I won't get into the boring details of where I have been for the past 23098423094 months. Apparently I need to work on my consistency. Or something.
Here is what has been going on in my world!
A Valentine's themed story. I have a Bible study that meets weekly. Each week we potluck enough food to feed all the families. It is good times for all. I don't plan the meals I just sign up for stuff. And don't tell anyone, but sometimes I just sign up for stuff that is easy for this lil' housewife. If is a choice between making some sort of fabulous dish and buying that same "fabulous" dish at the store, guess which one I choose? But every once in a while the wonderful woman who creates all the menus likes to spice it up and theme our dinners. Last week was Valentine's Day themed. Themed dinners do one of two things for me. 1) I have some extra time on my hands and therefore get excited to start planning for and making something theme wonderful! or 2) I get totally stressed out and it is all I think about and I can't stop until I figure something amazing out and I fall flat on my face. Last week was that for me. In my brilliance, I decided that if I could buy a heart-shaped cookie cutter I could fake my adorable housewifeyness by making cheese quesadillas and have them be heart-shaped! Yay LOVE!
Problem #1. Heart-Shaped Cookie Cutter.
I don't know why it was ridiculously impossible for me to find a heart-shaped cookie cutter one week before Valentine's Day. My whole plan was riding on this ONE thing. But after searching at two or three different stores, including Target of all places, I had to compromise with one of those weird plastic containers where the two pieces fit together, thinking it would have to be the next best thing. After next Tuesday, all of the retailers will have an evil laugh as they bring everything heart-shaped out of hiding, including that stupid cookie cutter, and try and mask their evilness with a half off sale sign. Jerks.
Problem #2. Size.
So, I bought these giant tortillas and a whole bunch of cheese. My thought was that the medium sizeish weird plasticy kind of heart-shaped cookie cutter I bought could easily get 3-4 fun heart-shaped quesadillas out of each of the tortillas. This idea was "no bueno" once I attempted my first one. I quickly learned that I could only really get approximately 1.75 heart-shaped quesadillas out of the deal. Also, I was left with a lot of weird shaped extra quesadillas bits. What to do? I know! I know! I will just cut them myself! *Insert emoticon of freaked out little dude with straight lips.* Worst Idea Ever. Aftermath:
And if you not convinced of my heart-shaped FAIL here is a nice side-by-side comparison of what a heart should look like and what my hearts looked like:
So in conclusion-Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Don't have nightmares about my creepy Tim Burton movie inspired hearts. People ate them I swear.
Side Note- I have discovered and started stealing craft ideas from Pinterest. Pinterest is my new obesession. I don't go on the site unless i have at least 2 hours to kill.
