But let's not forget about the other stuff too. The bitching and moaning. The other 6 days of the week where our homes are actually filled with stuff like dishes piled in the sink from baking, greasy bangs, dark circles under the eyes...ahem, me! You know, the not-so-photogenic-ups-and-downs-of-real-life. The stuff that makes us human and makes us real and that makes us just as much as who we are as the overwhelming desire for the perfectly angled picture of our thrifted finds.
Well, shit. This post got really heavy for me just wanting to show you this...
My failure. My learning experience. My 'those aren't supposed to doooooooooo that' Earl Grey shortbread cookies. Ouch. And they tasted terrible. Double ouch.
So now you that not all my cookies look like this or this or this.
Between this post and the one featuring my messy bed and my admittance to the out-of-control-kitty-hair in one of the above cookie posts, you now know a bit more about how I honestly live my life. I mean, I'm still going to try to post my successful ventures using the best photography that I can but now you know that there is always general chaos lurking right outside the frame...
Every single biscuit I ever ever ever make turn out like this. I gave up on baking in the end!
ReplyDeleteNice to know you're human though ha
chloexx
One question-did you still eat them? I totally would.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they weren't supposed to do that, but Earl Grey shortbread still sounds amazing and I want the recipe :D (and I totally would still have eaten them, too!)
ReplyDeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually working on a post all about my real life VS blog life lol
Oh man, most things I bake turn out that way. One time a recipe called for one cup of brown sugar and I used half a package for some reason. They were awful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you're not totally a superwoman, it makes me feel better about my failures of baking, hahaha. That's what a majority of my cookies look like =D
ReplyDeleteI hate when cookies do that. I always try and eat them anyway, but you can just tell when they come out of the oven like that that they should really go straight in the trash... Oh well. Thanks for reminding us that life is, well, life. Unpredictable and chaotic, kitty hairs and all. As a matter of fact, I would not really want a life without my cats leaving me little mementos of their love everywhere! ;o)
ReplyDeleteoh man, that looks like what happens when I bake! I'm glad you are not too super perfect.
ReplyDeleteEven though I am a total spaz in the kitchen, I have actually successfully made Earl Grey cookies and of course I had to share because success in the kitchen almost never happens for me.
