thinkin' about it thursday.

don't you hate it when........... 

you've been cooking all morning and you have one more thing to put together, but all your regular sized mixing bowls are in the dishwasher.  so, you're faced with the decision to use a too small bowl or a too large bowl.  {because it's too much work to get the normal one out of the dishwasher and spend all that time hand washing it.}  well, you choose the too small one - again, to save time - because you can squeeze it in the dishwasher {and then you won't have to look at it dirty in your sink until tomorrow when you unload the dishes.}  

so, you're blending your base (yellow cake mix, butter and an egg) on low speed in a too small bowl and cake mix base is flinging all over you.........the counter.........the floor.........and now the baby - because he had to crawl up on the stool to see what the noise was when you turned on the blender.   but, you push on.  you can't get the too big bowl now, you already got the too small one dirty.  and it's still too much work to get the normal one out of the dishwasher to hand wash.  you ignore the crumblies you're stepping on with your bare feet, swat the marshmallows out of the babies hands {because it is only 9:30 am} stop blending, and start pressing in the bottom of the pan.  it seems a bit too crumbly {probably because you didn't mix it well enough} but you throw it in the oven anyway.  

you turn around from putting it in the oven and you have a huge mess to clean up.  you start with the baby {because of the multiplying marshmallows in his hands} and go to the counter and then the floor.  *bonus* the bowl squeezes {barely} into the dishwasher!  yay!  the timer goes off and sure enough, looks too crumbly.  you cover with marshmallows and finish, but start praying that rebecca is bringing brownie bites and ashley is bringing white chocolate cranberry cookies so no one will want to eat the salted peanut chews............

i hate it when that happens!  hehehe

i always seem to have the perfect recipe for making easy things hard!  lol.  at least it gives me somethin' to blog about!  :)
