Kitchen issues, part 436

This week has not been a good one for me and cooking.  I had the issue with the pie (it still turned out pretty good).  I dropped the salad all over the floor.  My cookies all came out fine, but I realized when my oven started pouring out smoke that I bought waxed paper instead of parchment paper.  The kitchen was smoky and the cookie sheets ended up all waxy and gross and hard to clean.  I hate waxed paper.  I’m planning more baking for this weekend.  I’ve learned from my mistakes, but I just know I’ll find something new to destroy.

Possible disasters:

• I’m trying two things I’ve never baked before.  They’ll be inedible.
• There are two ovens.  I’ll preheat one oven and try to bake in the other one, wasting hours on cookies that aren’t cooking and ruining the empty oven.
• There are four hungry dogs in the house.  They’ll eat the dough.
• There are four curious dogs in the house.  One of them will end up in the oven.
• I’ll get distracted quoting Martin and Lewis with Mel and the cookies will burn.
• I’ll get distracted quoting Martin and Lewis with Mel and the house will burn down.

Yeah, those seem likely.  Who’s betting?
