please bring honor to us all!

A landmark, benchmark, and milestone: I translate my first Greek bathroom joke. Why are these things funnier in Greek?

Also, I decide to get creative in the kitchen...

Me: Lessee. I made these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies over vacation... I think they had about so much flour... oops, don’t have any whole wheat flour, will have to use white... let’s try same amount of oatmeal, which if I reduce the recipe by about a third... mmm, some applesauce and honey... let’s try some salt this time... and vanilla... I feel like I’m missing something... aha, baking soda! Let’s try this much, stir like so...

Generations of Gould and Bader Cooks: What DO they teach them at these schools?

Me: You know the only thing that could possibly make this even better? Frozen raspberries! I’ll just pour some in... lalala...

Generations of Gould and Bader Cooks: All right, whose fatal loins can we blame for this one?

Me: Well, give me a haircut and call me Mulan! My ancestors are arguing over whose fault I am. Well, you know what else I happen to have lying around? Mini muffin tins!

Generations of Gould and Bader Cooks: *facepalm*

For the record: the mini muffin tin monsters actually turned out better, probably because the mixture was sticky to begin with, and the melting frozen raspberries made it mushier. Ha!

They were pretty tasty. Definitely better with wheat flour and some crunchy... er, whatever that crunchy grain stuff my mom found was, though.
