Have you ever had days where your intentions are great but everything goes wrong? I had one of those today…
Perry’s special day has arrvied!
Garlic chicken, broccoli and penni pasta bake with alfredo sauce was on the menu because Perry loves it. Typically, we all eat one piece of birthday cake and throw away the rest, so instead of buying cake, I figured brownies with ‘Bunny Tracks’ ice-cream would be a win. Slap a candle in that sucker and I’ll be good to go me thinks. I set the timer with Alexa and got busy doing other things.
The timer didn’t go off. Next thing I knew, the smell of burnt chocolate permeated everything in the entire barndo. With an hour to go before he got here from work, I grabbed a box brownie mix and threw it together in a flash. It finished baking just in time… BUT… was still too hot for a candle.
I know because it promptly melted into the gooey dessert. ARG!
I scooped out the wax leaving a hole that I quickly cut through before anyone noticed, and it all turned out ok despite the rough time I had. Dharma photobombed his birthday picture because she was afraid she’d miss her chance at any celebratory food accidentally dropped.
Happy, happy birthday, Perry! Next year, we’ll celebrate double nickels. 😉
