Cooking instruction summary:

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.In a large bowl, beat together butter and powdered sugar until well combined. Add vanilla and mix until vanilla is incorporated.Add flour mixture two butter mixture in two additions, mixing until just combined after each addition.Split dough in half, and set aside half the dough. Leave the other half of the dough in your mixing bowl, and add cocoa powder. Mix in the cocoa powder until evenly distributed. You may have to change from the mixer blade to using your hands to finish kneading in the cocoa powder.Roll out the "vanilla" (not chocolate) dough between two pieces of waxed paper into a 10" square. {My dough was more of a rectangle that was about -inch thick.} Repeat with chocolate dough, making sure it's the same size as the vanilla dough.Remove the top sheet of waxed paper from the chocolate and vanilla dough. Brush the top of the chocolate dough with some egg white. Turn the vanilla dough over, so the uncovered side of the dough is touching the egg white side of the chocolate dough. Gently press to adhere the dough together. Remove the remaining pieces of waxed paper.Cut the dough into four equal strips (long ways if you've made a rectangle). Brush the top of one strip with egg white. Place another dough strip on top of the one you just prepped, chocolate dough and vanilla dough touching (to create alternating stripes), and press gently to adhere. Brush the top of the strip stack you just made with egg white and top with another dough strip, chocolate and vanilla touching, then press gently. Repeat with last dough strip.Wrap the dough "log" in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with Sil-Pat or parchment paper.Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and unwrap. Cut the dough log into thirds, and each third into 12 slices. {I cut each third in half and then in half again and then each of those halves into thirds to make sure I'd get 3 dozen cookies (see diagram). You can cut the log into -inch slices it you don't need and exact number.} Lay the slices striped side up on the prepared baking sheet.Bake for 10 minutes, or until edges are golden. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes on the pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with a big glass of milk!

Food Joke

Many of us have been there. Something just doesn't click with the new boss. Or maybe we're just horribly incompetent, or miserably incapable of performing up to standard. Whatever the reason, sometimes in our lives, we've got to calculate the odds of being canned. Take this quiz and find out you chances of survival in the job world. 1. The boss appears at your cubicle and finds you playing DOOM at your desk. You... A: swear to take the game off your hard drive forever, but first make a copy for his kid. B) inform him that you're planting a virus in the program so that everyone who plays it on company time will get reported to Human Resources. C) Tell him that whatever he wants will have to wait until you've finished the level. 2. There's a cush job opening in the mail department, stuffing envelopes with free samples. It pays twice as much as your current position. What do you do? A: Meekly suggest to your boss that transferring you might improve the morale of everyone who's been working with you. B) Politely ask your boss for a transfer and offer to split the salary increase 50/50 with him. C) Barge into your boss's office and demand reassignment so that you, "Won't have to work under someone who should have retired before he became a laughing-stock." 3. When your boss throws a party and invites everyone in the office except you, what do you do? A: Stay home and watch 'I Love Lucy' reruns. B) Show up at the party anyway, with a really expensive bottle of wine and a briefcase full of small, unmarked bills. C) Go over to your boss's house after everyone has left and throw rocks at the windows, shouting obscenities. 4. Your boss criticizes your work unjustly; what do you do? A: Listen politely, and then apologize. B) Blame someone else. C) Climb on top of your desk, and hold up a piece of paper on which you've written the word "union." 5. When the CEO parks his car in your spot, you... A: Wash and wax it, then leave your business card under the windshield wiper. B) Key it ... then tell the CEO's secretary you saw your boss near it, loitering suspiciously. C) Key it ... then proudly tell the CEO's secretary that you did it. 6. Your boss asks you to play Kooky the Clown for his kid's fifth birthday party, what do you do? A: Offer to pay for the costume rental and cake, too. B) Agree to do it, then blackmail a co-workers into doing it while pretending to be you. C) Agree to do it, then show up as yourself and tell the children that Kooky is dead. 7. Your boss' gorgeous daughter comes on to you. How do you react? A: Tell her that you feel it would be unethical for you to date the boss's daughter, but that you would be honored to pay for her to go to the movie by herself. B) Slip her a mickey, then marry her before she sobers up. C) Tell her you would love to go out with her, because you like cheap women, but you prefer them to be at least slightly attractive. 8. The boss accuses you of not keeping the office clean. You... A: clean the office while he supervises. B) tell him that you delegated the job, then fire the underling you supposedly gave the job to. C) clean the office again, but this time, you use your boss' face. -- SCORING -- Mostly A's: You have nothing to worry about. They'll never fire you because you're a doormat. Mostly B's: You're not just going to keep your job, with your complete disregard for other peoples feelings, you'll positively shoot up the ladder of success. Congratulations! You're a real jerk. Mostly C's: You are a career kamikaze. The boss would have fired you long ago, but he's terrified of what you might do.
