Christmas bakeoff 2006

Filed under: — Kari @

KARI: *hangs up phone* GAH!

MIKE: What?

KARI: You know how I baked five different kinds of cookies, two kinds of bread, and one kind of muffin for Christmas presents?

MIKE: Yes.

KARI: You know what recipe people want?

MIKE: No.

KARI: The cookies you made.

MIKE: The chocolate ones?

KARI: You made one kind of cookie, and that’s the recipe everyone wants.

MIKE: Oh.

KARI: Don’t “oh” me.

MIKE: I’m sorry?

KARI: This is why I don’t cook. You always win.

MIKE: It’s not a competition.

KARI: Sure, you can say that, winner.

MIKE: I didn’t even like those cookies. They weren’t sweet enough.

KARI: That does not help!

MIKE: What are you doing?

KARI: Going online to get recipes!

MIKE: Are you baking today?

KARI: No! These are for next year!

MIKE: Next year?

KARI: I am going to beat you next year!

MIKE: We’ve been watching too much Friends. You sound like Monica.

KARI: You are going down! Look at this recipe! Sugar cookies made with cream cheese!

MIKE: Sounds tasty?

KARI: And this one! Pinwheel cookies with orange and chocolate filling! People love orange and chocolate! Like those oranges made from chocolate! They were all the rage!

MIKE: Actually, I think the evidence points to people just liking chocolate.

KARI: *gasps in horror*

MIKE: Ha!

KARI: You should just stop talking.

MIKE: I’m just saying. Maybe you should just use my recipe next year.

KARI: Next year, we’re having a Christmas bakeoff!

MIKE: Fine by me!

KARI: We are watching too much Friends. Because you just sounded like Chandler.

MIKE: It was intentional.

KARI: Oh. Well, you’re going down! I have all year to find recipes with which to beat you. People will be begging for my recipes!

MIKE: Bring it! I don’t need to research all year. Apparently all I need to do is find a recipe at the last minute and throw it together. It worked this year!

KARI: AH! Didn’t I say you need to stop talking?

    I totally hear you here. I am always so proud when I make something, but then Aaron hops in the kitchen and blows me away. He’s a punk. Mike, too.

  2. Kari Says:

    Punk boys!

  3. Susan Says:

    I have just the recipe for you, Kari. :ninja:

  4. Kari Says:

    haha! That’s right! Susan’s got my back! Mike’s going DOWN!

    :lol:

    Im having a soft spot for Chandler at the moment. Which only do to the fact that Im watching Friends right now. But then the Monica side of me says louder “TAKE HIM DOWN!”

  6. scott Says:

    GO MIKE!

    *horrified gasp*

  8. Kathleen Says:

    I am so conflicted right now. On one hand, I am filled with compassion for Kari and all the hard work she put into her Christmas goodies. On the other hand, I’m wondering what that recipe is…

  9. Kathleen Says:

    Ooh! Never mind! *clicks on link*

    Ahem… Mike, you’re going DOWN!!!

  10. _steve Says:

    TAKE HER DOWN, MIKE!!

  11. Geof F. Morris Says:

    Dear Mike: Let her beat you, just like you let Alisa beat you in Halo last year at Trey’s house.

  13. mike Says:

    thanks geof for bringing that up!

    kari…game on!

  14. kelly Says:

    well i didn’t get any of your cookies. and all i wanted was a earl grey cookie. thanks kari

  15. Roger Says:

    I’m amazed how well you remember these conversations. Hilarious!

  16. Jason Says:

    Ross is the one who exclaimed “Fine by me!” after Rachel said they were never getting back together. Chandler never said that. And yes, I know I’m a Friends geek.

  17. katie Says:

    wait…did we ever the earl grey cookie recipe?

    don’t let mike’s fluke cookie success get you down.

    just remember…FAT KARI CARES NOT FOR CHOCOLATE COOKIES. FAT KARI CARES ONLY FOR PANCAKES.

    don’t you feel better already?

    (post an sgb reminder around october. we’ll do some digging and find something to destroy mike.)
