Honey likes (and I love) chocolate chip cookies.
For the past few years, I have been buying the Nestle Toll House cookies pictured above. They have 12 cubes of cookie dough that you break apart and as they cook they become more or less round - cookie shaped - cookies.
At least they used to - the last several packages I've bought were not anywhere near ready when cooked according to the directions on the package. I have increased the temperature and added cooking time and they are still not done.
I cooked six last night, and after cooking them five minutes longer than the directions they were still gooey. Honey took her three, put them in the microwave and set it for two minutes. In less than a minute there was thick smoke pouring from the microwave, and it smelled to high heaven. The cookies never actually burst into flame, but they continued to smolder and smoke for several minutes after we pulled them out.
Now the whole house smelled like charred chocolate, or something worse. I can't believe that even burned chocolate could smell that bad.
Half a can of Febreze, followed by a generous dose of Lysol spray and the house smells okay now- or maybe we have just got immune to the odor.
