I bet you didn't even NOTICE the gap of time I went missing to run over Mom's house for some more butter, didn't you?
Tonight I mixed the dough for the Chocolate Mint Cutout cookies, plus dough for Chocolate Chip cookies.
Unfortuntately, there was something stuck on the bottom of my oven that was smoking a lot, so I'll be baking both batches tomorrow night. I'll be using baking soda to clean the oven.

My mother's mother (MomMom) passed away back in November 2002. I started CookieCam to keep my mind busy that sad Christmas. When we went through her stuff, we found a treasure trove of goodies -- especially pot holders. Each of us (daughters and granddaughters) took a potholder. I chose the Christmas one, and have used it every Christmas since.
Tonight was no different. I was using it to pull out the oven rack while I was investigating the smoke issue. I saw flames reflected on the door of the oven. "Hm...where could the flames be coming from?" I pondered.
I am SO the suck. I really am. Mercifully, this episode happened in between cam shots.
I'm keeping the scorched pot holder. At least I used it.
Current score: Kim 0, Cookies 0, Oven 1
