Random Ramblings

I've decided I would love to have my own cooking show. Not because I think I am a fabulous chef or anything like that, I just would love to make things, make a big mess, and have someone else clean it up. How nice would that be. I mean, do you ever see the host of the cooking shows you watch washing their pots and pans afterwards. I haven't. Cleaning up isn't all that bad, I'm actually pretty alright with cleaning up as long as I made something good, otherwise it really wasn't worth the mess that was created.

So, where is all this coming from you might ask. Well, I'm starting to get into the whole housewife thing. I definitely did not wake up at 0600 hours this morning to cook eggs and bacon for my husband before he went off to work, but I got got up three hours later and baked him banana nut and chocolate chip muffins. That's gotta count for something. Jason seemed to like the chocolate chip at least because he has already had two. Though I must say, they aren't really chocolate chip because when I added the water to Betty Crocker's pre-made muffin mix, I wasn't thinking and I added hot water because I had just washed my hands recently. The hot water melted most of the chocolate chips, so now it is more of a chocolate muffin, but it was pretty tasty, and I don't even like chocolate muffins, or chocolate chip for that matter. Now that I'm home from church, I decided to bake cookies by myself for the first time in my life. I've always had someone help me with any baking in the past, I'm really not much of a baker. But I got really excited about baking cookies, especially when I realized I would get to use my awesome KitchenAid mixer that my aunt Mary Ann and cousin Lindsay got for us. It worked just as amazingly as I would expect by the way. But I had no memory of how much of a mess you make when mixing cookie dough. I did spill some sugar, but that isn't what I mean. I have like two mixing bowls to wash, a beater, a spatula, and when the cookies are done, three cookie sheets. That doesn't even all fit in the sink. This is what the second person is really for. If only my husband were home to dry and put stuff away as I get it washed. Probably not a good idea to wait until he gets off work to have him help though, stuff would get pretty stuck on by then. I better go get started.
