I was thinking about this thread, and I remembered another... when hubby and I were first dating, the girls wanted to bake cookies. I at that point did not want to showcase my complete lack of kitchen skills, so I figured how hard would it be to make cookies!

Heather was 10 at the time and wanted to make choclate chip. Ashley was 12 and we were adding food dye to sugar cookies to make red sugar cookies. Well, she figured she'd make green choclate chip cookies, and green they became. And she thought if she added red, then they'd be red and green swirled (I guess that was her line of thought) well they turned out a hideous olive color. Those were the saddest looking cookies known to mankind. I think hubby and his mom were the only ones brave enough to taste test them. LOL

To this day she blames me for not telling her green cookies would not be appetising, and everyone blames her for making the saddest looking cookies! and thus, they figured out my little secret: I can't cook!
