Two Odd Episodes in One Night

Last night, Jon heard something he thought he would never hear come out of my kitchen: "I have the ugliest balls!!"

Naturally, this peaked his curiosity, and he found me fussing over some chocolate cake balls with a white chocolate coating. They were a train wreck. He had his laugh nonetheless. Then it was time for my laughs.

You see, you should never just sample things in a kitchen unless you know what your dipping into. Jon saw a bowl of creamy, white, icing-looking stuff and stuck his finger in for a taste.

He'll think again before taste testing random bowls...he got a mouthful off Crisco Vegetable Shortening.
