| The odd thing is, I have an oven and have been baking non-stop this year. But then I remembered this non-bake cookie, and have become addicted. For those of you with no oven, but with acces to a burner and a fridge, this is the cookie for you! |

Sure, since you asked so nicely 
Warning - they definitely aren't health conscious. If you're on a diet, avoid at all costs. These are a cookie's cookie, meant for serious cookie consumers.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening (butter flavoured - would probably work with butter too)
1/2 cup milk
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup flaked coconut
3 cups rolled oats (or use 31/2 cups oats and no coconut if you don't like coconut or can't find it)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
In a deep pan over medium heat, combine shortening, sugar and milk. Bring to a boil (roughly 2 minutes), and continue to boil for one more minute. Remove from the heat and mix in the cocoa until smooth. Stir in the coconut and oatmeal until mixed thoroughly. Drop by a teaspoonful onto wax paper lined cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator to set. Store at room temperature in a sealed container, or keep sealed in fridge.
Voila. Again, not healthy, but super tasty! |

Wow I was an Army chef too! That was a real chore of a job, heh? I will say so. 70 to 100 hour work weeks was the norm.
Oh, yea! Those choco no bake cookies rock! I used to make those often as a kid after a teacher showed me this in like 3rd grade. We had cooking class or home-ec. We used to also make them with those crunchy Asian noodle like things (none here that I know of) and call them birds nests. I forget what the the dry crunchy noodle looking things were called, but they were supposedly an Asian food style thing.
The only problem I have is finding powdered unsweetened cocoa as I haven't really seen that here. I was thinking about this a few months ago, when it came to making a good snack without an oven. Now, how can I do baked foods in a skillet without frying it? Well, if I had a special double boiler like pan system where you got a pan inside a pan both with lids with the middle one elevated off the bottom of the outer pan, then it would be possible to the point a bread, lasagna, or cake could be baked on a gas range. In fact, this technique is how people baked on fires for thousands of years. No such modern product for sale I know of, just a brilliant idea to have an oven without actually having an damned oven.
I make granola bars with Quacker oatmeal bought in Seoul, almonds from a 5 day street market, and American Honey from downtown Daegu hidden black markets. (pricey, but isn't everything here) I chop the almonds, set them aside, cook the honey and cinnamon brought over on the plane on simmer for 5 minutes, then mix oats and almonds into it until it becomes a real chunky consistency, and then press it into a big bowl. Great quick breakfast or snack to have this ready in the fridge. I am looking for some good raisins, but don't see them around. |

Next time you are in Seoul, you can find cocoa no problem. I got a big tub of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa at the foreign food mart in Itaewon. I've seen it at the red door as well, and I'd assume they have it at Hannam market also.
If you are in Seoul sometime soon, and would like directions, pm me and I'll be glad to point you in the direction of some cocoa! |

Yeah, I hated the job because I thought it would be a doss and it wasn't. We were trained well at the army school of catering at St Omer barracks in Aldershot to cook all kinds of fancy fare such as beef wellington and
coq au vin, but you know what most soldiers are like, they like pizza, chips and egg banjos the bunch of thick degenerates.
I used to hate serving at the hotplate, some scrawny pimply youth would be in front of you and your ladle.
'Wots that chef?' he would say pointing his dirty finger at my creation.
'it is beef stroganoff'
' 'as it got garlic in it?'
'A bit'
'Well I'm not 'aving it, I'll stink won't I? it looks shyt, why can none of you sloppos cook?'
'Can you spell 'beef stroganoff' you moron'
'Huh'
'Go on grunt, move yourself'
'eff off, I'm outta 'ere, food is shyt, I'm ordering a pizza etc' |
