What do you dock your crackers with? The recipe I've been using says to
use a fork but that's just not cutting it. The holes at the bottom of the
cracker are either closing or nearly closing, probably because the tines of
my fork narrow down at the end. So I ordered this tool:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We'll see. This particular recipe is just 3 cups flour of your choice (I
used All Purpose), 1 cup water, 2 teaspoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and 4
Tablespoons olive oil. Recipe says to roll 1/8" thick. I did not do this
since I hate to roll and cut. If I were serving these to guests I would
take the time to do that. Instead, I patted out into circles. I don't
think that matters since I have seen other crackers online made by various
people that look just like what I made. They're not the prettiest but
they'll do just fine for me.

Only problem is that they didn't get as crisp as I'd like, probably because
they didn't dock properly.

Could have gotten an old crappy restaurant fork and filed the points
off the tines... for as often as you plan to bake crackers use a
plastic disposable fork.

I doubt that will work well with crackers, it'll make very random
patterns. I would have made a block of wood the size of a cracker,
drilled holes in a desired pattern, pushed in appropiately sized
stainless steel nails and glued them in with a piece of wood as a
backing cover and handle... there you go, a professional cracker
docking tool. I would have made mine with a spring loaded stripper
plate so it ejected the cracker off the nails. The nail diameter
should be a bit oversize to accomodate the holes closing during
baking... and file/grind the points off.
You can easily find SS nails.
http://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Har...vZc2dxZ1z0yg27
Drill holes in the wood slightly smaller than the diameter of the
nails... if you attempt to hammer the nails in you will certainly
split the wood.
Now stand by for the "Julie Bove Lame Dog & Pony Show" featuring
numerous and convoluted lame excuses why she CAN'T.

I thought she said she ordered a docking tool. If I did what you're
suggesting, I'd not only need to buy the dowel and more nails than
I'll need for the rest of my life, I'd need to buy the drill, drill
bits and vice + plus a place to install the vice. Why spend all that
time and money to make a tool you can buy for a few $? Not worth it.

Hey, sf, do you have any idea how much it would cost to dock your
behemouth ass... and how many months it would take?

I am not fond of nails after stepping on one! I am also not good with
tools such as saws. You would think they would make such a device for
crackers made at home! I wasn't sure if the tool I ordered would work or
not. I have seen people poking individual holes with a piece of spaghetti
or a skewer but that seems like it would take a long time. The fork holes
were kind of random too. Just apparently not big enough. Some of the
crackers were crisp but others were a little chewy, especially in the
middle. I'll still eat them but I would prefer better quality control.

I would have to do that also. I did own a Yankee push drill some years ago
but as is the case with most all tools I have bought, they seem to go the
way of the wind. Was usually a combination of my dad and husband going off
to do some task and I either never got the tools back or I would eventually
find them outside somewhere, rusty. Husband did buy a drill some years ago
but I have no clue where it is.

I think she should take a plaster cast of it and send it to you. You could
then have it bronzed. You'd like that. Wouldn't you?

It's projectile vomit chick. Since 1998. Really. I know that blows what little scrap of mind you have left, but it's projectile vomit chick. You really aren't very good at this, are you?

No. I am not good at sleuthing. I'd rather be cooking.

One can easily make perforated note pads with a sewing machine without thread. I used to do it
Whenever I needed a note pad. I just stapled the top of the papers together, and then stitched it.

Are you serious, Nancy2? LOL!
You went to all that trouble to make a note pad? No you didn't. Come
on.
So cheap to buy one at any local store.

My thought was, it's just a notepad and you stapled it already - why
sew it too?

Wow - this indicates a new level of frugality. I hope you didn't waste electricity tho - or stitched it by hand?

Did you punch in a cute design? Was this for a personalized gift? Got photos?

hahaha Looks like it's now "let's pick on Nancy2" time here in RFC
for at least a few posts. We all get pounced on occasionally. This is
what happens when you venture into indian country.

Another way to make a note pad is to apply Elmer's glue to one edge of a stack of paper and let it dry. I've made thousands of these pads. It's fun!

No! You've never made thousands of those pads. Probably none. You
haven't even lived long enough to have used thousands of those pads.
hahah You have to buy the paper anyway. Just buy the premade pads of
paper.

Sewing and glueing paper together to make notepads? Give me a break!

This is a funny thread, imo.

Well alright... one break coming up! I worked in printshops and bindery areas of printshops. "Padding" was a part of the job. How many pads have you made? Zero? I guess that makes me an expert padder and you not.

Got photos? That's a real LOL.

I use the blank backs of junk mail... and most actually use very high
quality bond papers... I cut each page in halves or quarters and
staple like 50 sheets together. I also use the blank backs of junk
mail to print my crossword puzzles.

Well now you know more about me. I like everyone here including those
two. I know how to laugh at life unlike many here that have forgotten
offbeat humor. I'm in a worldwide group here. Many people and just as
many opinions. I read them all and accept their thoughts. I might not
agree but their opinions are just as valid as my own. And sometimes I
read a different opinion and I will change my own...if the argument
seems valid.

Sheldon speaks for response and he gets it. His constant boob and wide
ass thing is ho-hum to me. When he goes off on an extreme rant though,
I do chuckle. Way more funny than what Sheldon writes though is the
responses he gets from the offended. That's where I laugh. He's
trolling and he wins often.

Again, I say -

Read all opinions. Disagree and argue if you want but don't run away
and hide.

You cheapskate! You spend a fortune on your property and animals and
you do what you wrote above. I'll send you a few pads of paper for
christmas...how's that?
G.

Yes, I did. I had a lot of full size scratch paper, was a stay at home mom at the time, so had lots
of time on my hands. It was a good way to use up scratch paper that was blank on one side.

I'm in the process of scanning my records so I have a lot paper I need to get rid of. The OCD Chinese guy that's helping me wants to save that paper to use for scratch but the idea of leaking patient's names out there is a very scary one. Everything needs to go into the shredder. If I could, I'd rather burn it all. Nice paper though! :-)

Call a commercial document shredder. The truck rolls up to your house
or place of business and they do it while you watch. Everything is
diced vs old fashioned shredding. Hubby had something like 80 boxes
filled with sensitive information like name, address & social security
numbers that he destroyed using a commercial document shredding
service. It's inexpensive and I bet you'll be able to write it off as
a business expense.

That's an interesting idea. I see those trucks in downtown Honolulu, but not in our little town. I'm thinking of having my OCD friend do the job for $100 or so.

Oahu is not a large island, give them a call and see what they have to
say. You could always take it to them. UPS shreds as does Office Max
and more. If they do, I bet there's a commercial shredder near you!

Nothing to do with cheapness... I hate waste... and using that junk
mail paper is no more effort than stapling a stack for the
recyclables bin. If I put loose paper in the bin and it's a windy day
I can end up picking paper for miles and hours, that's why I bought
one of those commercial staplers what can staple 75 sheets. And I
have lots of very nice writing paper that I use for fountain pen
letter writing... I use wax seals too, I have a huge collection of wax
and seals. Unfortunately not many write anymore, these days it's all
keyboard... most people can only text/tweet, they can't write, I mean
they literally are unable to write. Schools will soon do away with
teaching penmanship... most kids nowadays can't even print, many can't
read either

I shred *after* I use junk mail paper. I have a shredder but mostly I
snip with scissors.

I'm ashamed to call a professional for my paltry paper-shredding needs.
If I had 80 boxes of docs, I'd gladly call one of these people. I also
want to give my friend some work cause I'm a nice guy.

Due to HIPPA regs, scissors just ain't gonna cut it. :-)
