On the Hunt for Gluten-Free Holiday Cookies
Two pastry chefs, Emily Luchetti and Kelly Fields, suggest alternatives that don’t require wheat flour.
"There are plenty of other naturally gluten-free cookies to try this holiday season at cooking.nytimes.com. Once you’ve made the haystacks and the chocolate chip meringues, try Melissa Clark’s Chocolate Caramel Macarons, Mark Bittman’s Coconut-Nut Macaroons, Joan Nathan’s Almond Walnut Thumbprints and Almond Lemon Macarons or Kim Severson’s Chewy Chocolate Snowcaps.
I am fighting Fructose.
I will bake cookies to order.
Sooner is better. As soon as you can is best.

VW Argued for Easing New E.U. Tests on Emissions
New tests, meant to more closely reflect real-world driving conditions, are to take effect in 2017. But they face opposition in the European Parliament." Volkswagen successfully lobbied to remove two key parts of Europe’s forthcoming auto emissions tests, an internal email shows, including a provision to measure the significant pollution released when an engine is started but hasn’t yet warmed up.
The automaker also argued against requiring special, high-speed tests for cars designed to be driven fast. Volkswagen,
which owns the Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi brands, is a leading
producer of fast cars. “Such topics must be deleted,” a Volkswagen
executive wrote in an email last year to the European Commission, the European Union’s executive branch, referring to the two provisions."
A bureau money can buy.
