Just call me Betty. Betty Crocker.

Ehm! Attention!
I, Mrs-All-I-Know-How-to-make-is-Microwave-Popcorn, has done the unthinkable. Braved new ground. Unmasked a new hidden talent.
I have made two things in the same day, without failure.
Drum roll please.
The first dish I made was
POT ROAST!


Ahhhhhhh, I can't believe I made this and it turned out no less. Most people know it's not very difficult to make pot roast, but usually when recipe's are explained to me and there is a 'and then all's you have to do is' I get eye glazed and start tasting copper so for me to do this, well Bravo to me. It was even good to eat. I even ate some WITHOUT dousing it in a gallon of ketchup. I EVEN got a huge thumbs up from husband and super kid, without asking thank you very much.


K, the second thing I made yesterday was a nail biter indeed. It is a made from scratch recipe handed down about 4 generations on husbands side (no pressure).
2nd drum roll please.


Cinnamon rolls. Yes, cinnamon rolls from scratch. Meaning I made the dough. From scratch. Yes, me. I did it. Again, most people know that these things are easy peasy to make, but I did it. I undercooked one batch by a little bit but I hear that is the trickiest part.
So, anytime you want me to whip up a batch at your next party function, you just let me know, I will with a smile on my face.


Bravo to me!
I took some pictures of my own in the process, I'll post them some other time.

  • Everyone I know has a sense of humor, but you.
  • Yes, I am talking about you.
  • Yes, you.
  • You, sitting there, reading this.
  • Wow, I had no idea that you were so gullible that you are still wondering if I'm talking about you.
  • No worries, I am.
  • Everyone knows it too.
  • Don't believe me? Just ask 3 people you know if they classify you as a person with a sense of humor. Bet they hesitate, avoid eye contact, and say 'Ummmm...sorta?'
  • Now that you believe me, you must quickly move on to something else or try and say something witty to a co-worker or friend to try and prove me wrong.
  • I bet it won't work though, because you can't say funny witty things without a sense of humor.
  • And that's you, a no-sense-of-humor-and-now-slightly-irritated-by-this-blog-posting-somebody.
