That's what they say when their surprise turns out disastrous.
Boyfriend X: Hey honey, I bought you some flowers from the Dollar Store, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?!
Disgruntled Girlfriend Z: Yeah. .

Girlfriend XX: Babe, I know that I'm not a great coook, but I thought I'd make dinner tonight. I know it tastes bad, but you know it's the thought, right?!
Polite Boyfriend ZZ: *chokes down rubbery mass that is ostensibly mashed potatoes* Uh. Yeah.

Heh. I actually am quite handy when it comes to baking so long as I have a recipe... I'm only concerned this time because I don't have an electric mixer. Maybe they'll have them cheap at Wal-Mart.
Love you always, SnC

Hmm. Depending on how much mixing needs to be done, you can make do with a whisk (not that I recommend it, especially if you have to cream butter and sugar >.>) Have fun with it
I'm actually about to make a chocolate cake for my mom's birthday tomorrow. And yes, I still lick the bowl when through.

Random but I had twin boys this summer. They are awesome although of course we are super busy. I realize most of you won't remember me anyway but wanted to drop in for those who do. They are sweetie pies.
EUCC, of course I remember you! Congratulations on your twins! That makes three kids in total, right? I can definitely see how that would keep you guys running! Enjoy your time with your sweet little ones.
I was wishing that I got to sleep in tomorrow, but thinking about twins makes me more thankful for the sleep that I do get, which is uninterrupted, even if it rarely lasts as far into the day as I would prefer.

Thanks Catspaw - yes we have 3 with us and 3 waiting in Heaven...I put a pic up in the photo thread
Sleep is pretty non-existent around here. I think my littler guy had a growth spurt last night - nursed 6 x.

Well, I actually got a whisk without seeing your post. The egg whites weren't stiff as they should've been, so the cake wasn't as sponge-like as it should've been, and the cream icing didn't work, so I had to use store bought... meh. Not to mention my oven setting thing doesn't have a dial on it so I have to guesstimate; I think it was too hot. Thankfully it smelled a bit weird and the Holy Ghost was like "GO CHECK IT", so it was only ever-so-slightly overcooked.
I did use peanut butter and a zip-lock to write on it.... and GUESS WHAT. He said it was better than his aunt's Tres Leches. BOOM.
Love you always, SnC

GOOD FOR YOU.
I always guesstimate when I'm cooking. I use few measuring cups and spoons, normally set the dial on 4 or 5 (the manual has the corresponding temperature degrees, but I can never find it, SO) and then forget to set the timer. Somehow, it almost always turns out okay.
Don't tell his aunt that he likes yours better, though

Cooking and baking are two different things. Guesstimating is fine with cooking, but if you're not precise with baking it can ruin things. I've had this recipe before when someone else made it and it turned out different.
I need to learn how to cook, though. Recipes are good and all, but I've yet to master throwing things together and making it taste good.

It's more of an innate thing to be able to throw things around and add a bit of this and a touch of that and still have it come out good. At least, in my opinion it is That's why they invented Walmart for the other sorts of people.

So, there's this girl at my job and I completely forgot her name after meeting her. She, however, remembers my name and uses every time we cross paths. I never use hers, because I secretly can't. So, I got onto Facebook tonight and searched "Cashiers who live nearby and work at Meijer". She was the sixth person listed. I love technology.

Life is a little less stressful than last time I posted but it is sure to pick up again with finals not too far away. Still on the school note although I will have 8 AP tests come May, I only have to worry about two now. Although, those two - AP BIO and Chem - happen to be some of the harder ones. On a better note I have at least 5 college classes done and with the impending good scores on the AP Bio and Chem tests I will have 7.
Thanksgiving Break has been really nice, my sister came home from college and none of my family has to work. We didn't have anyone over but it was nice to spend time with the immediate family. (We are watching Gifted Hands tonight)
Also, this winter I decided to play intramural basketball. I have always liked playing with my friends, so we made a team and decided to play intramural. This is the first time I have played any sort of sport that has a ref but it should be fun.

Headed to Michigan tomorrow to visit relatives! Must be sure to set aside some time for stalking AE.
I'm glad to see that one of the twins has her priorities straight
