 100% volunteers. I bartend at the beer hall and we always have potluck food and snacksāmy specialty is cookies. I know this will be a BIG hit! Thank you! (And thank you for your posts!)
Slade, this post is perfectāTed and the Diamond Dogs would include it when listing perfect things. Thanks for all you do and for clarifying the Whitman. I appreciate you. (And Iāll let you know who gets the biscuits.)
Thanks, Slade! My literature loving heart was made warm by your Whitman correction, and the shortbread recipe is perfect. (My sister makes a shortbread ābiscuitā recipe for her British husband thatās very similar, but she drizzles a dark chocolate glaze over it.)
Love this and love biscuits. Have been a shortbread fan for decades. Give the Salt Harvest TL biscuit recipe a try. May not be the official one, but it is my favorite, by far!! The almond flour gives it such a lovely consistency.
Iām a baker w a start up cookie company & I approve of this message š„°šŖ thank you Slade š
Woohoo! All the best to your cookie business!

I bought the bluray set so I can watch it whenever I want(or need) wholesome content
I donāt own a blue ray, but I might have to consider a dvd set once season 4 is over.

As always, your commentary is balanced, beautiful, and encouraging! Thanks for winding it in with my other favorite encourager, Ted Lasso!
Much appreciated.

Please do! And thank you.
Many boxes made and given to friends and neighbors. Some even made it to a Ted Lasso viewing party in Canada. So delicious and easy to share kindness.
Hi there. Big fan. Love that your life is giving back in spades to you what youāve given of yourself so freely. Great role model for many of us.
Quick question. Will GF 1:1 flour work?
Absolutely, yes. Same ratios. We've made it with good results.
Not without some adjustments.
Gluten free does not ābiscuitā well you need to add gums and/or other binders.
Thank you! I really love the vibe of Ted Lasso and I really love your content! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank You for sharing your message of Hope - Speaking Truth - and spreading genuine Joy!! āBELIEVEā!šššššļøšš
What happened to your watcher behind statement?
It comes and goes. Always good advice.
A new Mom at home with baby received a box!
