Highly narrowly defeats biscuits!

[highlyeccentric]

Cooking is supposed to be fun, right?

Well, what's fun without:

*getting biscuit mix from here to kingdom come?
*getting to the final step of a recipe which began with "cream butter and sugar", and only realising that your mixture is too dry when it sets like a rock in the piping tube?
*ringing your mother for advice, and having a long meandering conversation with her answering machine during which you realise you'd only used half the required amount of butter, back at step one?
*figuring out ways to remedy this?
*figuring out how to use the piping tube, during the process of which several biscuits end up looking like caterpillars, cowpats, and various other things aside from neat fat finger-width biscuits?
*Many of those which acheive the appropriate length and bredth ending up with odd, upward-tilting phallic protuberances at the end until you figure out how to finish off neatly?
*dropping a bowl of biscuit batter, catching it one-handed while the other hand swings the piping tube around and gets batter all up the side of the bench?
*eating nearly as much of the mix as goes into the oven, and then feeling queasy?

All that remains of the phallic protuberances.

now we wait for dad to come home with the chocolate to coat them :)

I am so hungry right now :(
Perhaps I should make my own biscuits? Or maybe muffins. Hmmm...

But YAY! You defeated the evil Biscuit Bastards! :D
