Tuesday November 16 2006 - I WISH

I have added a new oven to my wish list. Last night I was up late making the cookies for the exchange I'm in. I was coveting people who have convection ovens and can bake larger quantities at one time. I really need to pay closer attention when I sign up for things. I really just thought it was a get together, bring your favorite treats and then we'd leave with a plate of other peoples favorite cookies. Even after the phone call telling me to make 10 dozen cookies, it still didn't click. Suddenly, I thought about what 10 dozen cookies would be and realized that I don't even WANT 10 dozen cookies and have no where to store that much without a freezer still (except I guess my tummy over time!).

It's the same way with shopping, I just buy what I'm looking for only to get home and discover that I actually bought "low fat sour cream" (or salad dressings) instead of the regular. I've made this mistake far more than I would like to admit. You'd think after doing it so often I'd be more alert and read the labels but no. Just in a rush, and think I know what I'm doing. On the bright side, after buying so many "low fat" condiments, I have allowed for the extra callories of eating 10 dozen cookies!!!! Not much else is new... oh, except that Brooklyn has a new obsession lately, and it's my eye lashes. She's obsessed with them. She'll sit there and try to grab them (usually poking me directly in my eye).
