Jake walked in during the aftermath and just started laughing. Not helpful, but probably deserved. I was going for chocolate chip cookies and ended up with what looks like a flour bomb went off instead. Even managed to get some in my hair somehow.
Twenty minutes of sweeping later and I’m starting over. Take two, with both feet planted firmly on the ground and the bowl actually IN my hands this time.
