"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Working-with-your-hands Wednesday
Ma Paco used to make these two at a time, because she knew that once I started eating on one, I just kept going.
Well, here's the thing. Ma Paco would buy a big bag of Kraft caramel cubes - which I'm sure you know are some of the tastiest things in the world - with the intention of melting them down to make icing. Unfortunately, being somewhat careless and deficient in situational awareness, she would leave the bag out where I could find it. Then I'd open the bag, just to eat a couple, and, before you know it, I would sometimes eat half the bag of caramel cubes, leaving an inadequate number for making icing - at which point I would catch enough hell to leave it alone next time. She knew better than to ask me to help with the icing, except maybe to lick the spatula when she was finished.
mmmmmm ..... BUTTER!
ReplyDeleteDid you help Ma Paco stir the frosting? Or was it too tempting for you?

DeleteThat sounds ... ... plausible!
