God keeps trying to keep me humble

Yesterday, I made some pretty dramatic statements about how I created the world's greatest sweet plate or something like that.

Last night, I need to make some fresh cookies for a gift and I decided to try a new recipe.

The cookies were supposed to look like this (emphasis on supposed to):

Yummy, right?

Here's my first batch:

Because nothing says, "Merry Christmas and may the joy of Jesus reside in your heart all year long" like a giant blob of congealed cookie.

But I was optimistic. After all, I had recently DIPPED CHERRIES IN CHOCOLATE! and CREATED BEAUTIFUL SUGAR COOKIES! and MADE NON-GRITTY FUDGE!

Here's the second batch:

Oh good, a slightly smaller blob of congealed cookie.

Fear not, people. Old Katie who screws up everything baked and sweet is still alive and kickin'.

In other news, Joe has been keeping a huge secret from me. HUGE secret. It's called Urban Dictionary's Word of the Day. I found this little gem in his Google reader yesterday:

Tiger's wife mad
Def: the act of being so angry at someone that you find the item
they cherish most and beat them with it

Chris was so tiger's wife mad at Joe that he grabbed
Joe's Wii remote and beat him with it.

You're welcome.

Well, actually, if they weren't one big blob, they would look exactly like the picture! So really, it's not *total* failure!

Love, love, love Urban Dictionary's WOTD. It is hilarious! Poor Tiger. I heard that they just decided to give him a fresh start and retire the name "Tiger" all together. His new name is going to be "Cheetah".

Get yourself some Silpats. Seriously.

And I agree with Micah. They do look like the picture, only it's just one cookie. But, hey, I don't have a problem with that! I'll give you my address if you wanna mail me a ginormous cookie! :)

They look yummy to me! You could try and cut them with a round cookie cutter so then they look like they came out perfect---it might work....

Okay, for the rest of the day, I will be using the phrase "Tiger's wife mad" incorrectly...just so I can use it. ;)
