Very, very early this morning, at approximately 12:30am, I opened up the oven and pulled out what might be a contender in this year's Bake-off. I stood there and admired them for awhile and decided I needed to really know how good they were right there and then. I scooped one up and ran upstairs.
I tip-toed into our dark bedroom and whispered, "Honey. Honey."
Nothing.
I knee'd the side of the mattress, rocking it back and forth, "Honey!" And then I poked him in the arm for good measure.
"What?!"
"Taste this."
"What?"
"Taste this."
"What? What time is it?"
"I have no idea and I'm running out of it. Taste this."
I handed him The Gooey Chocolatey Masterpiece and waited for his response.
"Do we get any of these?"
"What?"
"We better get some of these."
"You're getting them right now!"
"I mean more. These are good. How many do we get to keep?"
"I have no idea. Are they good?"
"Wow. Yeah. They're awesome."
"Yay!"
"How many extras are there going to be?"
"I have no idea! Ok, go back to sleep."
"We better get to keep some. I hope you made a lot of them. Those are the kind of things I'll eat till I'm sick."
"Okay, okay, okay. Now, go to sleep!"
"I was asleep!! You go to sleep!!"
"Better be nice if you want more!"
lol.
Poor Skimmer. I hope you left him some.

You free-style baked goods? No recipe? A taste that's new, no one but Skimmer's tasted before, and even he must wonder if it was a dream.

I love the smell of toast. I call it "BG's entry" smell.

That was like some kind of CIA cookie waterboarding. "I'm only going to ask you one more time, CAN YOU TASTE THE MARSHMELLOWS!"

Ok- I have to go all BP on Brando... marshmellows? Are those stoned confections? :)
BG!! You're BAKING! And you're happy about it... not all preachy like some.
Also... everyone's stuff is getting to our place lickety-split so I wouldn't worry about shipping.

I am a typo machine today. It's like my whole sense of spelling has been throne off.

Oh my god. If my husband woke me up to have me taste a cookie, we'd have a domestic violence situation on our hands.

I rwote a rude joke about Res being woken up by anatomy but I decided to not make it.
