Bookswap Q&A
Hey Clare, looking forward to the bookswap?
Yes, hugely!
I understand you're in charge of food.
Yep, just went to Tesco, got bread, stuff to put in/on bread, some strawberries and other things. Oh, and I just made "snickerdoodles".
I think people know what snickerdoodles are, you don't have to quote it.
That's not why I quoted it.
Ah. Did they go wrong?
Very wrong.
Are you still going to take them to the bookswap?
Yep.
Do you expect people to eat them?
God no.
And you're taking them because?
I feel bad that other bookswaps had awesome food and lots of homemade stuff, and I went to Tesco, and am too incompetent to make snickerdoodles. So I'm taking them to prove that I tried. And you know the worst thing?
I ASK THE QUESTIONS HERE.
Sorry.
What is the worst thing about it?
I still had to wash up the utensils I used to make the world's worst cookies. Normally at least you get a warm glow of satisfaction to temper the annoyance at having to clean.
Sorry.
Yeah.

Also, bah to still having to wash up when there is not lovely food to compensate. There ought to be some kind of government support scheme for that so you don't have to.

It'z true that they weren't the world's best, but I'm not sure that they were the world's worst, either...
I do hear you on the washing up, though: I've frequently fumed my way through cleaning burnt-on food - not only have I messed up the food, but I've made the washing up harder, too...
