amusement

sometimes, it's the small things that create the most amusement.  the week before christmas, people at work were bringing treats into the office to share...just something to help put people in a good mood before the holidays.  being the kind and conscientious person i am, i took a batch of chocolate chip cookies...and a box of clementines.  because as much as everyone likes cookies, sometimes you also need to put a healthy alternative in front of them.  at any rate, both the oranges and the cookies disappeared in approximately the same amount of time.  considering how clementines are fairly tasty, maybe this isn't all that surprising.  but i also had a couple people ask me for my cookie recipe.

this amused me for two reasons.  first, it means that after six years, people at work are finally realizing that i do in fact know how to cook.  for the longest time, people always expressed astonishment whenever i brought in leftovers that were clearly homemade.  second, their expressions when hearing this particular recipe was priceless:


i told them that preparation was simple; that pillsbury makes these special, ready-to-bake cookies.  et voila!
