Cinnamon-Sugar Fail Balls

I was going to bitch about a rude phone call I got today, but the post was just making me angry all over again. So I decided I would talk about something else.

I was so in the mood for cinnamon-sugar pull aparts last night, but I didn't have any money to go out and get them. All the money we had was in cash, and all of that was in the possession of one responsible Brian.

I thought, hey, I have ingredients on hand, I can make them myself! I looked up recipes and decided it would be too much work to let it rise, punch the dough down, let it rise, etc etc, so I just said "meh" and winged it.

Not surprisingly, it didn't turn out very well. Firstly, I didn't have any eggs. So I used distilled white vinegar. (What? It works!) but that wasn't what caused it to fail. I just didn't measure anything and to be honest, I am not much of a baker. Thank goodness for that, or I would have a lot more weight to lose!

I rolled and floured the "dough" and put it in some cling wrap and put it in the fridge to firm up. Then after it was firm, I cut it into squares, which I rolled into balls, and put in a pan and then dumped melted butter with cinnamon-sugar mixed in and baked it for 25 minutes and it turned into a big pan of goop! Delicious! Except not.

I basically just like to make messes in the kitchen, much to the dismay of my husband.

That was also my Valentine's day gift to him. I presented him with a bowl of fail balls. I don't think he was impressed.

We ordered pizza.

I ate 4 of my 6 slices last night (major improvement from before, where I would have had a whole pizza to myself) and we had bread sticks too. (2, instead of 4 like usual) And then I felt sick to my stomach and laid down a while.

Happy Valentines Day!
