My growing reputation

So I’ve surpassed a whole new level. One of my co-workers, who has not once read about  my cooking catastrophes has actually coined a new term related to my kitchen disasters.

I was at the office when she came in and said “Hazel, I made cookies yesterday but when they came out of the oven it was completely gooey and a complete disaster! When they came out I thought of you!”.

*Silence*…

Apparently she pulled a “Hazel”

Even though she hasn’t read a word of this blog she has experienced the misfortune of eating one of my cookies (a first and last time experience, I think). It was my first day of work and I wanted to blow everyone away (by everyone I mean the 2 people in the office) by being the lovely suckup who brings in delicious cookies on a Monday morning. Too bad my idea backfired a little…I didn’t taste-test the cookies beforehand (I baked them that morning and may have left them in the oven a tad too long) and they came out ROCK hard. I could hear her teeth breaking as she chomped down on the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie…apparently diamonds are not the toughest substance in the world. She politely said the cookies were very tasty and slyly tucked the 1/4 eaten cookie in a napkin and later slipped it into the garbage bin…she tried to do it without my noticing (bless her heart).

One day I’ll change the meaning of pulling a “Hazel”…one day…
