A day in a life of a housewife.
So I finally got down to baking yup. I wanted to bake butter cookies, just because I simply LOVE butter cookies. It was cool lah, making the cookie dough and all. UNTIL I found food colouring! I got excited and starting putting red colouring into one batch of dough. So the cookies in that batch turned out nice and brown with pink swirls.So my Einstein (or lack of) mind decided to experiment and be "creative" with the colours. I mixed the red with blue, in the hope i'll get nice pastel purple cookies. For SOME incomprehensible reason at that moment, purple biscuits seemed aesthetically pleasing to me.
That, my friends was the BIGGEST mistake I'd made in my entire life. Because the cookie dough turned into a really weird purplish colour with streaks of red and blue, like blood vessels. It looked like a huge bruise on Barney. So I had NO choice. I didn't want to put more colouring because I was afraid I'd make mutant cookies and they'd start tasting like some internal organ. No choice la, cut cut cut the dough and shove them into the oven.
This was how they turned out.
(you cant see the pink swirls)
And...
DONT laughhh!
Ah sigh. Lesson learnt. Next time dont mess with food colouring. Just use red. So anyway, there was a new tin of Hershey's cocoa powder in the cabinet sooooooo, i ended up making brownies as well!
YEY! The cookies tastes great, btw. Just have to shut your eyes when you eat it.
As of now, I just finished folding one huge stack of laundry, while watching the rerun of idol on starworld. I swept the floor, made lunch, settled my huge stack of lecture notes, hung the comforter and now i'm blogging.
Anyone wanna marry me?
