Nikki's Cookie Adventure
SO I thought to myself, "I'm heading down to Toronto... IMMA MAKE COOKIES FOR PEOPLE." Gingerbread being the obvious choice, since it rocks, I looked up a simple recipe and checked ingredients... good and good. Off we go!
Now, as some of you know, cooking, baking, frying, and me... don't get along. I'm frightened of ovens and frying things, and... yeah.
ANYWAY. I figured I'd give it a try.
So I start, everything's going well... sift in dry ingredients, wtfe... and then DD: MISHAP NUMBAH ONE.
I added the sugar into the dry ingredients instead of with the margerine DDD: So I scoop (most of) it out, into the proper bowl.. think, okay, there's still some left, but they mix eventually anyway... should be ok. ;_;
So fluffed the marg and remaining sugar, didn't have QUITE enough margerin, so mixed in a little bit of olive oil, as internets recommended.
Now, the olive oil has, for as long as I can remember, been kept in a cute tall glass bottle, in a certain corner of the cupboard, under the counter. So I grabbed it without really looking, dashed a little into the mix: DDDDDDDDDDDDDD: HORROR OF HORRORS.
IT WAS RED VINAGRETTE.
Which happens to be kept in a cute, tall glass bottle, which someone had placed exactly where the olive oil always is. FUCK.
So I run it to the sink, drain out the liquid from the mix, since it stayed on the top... and there goes the unbeaten eggwhite. SHIT. BUT, most of the vinagrette is gone, so theres a plus. (It still smelled like vinagrette, though I mostly think that was a few remaining particles saying FUCK YOU NIKKI, WE WANT TO SEE YOU CRY. CRY!!) So I looked up ways to replace eggwhite, fixed the problem. Still smelly, BUT IT'S OK.
From then on it was mostly fine, mixed in the dry ingredients and.. well it was pretty dry, but a dash of water fixed that. WIN.
Baked it, (and now it smelled fine, having added the ginger and cloves and such) brought it out, and tried one.
FUCKING DELICIOUS. 8D
Lesson; even if you fuck up royally, you can always fix it (and make the outcome tastey) :D
