you stomped mickey!

Soo if you haven't noticed, the BF and I tend to cook a lot of food. We're always trying new recipes and fiddling with old ones. Now, obviously we all know that I'm not the best baker, but I have to say that when we cook dinner... it's always good (if it's not, well, that's the recipe's fault - not ours)!

The other night we made stuffed peppers like we've done so many times before. But this time was different... we messed up! We, yes I said WE, forgot to put tin foil over them before putting them in the oven. What does that mean, you ask??... It means they were burnt to a crisp! I know I said if the food isn't good it's the recipe's fault, but this time I guess I have to fully take the blame... or I could say that the recipe was too far away for me to read, so it's still the recipe's fault - I think I'm gunna go with that! Anyway.. we still ate the stuffed peppers, but once we were finished with dinner we noticed Molly staring down something black on the kitchen floor. The BF walked over to see what it was - it was a burnt piece of stuffed pepper shaped like Micky Mouse! I didn't even get to take a picture of it because next thing we knew....

Molly stomped Mickey! I wanted to yell at her, but with those puppy eyes.. I just couldn't - it's not like she really did anything bad, right? I love her, but what a little turd!

a stroll down memory lane: cookie disaster

I stumbled on Sundresses & Smiles the other night when I was reminded of a pretty embarrassing baking experience of mine. Mind you, I was pretty young.. I don't remember exactly how old, but I was probably around 14... ish.

I'm telling you now that I am a cookie addict - I LOVE COOKIES! For real, I'm a cookie monster. So one night I decided to bake some sugar cookies. Apparently I wasn't quite feeling chocolate chip that night which is actually pretty surprising since I have a serious chocolate addiction too, but anyway... I made sure I had all the ingredients and got the cookie sheet out. Once I was sure I had everything, I mixed all the ingredients together. Everything was going smoothly so far, then I started placing the cookie balls on the baking sheet one inch apart like I had read on the package. Once they were placed, I put them in the oven to begin baking....

DING! The timer went off and it was time to take the cookies out. I ran over to the oven, opened it, and what did I see? 12 cookies?? NO!..... ONE GIANT COOKIE!!

I was wondering what the heck went wrong! Well, I finally realized later on that I read the package wrong - I was supposed to make 24 small cookies on two baking sheets not 12 big cookies on 1 sheet... Well, at least I thought it would make 12, but NO - just one giant cookie! Just a massive baking fail!
