Woo Hoo! Julep and Dibbs are back in the house!
So, Mr. Twinks is taking the Florida bar exam, which translates to less family time and more study time. To distract Twinklette from distracting him, I thought it would be a good idea for us to make some cookies. I returned to MIL's delicious chocolate chip/white chocolate chip cookie recipe--the one that never quite seems to work out.
They're delish when she makes them. When I attempt them, not so much...but I'm always up for another opportunity to tweak the recipe because I know one of these times I'll get it right (no thanks to her).
Today was that day, my friends. That evil b*tch told me to use 1 egg instead of 2. Can you believe that? That is not the kind of mistake that an accomplished baker like MIL makes by accident. I mean--there is a big difference in baking between 1 egg and 2. Everyone who's ever baked anything knows that the measurements have to be exact and you can't just add or omit an egg and get the same results. How pathologically b*tchy is that?
Of course, Mr. Twinkle thinks the mistake is legit, so our progress takes a step back. He has obviously never baked.
I just had to share.
WOW. That is some SERIOUS passive-aggression. You are completely right, one egg versus two is simply not a mistake that an accomplished baker would ever make ... particularly as to a recipe that she makes ALL THE TIME. She was totally setting you up for failure!
