There is a news a...Erma Bombeck has nothing on you! There is a news article that was published in the late 60s-early 70s that was in my mom's recipe box. Every time I cooked at home I would read this funny article...I think it was about making chocolate chip cookies with a two year old. I don't know if it was Erma Bombeck, but it was hysterical! I think someone gave it to my mom when I was two! Rings true today as then! <BR/>It is totally a frustration to go through this, but it is over all too soon. I wish I had framed my "coffee table" art when it happened. That time is long gone for me...so cherish it!<BR/>Enjoy the day!<BR/>Erin, TesoriTrovatiTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-7556520357389367302008-12-20T15:51:00.000-06:002008-12-20T15:51:00.000-06:00Hilarious!!!

I do, however, find that cooking sometimes takes FOREVER, as does everything else when I'm taking care of kids. That's how it goes! :) Sometimes I get dinner on the table when The Engineer gets home; sometimes not. Sometimes it's hot...sometimes not. And the salad is almost always from a bag with a few croutons thrown on top. :)<BR/><BR/>Special K--Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Becki--Aww, THANKS! :)<BR/><BR/>Call Me Cate--Burnt=done? Works for me!<BR/><BR/>Annje--"Carmelized"? That is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!<BR/><BR/>Vikki--I checked it out and even bookmarked a recipe to try.
