Note to self: when recipes call for a stick of butter, apparently they are referring to half of what I consider a stick of butter.

Last night in a fit of festivity I attempted to make cookies. But the batch of doughy little balls that went into the oven came out a solitary mass of congealed yellowish goo. It took a few minutes to realize I’d loaded them up with FOUR sticks of butter instead of two.

I should stick to less mentally demanding holiday activities. Feats of Strength anyone?
