Camera’s First Pictures

Hip, Hip, Hooray!  New Batteries!  New Charger!  Unfortunately, we were kind of out of the habit of taking pictures, and then blogging about anything.  It is hard to think of things to blog about in January.  It is COLD and DARK outside.  Windy, blustery, rainy, snowy.  None of which lend themselves to great picture quality.  I feel like there is a lot of pressure for the first post in so long.  It better be a great one!  Instead, I am going to amaze you with Animal Crackers.  Every so often I’ll get a bag of animal crackers to snack on.  And Wowsa!  We were not disappointed when we opened this package!

What the...??

Look at that!  A ginormous animal cookie blob!  This was about the size of my palm, and I just knew of its blog-worthiness.

trapped!

Here is the bottom.  Obviously, the animal-cookie-batter-distribution device had a bit of an “issue” the day our bag was made.  Can’t you just picture it?  Dispensing… Dispensing… Dispensing… and then all of a sudden, erupting, making a satisfying Blurping noise?  It does seem a bit amazing to me, that this giant cookie blob got past quality control.  Don’t all these factories run the baked cookies on a belt past people looking out for these kinds of abnormalities?  Or is this particular cookie maker missing that step, and the cookies go directly from cooling into bags?  I kind of like the idea of someone seeing this blob, getting a kick out of it and letting it get bagged up, sent to the store, and then to our house, so we could get a kick out of it too!
