Last night… I went to bed after I posted… daughter woman stayed up per usual… Miss Night Owl ๐ฆ lol
About maybe an hour after I went to bed… there was this smell…
At first it was a familiar really yummy smell… Mmmm I smell chocolate… oh wait itโs cookies ๐ช
Then the smell turned really umm? BOLD ?? ๐ณ … so I got back up to see what was going on… are you burning my home down? Lol
I had made cookies the other day. My daughter likes to have them fresh out of the oven and nice and warm – she also dips them in milk (๐ I am not a cookie dipper lol – donโt care if chocolate chip or Oreos – I donโt dip lol… I donโt like it soggy and dripping ๐๐)
She wanted them warmed up… to mimic being freshly made in that moment…
Well I donโt know what she was thinking ?? Possibly not thinking …
Cause I said โwhat are you doing?โ
She replied… โI wanted the cookies to be warm, so I microwaved themโ
Oh, well did you burn them or something?
I burned 3, but 2 seem ok…
I asked how long she microwaved for… and she tells me … one minute and 30 seconds ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ and I laughed cause Oh my god! I told her that was WAY too long!! Lol
She asked me how long she should have done – I said โ10 second intervals to make sure not to ruinโ lol
I told her they were probably all junk cause that is way way way too long – they all had to be burnt!! Lol … she insisted 2 seemed ok…
I watched her take small bites and heard the rock like crunch ๐๐ and then she said – yeah they all burnt ๐๐
I said โthatโs ok, I made alot- just a get more, throw those away, they no good.โ
To which she said โ that was the last of themโ ๐ฎ๐ what?? Lol … well then I guess no cookies ๐ช for you tonight lol
Instead she pulled out a sweet treat I have in the freezer… is a chocolate thing you have to heat up in the microwave ๐๐
I said โopen one side of the package, place in the microwave, and DONโT do a minute and 30 seconds, only 15 seconds at a timeโ ๐๐
She did that twice and it worked for her lol.
We donโt use the microwave a whole lot… either for defrosting, reheating or warming up… is usually me lol …
Perhaps microwave cooking lessons be in order here lol… one day someone will be a college student – and will need that skill when mom isnโt there ๐๐โ๏ธโค๏ธ
The smell of burnt cookies slightly lingers in my home this morning lol ๐ช
Also… I forgot to show this last night on my last post… I always try to expose my kids to past culture because I want them to be cultured and see what came before them… ๐ถ music, ๐ film, just so they know more than whatโs been around while they have been alive…
Last night … they did show me this โค๏ธ … they love these old clips and they did find this really funny and it is โค๏ธ…
That was something we all laughed at… connection through classics โค๏ธโ๏ธ love that!
I am so with you. Burnt stuff to a crisp in the microwave even after following the instructions

I love to dip my cookies and oreos in milk! Yum. It doesn’t get soggy if you do a quick dip.

Lol… yeah I donโt like drippy even if doesnโt get soggy lol … just a personal preference…
I am weird with foods like that…
As a kid… I didnโt want my food touching – and I would eat each thing one at a time as I turned my plate- food was not allowed to touch lol
I am NOT that bad now ๐ I have gotten better with that since I was a kid…
But I still have ways ๐โ๏ธ
