Here’s today’s picture. It was submitted by Spatulas on Parade.
1. Is it a bird? A plane? Umm . . . I don't know what the hell it is . . .
2. I'm selling this on ebay as a piece of Stonehenge. Who's gonna say it's not?
3. Mom: Yes, darling, it's a beautiful art project.
Four year old: Do you know what it is, mommy?
Mom: Well of course I do, honey, how could I not?
Four year old: What is it?
Mom: Oh . . . umm. . . quick, I almost forgot, come into the kitchen, I made cookies.
4. Wife to husband: You bought me this for my birthday? At an art gallery? Are you sure you didn't pull it out of a dumpster? Umm . . . I mean thank you dear, very thoughtful, you shouldn't have. And I mean it, you shouldn't have.
5. Woman to self as she runs out of the museum: I don't know if that's a person who ate a rock or a rock who ate a person, but I'm not waiting around to find out.
And on that note . . . now for something yummy:

Delicious looking cookies and yes a weird looking object. I think it is some sort of bulb but even my friend didn't know what it was and it was at her house. LOL
ReplyDeleteSeriously? I thought it was some kind of moon rock at a museum. This was so much more fun and funny to do without knowing what the heck it is!
DeleteSo you don't even know what it is?!?! You evil woman you. Well played.
DeleteChad showed me pics on the Internet. He could be onto something. Ugh. I NEED to know.
DeleteThe first thing I thought of was a piece of ginger root. Now, I won't sleep nights until I know what it is
ReplyDeleteSo funny how we all thought something different!
DeleteWhen I scrolled by - because I was dying to see your cookies - I thought it was like a petrified bat or something. ;)
ReplyDeleteNow, about them cookies. omg - they look amazing!
Carol says she knows what it is. I need to get her to clue me in!
DeleteGreat captions! Yummy cookies!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a bird's nest. It actually looks like my attempt at sculpting in grade school. And no, I didn't know what that was, either . . .
Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of grade school sculpture too. This was actually a lot of fun to do, not knowing what it is.
DeleteLooks like something the birds do. Now the cookies are torture for me. Since I am in dental hell, caramels will not be in my future! :(
ReplyDeleteLove that, something the birds do, now why didn't I think of that.
DeleteHope you're released from dental hell soon, Haralee.
Do you have to make me drool over those cookies when they are off limits to me while I'm dieting? So cruel.
ReplyDeleteOoops, my bad. Ignore the cookies . . . if you can.
DeleteKaren, I will have to admire the cookies from afar; I got dem sugar blues... but the, ahem, object could be something out of H. P. Lovecraft, by way of Ralph Steadman who drew those wild illustrations for Hunter S. Thompson, back in the early '70s. Pretty crazy looking thing! Mary
ReplyDeleteSo funny that everyone sees that thing differently. Pretty crazy looking is a good characterization.
DeleteI love love love your captions, especially number two, AND you gave me delicious cookies to look at. <3 I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jules, you too!
DeleteSeriously----what IS that thing?? You might be right---it's a rock who ate a person!
ReplyDeleteThat's what it looks like to me!
DeleteLove your captions, Karen. Wow that's something definitely scary looking!! Thank God! your delicious cookies calmed me down:) Your sweet treats are always a TREAT for eyes and definitely for mouth too:)
ReplyDeleteYeah, whatever it is, I don't mind never seeing it again!
DeleteOK, so what is it?!?! You are going to tell us, right?
ReplyDeleteAlso, another question. You say to leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for 30 minutes after baking. How exactly do you do that? Don't you taste them at different points of the cooling process to make sure you are serving inferior goodies??
I don't know what it is!
DeleteYou need to read that again, it's 3 minutes, just so they don't fall apart when moving them. Although my kids have no problem eating them right out of the oven.
that would make an awesome horror movie, weird rock, cocoon thing comes alive in a museum
ReplyDeleteI'm scared enough just looking at it.
DeleteScary looking. Cookies look yummy though
ReplyDeleteGood thing you specified, wouldn't want to think it was my cookies you thought were scary looking!
DeleteGosh. We all asked, but even SHE doesn't know what it is.
ReplyDeleteAliens among us! RUN!!!
Someone said something about a bulb, but it looks much more like an alien to me.
DeleteHiiiii, Karen, it's so great to be back here and if not through a Fly on the wall post then how else, lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd for Pete's sake, what the heck is that thing? rofl
