Hot Stuff


Well that didn't take long. I've my first thing to post about. I just really burnt my fingers. Stupid cupcakes!!! Here's the story: tonight is one of several potlucks at Pageant. Last week I bailed out 'cause I wanted to be home with Kaisara. For this week's potluck Kaisara's going to go to work with me (it's all about the food isn't it Kaisara?). Since I'm gonna be eating at the potluck, thought I should take something. What's a good use of 5 lbs. of butter we received as a gift from the inlaws visiting from New Zeland. Yes, 5 lbs. of butter as a gift. Let's not forget the package of sausages that came with it. (other cultures are so cool!). Anyway, looking for a use of 5 lbs. of butter I decided to attempt yellow cupcakes from scratch. As I was putting the second pan of cupcakes in the oven, "oh look, the 1st pan needs to be shifted. Let's grab it with our unprotected right thumb & index finger. yeah, that's a great idea!" HELLO! Have you any idea hot bad that hurts? I hate it when I do stupid things. Ever tried typing without using your index finger & thumb?
