A Series of Unfortunate Events

This morning started out so perfectly well too.

First thing's first... banana bread made and in the oven. Okay, if nothing else...I've at least done one thing today.

With that baking, onto the rice krispies. They came out smashing.. and didn't even stick to the pot or the dish. *kisses fingers* wah lah!

Starts the peanut brittle. What could possible go wrong. I'm on a roll!

Meanwhile... makes pumpkin bars... smells fabulous, came out beautifully *of course... I'm a regular master chef, here*

Stirs the brittle mixture on medium heat.

and stirs...

and stirs...

and stirs...

Just about there.... starting to look perfect..

My mom rings the doorbell.

So the kids let her and her little dog, Hana, in. To which they want to show of their new kitty, Alice. BIG MISTAKE!! Who knew a kitty that little would already possess demon qualities in the presence of a dog?
So now, Alice (the kitty) has scratched my mom. My mom is bleeding, the kids are screaming, and the dog could care less. Meanwhile, the peanut brittle is getting more than done.

Me to the rescue, abandons my post at the stove... and throws the kitty in the bathroom. (to which I might ad, completely unscathed)

And now that all is quiet... a big hunk of nasty, rock hard peanut brittle is in a heap in the trash.

*Big Sigh!*
