So my freaky darlings what did you do this weekend? I cooked , finished two sets of wristers, made some progress on my Spin Me Right Round lapghan and had a small mental meltdown. I was due for one I guess.Yes my darlings it was over something not worthy. Just the stress of summer finally overflowed and came out in the form of anger and a fit. In other words the end result was me acting like a small child for a short while. I know you can relate. Sometimes we adult/mothers/parents just pack away stress and frustration a little too much and forget to release the pressure valve till Opps explosion.I am much better.... today. LOL! You think that maybe if I had gotten that kiss I would have been WAY better? * wicked evil grin *
So anywho here I sit. Posted three new dinner idea blogs so far and decided to write my update while I hear snoring from the bed. i also wanted to share my fail from this weekend. Besides my meltdown fail. * sticks tongue out * Soooooo
As most of you know we are the biggest no bake cookie fans.... and we are tight on budget still * thank you summer * and if there is not something in house that cures sweet teeth all heck breaks loose. Well I had everything in house to make these awesome little oat filled noms and was excited to not have to buy a sweet this week. So Saturday afternoon Dragon and I make up a double batch like we always do BUT something is not right. It is gooey. Like way gooey. Like what the heck am I to do to fix this gooey. So we read the receipt three times each, like it is an exam paper we have to make an "A" on.Hmmm no we did this...ya we put all that in there....ya we boiled it for so long. What in the world!!! UGH! Ok so get the jelly roll pans out and let's see if this works. We can just make em into bars. Fast Forward to today.... ohhh they are awesome when you scoop some up with a spoon but oh heck no did they set up. AHHH! So I decide to go with my dream... yes I come up with my best stuff when I am asleep.... COCONUT!! Dragon removes the gooey oats from one pan with a spatula and puts it into a bowl and I stir in the flakes. It worked some what....ohhh shoot I forgot to tell you that I am out of oats. HAHA that would help you understand the story more huh. Opps! So I spoon the now Mound-ish no bake cookies onto more wax paper to be placed into the fridge again. Yes of course I tried one..pshhh like I would have let my dream go untasted. They are good like the candy bar. *grin* So now I look to Dragon who is protecting the other pan of gooey oat mess with his life. "Hun ... what are you going to do... eat it like a dip?" He looks at me and answers ..."If I have to yes but you aren't ruining them with that coconut." He hates flaked coconut... only fresh for him. A light bulb goes off in my head just then and I turn to my youngest who has been watching this whole time.... In an excited tone I say, " Harli go see if Nana has some instant oatmeal in her lunch bag from school". I now have my fingers crossed. Harli returns with TWO original oatmeal packets. NANA to the rescue!!! I add them to the gooey mixture that dragon has repeated the spatula process on and I spoon cookies onto wax paper again. After the containers are placed in the fridge I sit back in my kitchen chair and sigh ...looking over towards the bakers rack where the kool aid containers sit....OH EM GEE!! What do I freaken see?? A brand freaken new container of OATS!! Well I guess we have some for next time now. UGH! Oh and I still have no idea why they refused to set up all the way. *shrugs* Or who put the Oat container with the kool aid containers. The cookies are still soft set and the fam don't care one bit that they are tasty little soft piles of oaty gooey cookie. LOL! Well my freaky darlings I better get my rump to bed. I have class and more crocheting to do for the Bazaar. Happy Monday to you all!
