Does this recipe use the dark corn syrup? I don't use corn syrup enough to know which is the 'default'.

Also, what kind of bourbon does everyone like to use?

@markeeam: Nilla Wafers is the actual name. They are made by Nabisco.... just a vanilla cookie... with many uses!

This has been so fun to read through!

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the magazine rack in the bathroom; usually filled with tattered men's magazines. Ick.

Other things that irk me....

-cat boxes in the bathroom. Yes, I know it's difficult to find a solution, but the strewn litter alternative is enough for you to try, right?

-one word orders on walls or chunks of wood. "Dream". "Believe". "Laugh". Yes, ma'am.

-trophy kitchen stoves in the homes of proud non-cooks who tout their resale value. Yes, I'm bitter. Unused KitchenAid mixers as dusty decor. Mom, are you listening?

-candles that are decorative, never to be lit. Again, Mom?

-Mauve. Especially when paired with blue.

-overly cluttery 'collections', especially dolls. To me, it's creepy and useless. Ooh, yes, and countrified animals/rodents wearing clothing in any capacity. Just not my thing.

-people who specialize in building kitchens, and then don't bother to put in enough outlets, or to consider how someone would work in that space. Grrr! This one has to be the most frustrating! The others may be pet peeves (personal halfway-rational annoyances), but this is a true dislike! Someone got paid to do that job!
