Seventeen-year-old Kevin and I are having a baking day. I'm baking my every-so-often ten loaves of honey whole wheat bread. He's looking forward to a fund-raising bake sale at church this Sunday, and tackling an untested recipe for Hershey Kiss cookies. He followed the instructions to the letter, blending the correct amounts of flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs. The dough then needed to be refrigerated for one hour before wrapping it around the kisses. I kept up with my mixing, kneading, rising, baking and wondering where Kev had disappeared to. His bowl of cooky dough still sat on the table, no closer to being ready to be shaped into delectibles than it had been ages ago. Finally, I called down to the basement, because I swear I heard him playing pool. "Kev, didn't you mean to put this dough into the fridge?" "No," he answered, with a cue in his hand and the confidence of a guy who can read plain English. "The directions say to chill for one hour." A domestic god in the making.

  8. Hey, Kev...here's another dollar for you!
    Posted by Bridget  on  12/31/69  at  12:00 PM
  9. Hey, Scotty and ladies! Well, Kev is the fortunate recipient of $8. I told him that in exchange for only a small amount of humiliation, he'd get a buck for every comment this story generated. Lisa, yes! I had decided to send it to RD. If it sells, Kev will have hit the jackpot!

  17. BTW, the aforementioned cookies turned out great - I caught Mrs. Perez at church walking off with an armload of the gems, convinced that Katy had made them.

  30. Yeah. Katy doesn't have time to bake cookies anymore. She's out looking for a full-time job to pay off her debt to her kid...
