Which TOTALLY makes me a cotton-headed ninnymuggins...

From this....





to this...





Which is what you have to do when you discover miniscule glass bits on the countertop, while cleaning up...

AFTER you've baked, dipped, and packaged up 5 dozen cake balls to give as gifts to neighbors.

I have no idea which batch was being made when I dropped the bowl. And we didn't discover all the bits of glass until after everything was finished, and we were throwing away empty chocolate chip bags, and parchment paper.

Bonus? All of the vanilla cake balls had a sprinkling of red and clear sugar crystals on them to differentiate them from the devil's food ones. And those sugar crystals? Virtually indistinguishable from glass. Until, that is, you take a bite.


And I don't dislike any of my neighbors *that* much. ;) (kidding!)



So I had no choice. They all had to be thrown out.



And now? Well, I really hope the neighbors like Oreos.

Well...I *am* close enough to be considered a neighbor, No? hee hee!

No. I don't care for shards o' glass in my goodies, and hopefully you would care enough to not do that to me...hoping!

p.s. I like Oreos too. But I'm only joking. Happy Holidays!!!
