Wherein a Pinterest fail gets Grandma giggling
I mentioned briefly yesterday that I often feel younger than I am. An incident one night last week confirmed I still have some maturing to do.
See, I searched Pinterest — the sure bet when it comes to brilliant ideas — for ways to create snacks from yogurt. I found a super simple one wherein you drop yogurt on wax paper, freeze it, and you have snacks similar to Dippin' Dots.
My first attempt — using a cookie press fitted with a disc I thought would make the drops look nice — came out looking like this:
I did the entire pan and turned to put them in the freezer then realized just what the darn things looked like. I started giggling... and giggling and giggling.
I showed Jim the pan, and he giggled, too.
I texted the picture above to some fellow bloggers, and they giggled, too. Same went for my daughters when I texted them. (Yeah, I'm that immature.)
I quickly changed the cookie press disc and created other yogurt drops that turned out beautifully. Giggle fest over.
Until I pulled the frozen first attempt out of the freezer the next morning. I giggled all by myself for quite some time over the perky pinkness of it all.
At least I know that if my writing career fails, I can always turn to creating and selling treats for bachelor parties. (Unless I mature in the meantime.)
Today's fill-in-the-blank:
My worst — or funniest — Pinterest fail was _____________.
