baking injury...

I'm kind of on a cookie-making spree. I like doing it, because you take something totally disgusting-looking (cookie dough) and make it into a rather attractive piece of art that people can take home and look at and hang up on their wall. Or they can gobble it up, whatever their preferences.

Anyway, I was on Batch #27 this evening and got a little too close to the side of the oven, thus leaving a minor burn on my arm. It stings a bit, but now, I have this really impressive welt that people will look at and ask what happened, and I'll proudly proclaim as manly as I can, "Cookie-making injury."

My mom and I have also discovered that if we aplit a cookie, each taking a half, we can easily have 2 cookies a piece, but it always looks like we're having a half. Oh, shoot. Now my secret's out. Sorry, Mom! :-D
