I seem to be having some issues today.
eggs, milk, cream and a very unruly leek are involved…as well as my sanity.
When you start talking to your cat in a British accent, almost set the house on fire and get egg yolks in places egg yolks should never, ever (ever) be….you know you have a problem.
Let’s just say at a time like this, I’m channeling my inner Nigella Lawson and anxiously cracking the oven door open every forty two seconds to make sure all, in fact, is not lost.
…I’m working on a new recipe….I’ll have it for you tomorrow. If my oven is still standing.
over and out.
send help…and chocolate.

Everyone has issues and at least you’re happy sharing yours with the world! ha. i HATE breaking eggs on the floor though… ugh!
So excited for the new recipe! Awesome
Aw, today is definitely not your day!
Hey, it’s nothing a little Nutella can’t solve, right?
I can only imagine how hectic it must be over there…. just wanted to point out that you spelled Urgency wrong! no worries but thought you may want to edit that. Can’t wait to see the new recipe.
You also used the wrong “leek.” I was looking for the food when in fact you were talking about a “leak.” Food on the brain?
hah! I actually was referring to the vegetable.
Even if you weren’t, it would’ve been a great pun! Really enjoy this site Jenna. have a good day
Ha! Oh gosh! It’s good to know I’m not the only klutz around. Plus, I’m sure the recipe was worth it
Sending some virtual wine and nutella your way
Oh crap-ola. Egg under the fridge.
‘Oh crap-ola’ ROTF, etc…etc…
The word crap-ola will forvever remind me of my mama. I love it.
I’m in the same boat. I just sliced my finger with the knife that can cut anything from the Foodbuzz bag. Life wouldn’t be as exciting without slippery hands!
I have days as such in the kitchen when nothing goes my way… tomorrow is a better day.
lol Jenna!
I hate when that happens…. Murphy’s law right?
I def feel that chocolate consumption helps all problems and issues kitchen related -m
i don’t know if you know this or not but your FAVORITE drink at coffee bean and tea leaf is back for the season.
winter tea dream lattes are back and i have already had 2.
just giving you a heads up because i didn’t know where to post this.
OMG, can’t wait to see what you have in store! haha
I completely understand… I got coffee in a place that coffee should never be yesterday as well. It was not pretty.
Your kitchen looks like mine. Minus the eggs. And instead of talking to the cat in a British accent, I’ve been singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” at the top of my lungs to the girls. But I go into the bathroom to do it because the acoustics are awesome. We have issues.
Oh, those days are so difficult. You need a cookie, hot tea, and fuzzy slippers to get through.

…but 2 cookies…
Ugh, I hope your day gets better!
As my friends and I say in times like this…whomp whomp (in the voice from Charlie Brown)
Jenna, if only I had some chocolate laying around…..
I wish I could send you some to help you out

Hehehe… I have days like that. Although my fake accent is not british it’s a hybrid of italian and maltese, and I talk to my children and husband and not to the cat…
These days happen to the best of us.
Yikes! I’m sure something beautiful will result from the madness!
I think it’s just one of those weeks. I’m blaming daylight savings for anything and everything that’s not working out for me this week!
Tiredness? Daylight Savings!
No desire to cook this week? Daylight Savings told me not to!
Burned milk for my oatmeal? Daylight Savings did it!
Not sure what I’ll be able to use next week…
this is what usually leads to great recipes…can’t wait to see what you’re concocting!
oooh I am intrigued indeed!!!!
Look at this way–Saltillo (or even pretend ones ) Tile floor: Nice. Let Dexter lick up the eggs–probably good for his coat…..& ask him (since not doing the spread eagle screen-door cling-thing any longer….when is he coming up with something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94WcWy67Kfw hehe (Yes, we are all grown-ups, talking cats, broken eggs, & all.
Oh, P.S. I think, one day, we must see Almanzo signing this & you w/lilacs in your hair. :0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjZ6JzOul0Y
Then life would be perfect & we could all going skiing together in Taos. Hah!
Ahhh! We all have those days. This just makes for a better story behind the recipe
Hang in there! I just inhaled flour as I was making biscuits and am still coughing. At least no egg yolks were involved.
I’m a klutzy cook, too. The worst was spilling ketchup all over the fridge. Cleaning that out of the vent was all sorts of gross.
Oh, this is one recipe that I can’t wait for!
Hope your day gets better!
Ok- this post made me laugh so hard! That situation sounds all too familiar though. Let me tell ya… I can be the queen of disaster in the kitchen at times! What doesn’t kill ya makes you stronger, right? And if it doen’t kill you then yes- self medicate w/ lots of chocolate
I’m curious to know where the egg yolks ended up.
Good luck with the clean-up, Jenna! At least you don’t have a Martha Stewart-sized kitchen
Now Jenna, there’s no point in crying over spilled milk…or eggs
That’s like everyday in my kitchen!
Hope everything works out well!
I drop an egg at least once a week.
Never cry over spilled milk. Or cracked eggs, for that matter.
Glad to see you are still maintaining your positive attitude! We all have those “moments.”
This post brought me way too many smiles!
Good to know we all have off days in the kitchen. I had one of those weeks a few back. Everything seemed to go wrong!
I dropped an egg yesterday! It was way to early in the morning for me to care.. I just left it there until lunchtime.. oops!
