I was complaining about my ugly chocolate chip cookies. So quiltnut pointed me to this blog.
cakewrecks.blogspot.com . Hilariously funny photos of professional cakes gone bad.
Make sure you look at the older posts for the one titled "The First Censored Cake Wreck."

Brilliant!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I just made a batch of those "neiman marcus" cookies. The recipe makes 114 cookes! I didn't realize how long it was going to take me to bake 114 cookies. I should've done the math. 12 cookies at a time...10 minutes each batch (I only baked one batch at a time). TWO long hours of baking cookies. Now I remember why I don't like baking cookies. It's too much of a commitment. With a cake - you just whip it up and throw it in the oven for a good 30 minutes. You're not really tied to the oven every ten minutes. Cakes are better, anyway.

I was baking cookies so that my husband and boys would have some when they went on a trip (without me) to the mountains this week. I hope they enjoy them. The peanut butter cookies were much better than the chocolate chip. Every time I make chocolate chip cookies, they turn out flat...not very pretty. They taste OK but they don't look like they're supposed to. Any suggestions?

Pizza at midnight...

I was out late last night at a jewelry party. The boys wanted pizza anyway. So I brought home THREE pizzas at about eleven. We had a late-night dinner. It was festive. I love to spoil my boys. They deserve it!
