I really tried to let bygones be bygones. Just totally let go of yesterday. Forgive those bullying Cake Bites and give them another chance.After all, it's a new day. The sun is shining. And I just happen to know where they sell Chocolate. Yeah, it wasn't really the Cake Bites that were the enemy. It was that mean old Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate. That's who had it out for me yesterday!I'm sorry Cake Bites. Let's just pretend that our little chocolate miss-adventure never happened yesterday!I went to the store and got Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels. How could anyone go wrong with Hershey's. Hershey's loves everyone. Hershey's will do anything you ask! Hooray, all my cake bite worries are over. or not!My neighbor, Patti (who could make bricks with peat moss taste good) tells me that you shouldn't keep chocolate warming too long. It can get a little clumpy. Oh, great - NOW she tells me . . . . after the first 1/2 zillion cake bites turn out almost pretty good and the second 1/2 zillion look much, much more than a little clumpy.And don't you DARE even ask me about why I didn't fancy them up with a beautiful little drizzle of chocolate as a finishing touch!By the time I was finished I was ready to do my finishing touch with the heavy end of a meat mallet!
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.I really had to give the subject some thought this week. Not because I don't have any Not Me's .. .. .. .. but because I may not have very many that I want to actually publish! Okay, here goes.**Dub washed and waxed our SUV the other day. He did a beautiful job, as always .. .. .. when he asked me to come out and check to make sure I approved, I DID NOT immediately walk over, take the hem of my t-shirt and polish a little spot on the front fender - while saying, "WE did a great job, don't ya think!" Hey, I was baking a cake at the time and had the batter on my shirt to prove it! (Never mind that the batter got there when I was licking the bowl.) Anyway, polishing 2 square inches was HARD work!**I did not take a three hour nap yesterday and then go to bed at 10pm! No, JB & Karen, I'm not sick - just really, really tired from polishing that fender, I guess!**Since it was so beautiful and sunny out this afternoon, I refrained from going out and spraying down everything in the yard with Miracle Grow without checking what the weatherman had planned. It DID NOT pour down rain shortly after I finished!**Oh - and just before I did my Miracle Grow fiasco, I had NOT hung a bunch of doggie and sugar glider blankets out on the line to dry in the fresh breeze. And I did NOT have to bring them all inside and run them through the dryer anyway, dammit!That's enough! I'll leave the comments open for you - Would love to see some comments on what you didn't do!
