oh. my. gosh.
i just spent 4 most gruelling hours in my life in the kitchen earlier. making stupid cookies. it is so tedious i felt like giving up the moment i began.
firstly the weighing scale decided to go bonkers on me and i had to keep correcting the zero error. i think i spent a good ten mins just measuring out the butter, sugar and flour. that didnt quite tick me off. yet.
the making of the dough part wasnt a problem. i placed some dough on the board thingit and started to roll it with the rolling pin thing. and that. was when i decided i made a horrible decision when i chose to make those dumb cookies.
i tried desperately to roll the dough out as evenly as possible, comforted only by the presence of my mother. (she tried to be encouraging but i saw right through it) so next i used the little cutter things to make little stars and flowers and hearts of dough. and attempted to scoop them onto the tray.
bad bad outcome. i declared myself hopeless and was on the verge of giving up. why should i subject myself to such kitchen horrors? but my mom insisted that i keep trying cause as cliche as it may sound, practice makes perfect. so i obeyed.
and spent 4 bloody hours on that stupid task. at least it tasted good. but the conclusion is, i will see to it that each and every person who steps into my house for hari raya WILL eat those cookies and they WILL compliment me for it. yups.
yes im done.
