I've tried the wonderful refrigerator cookie recipes you gave me. The rolls
were kind of going wonky when chilling because the dough was soft and going
sort of flat. Well, not 'sort of'. Really, really flat.
I searched my cookbooks and found the solution.
You take a tube from the inside of a paper towel roll and place your
wrapped/rolled cookie dough in it to chill and the dough will be mostly
round instead of flat on one side.
Reasonable idea but there was not one single almost empty paper towel
roll in the house. Not one.
Bright idea! I went to the bin where I keep gift wrap and stole a
cardboard tube from a nearly finished bit of Happy Birthday wrap. Cut it in
useful lengths and slipped the wrapped rolls of cookie dough inside. Viola
Voila
This works fine unless you have a pup who thinks that empty cardboard
tubes are for Happy Hour. I had to go get one more, do the mourning moose
call and toss it for him to destroy. Priceless. Polly

Mourning moose... never heard that before. But my 2 pooches sure come
running if they hear me replacing the paper towels! (I have to unscrew a
knob from the top of my countertop vertical holder.)
I've never done the call -- will have to try it next time!

Oh my goodness, yes. Empty paper towel tubes (and others) make just
wonderful music for QI amusement. Not unlike a junior high kid learning the
tuba. You'll sound like an old Viking movie with a few deep 'ah-ROooooos'
and the pups are quite entertained + the tube is okay for tossing and
shredding. Polly

This brings some Scientific Terms into question.
See I always thought that the Official Technical Term for the
cardboard roll inside of a TP or paper towel roll was "Der-Der".
Because you take them and rubberband waxed paper over the end and
march around the house going der der der into the open end. As a side
note this is best done in the company of a five year old who has their
own der der.
However if you are going ah-ROooooo into the end of your der-der, the
possibility of regional variances in technical terms arises. Which
would mean it is not an Official Technical Term, but rather an
Informal Technical Term. It also means we might put together a
positively scary Official RCTQ Der-Der Band.
So what do they call der-ders in Mississippi?
