I am clearly a super awesome boss....

Tonight 1/5 of my team needed to come in and work overtime. Sadly 1/5 is only 2 guys. I have this theory that when you have to work overtime you should not only get paid time and a half, but you need to get some treats too! Usually I am super lazy and pop over to hyvee and pick up some cookies. Tonight I was awesome and baked some cupcakes!

Silent Sunday

Finally breaking out the Pampered Chef...

Today I decided to bake some cookies with my Pampered Chef gear. I liked the Med Scoop a lot, super easy made nice uniform shape every time.

I also used my medium bar pan for the first time. I was not as impressed- I knew going in that it would not be big enough to bake many cookies- I managed to get about 6 on. It said that the stoneware would take a little longer to bake things that had 10 or less minute baking times. Maybe I just haven't gotten the hang of it yet but I quickly switched to my regular cookie sheet.

I also used my mixer for the second time- it isn't pretty but it got the job done! Strangely enough it's ugliness matches the rest my my dated appliances- so I guess thanks dad for thinking of my ugly kitchen when you gave me this.

Updates...

So I have had an interesting day already. This morning was I just getting ready to start the dishes, yes- I am awesome and have been cleaning them on a regular basis, then: knock, knock, knock... Two employees of the store underneath my apartment- Radio Shack, they say there is water dripping into their store. Naturally I have the incriminating sound of running water in the background, but I promise them it isn't coming from my place. They leave and call the landlord- I heard a lot of movement next door so I assume they found the leak in the apartment next door. The story is I stopped doing the dishes, and I promised myself I wouldn't make any more food until I did the dishes so finally tonight I finished them. I also started a baking project- I have some visitors for the weekend, so they should get excited!
