Did you know that Pillsbury reduced fat biscuits will absorb the taste AND aroma of Bath and Body Works raspberry oil air freshener?
Well, now you do. Because I accidentally proved this thesis. And ruined my lunch.
(Take that, Einstein!)
This is one of those things where all the stars and planets and supernovas in the universe aligned just right … for me. Or rather, against me. But possibly for humanity, so no one will ever have to suffer through this excruciating ordeal again.
It kinda happened something like this:
Friday: I want tuna fish. Unplug electronic Bath and Body Works Wallflower oil dispenser to plug-in electronic can opener. Place oil dispenser on kitchen counter. Make tuna sandwich, revel in delight, continue with life.
Weekend: Boyfriend time (smile and blush)
Wednesday: Cleaning lady comes over to help neaten house while I work from home. Saves me from myself, does amazing job. I pay her. She leaves.
Thursday: Come home from work, elated by pleasant house smells. “Mmmmm, raspberry.” Advance further into kitchen. Overwhelmed by house smells. “Ehhh, raspberry.” Approach counter. Discover purple puddle of oil. Then notice upside down oil dispenser (courtesy of cleaning lady) … never plugged back in. Holding nose, reluctantly clean and scrub. Aroma lingers.
Weekend: Boyfriend time (smile and blush)
Monday: Craving Pillsbury biscuits with dinner. Pop can, shove into oven, wait 13 minutes. Mouth waters. Eyes cry. Soul bleeds. Finally, oven beeps. Remove Pillsbury biscuits. Eat one, shutter from pleasure. Shove rest into bag, place on counter, go to sleep.
Tuesday: Grab bagged Pillsbury biscuit for lunch. Fight morning traffic, scream obscenities. Race through deadlines. Sit down for lunch—finally a moment’s peace—bite into biscuit. “What’s that TASTE?” Stare at biscuit, mind jarred. Events converge in brain.
I commend you on even trying to bake something!
So, my sister in blogdom, I have nominated you for a Liebster Award – go on up to LeftofPlumb and see what the deal is! You are the best!!!
At least it was kind of sort of a fruit flavor. Better than pine or evergreen or beachy suntan oil. (trying to find a positive for ya, because that must have sucked!)
Hey, where’s my comment? (I thought I posted it as soon as your post was published.) Well, here goes again.
Hilarious post, and I consider myself forewarned. I’ve tweeted it, so you’ve done the Twitter community a service, too.
So weird, Lynette! Your comment never showed up ’till now. So sorry.
Thanks for the tweet! Hopefully the warning shall spread like wildfire. Ha!
FUNNYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Ha! Thanks!
that’s so bad…but, then you would have never known …
EXACTLY. It’s how we learn best … right?
those are the kind of things I REMEMBER!
Love this.
Thanks, Shareen!
Hopefully this will never happen again …
