Big picture blackout
So the sugar-addicted husband just called from the grocery store. "What do we need to make frosting from scratch?"
Me: "Umm, butter, cocoa, vanilla, confectioner's sugar..."
Him: "Okay, all I need is the sugar. Let's see...generic is only 20 cents less. I'll get the brand name."
Me: "It's the same stuff...get the generic."
Him: "No, I want good stuff. Hey, why does it say 'corn starch' in the ingredients? Isn't corn starch unhealthy? Can't I make frosting without stupid corn starch?"
Me: "Unhealthy?! WHY ARE YOU BAKING A CAKE?"
<shaking head> Some things need no explanation as to why they are just plain goofy.
Tell Brian I thought about him last night…while eating caramel corn!
