A Culinary Dork

in Because I Like To Ramble

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! A place where we can share things that we did not do with people that we do not know!

Or something like that.

First, it was not me who actually had to write out twelve times seven on a piece of paper to figure up how many cookies I needed for the cookie exchange tonight. Because anyone with any sense whatsoever would know their multiplication facts without having to figurem’ up.

Whatever. I stink at math.

Next, it wasn’t me who called my mama and daddy to ask if indeed I could substitute Country Crock for ‘butter’ in my second batch of cookies because I figured up the wrong amount of sticks of butter and only had enough for the first batch.

Seriously, the whole ‘stick of butter measuring thing’ is goofy anyway!

It also wasn’t me who dumped three packets of instant oatmeal into the second batch of cookies after realizing that I HAD RUN OUT OF OATS FOR HEAVENS SAKE because who runs out of oats in the middle of a cookie-fest?

Obviously someone who is not so great at math.

I wasn’t the one shaking her head in disbelief when the second batch of cookies came out of the oven looking very different from the first batch. Especially seeing as though they pretty much taste the same. 

I’ll never know if its the Country Crock butter’s fault of the instant oatmeal’s fault. Dang. It’s no wonder I don’t spend much time in the kitchen!

And finally, it’s not me who secretly hopes she wins the cookie crown even though she is a culinary dork because who doesn’t like to win?

I’m off to clean my kitchen.

Which is something that I can do because it does not require math.

Enjoy your Monday, y’all!

And head over to MckMama’s place for other Not Me! Monday posts.

Hi Julie…
I won’t LOL, I will just :) ~ you are too funny!
I could actually picture myself calling my mom and asing about the butter. I for one cannot read a ruler and forget a measuring cup, especially when it calls for 3/4 cup and there is no marking (or some other measurement).
I hope you do win because at the very least, you tried!
Ps: this time when I commented, I actually spelled my blog name correctly!
