lizzy and the brownies Monday, Nov. 04, 2002
I feel
So what is the brownie episode . Im kinda surprised that i totally forgot about it even though i think that it was the only time those ladies came this close to a lizard . Or this close to eating a lizard or mayb they did . Even i dont know that .
Sometime back my mother suddenly came up with another one of her crazy business schemes . I mean not all of her schemes are crazy but so far only one of them has worked and i must admit shez making quite a lot . This time she wakes up and suddenly decides that she needs to open a bakery . Awww woman . COme on. But NOOO . Theres no stopping her . SO we gave up . But the biggest problem was that She didnt know how to bake , Unlike this teacher cum reviewer i know .
I mean She baked but aanie always ended up eating the stuff . Or maybe even she didnt eat those things . Khair .. i got her enrolled at "Mrs Afsheen's Baking parlor" . The class consisted of women my mother's age with some young blood aswell .. 15 20 of them . I used to drop her and pick her up from Mrs Afsheen's parlor .
That day i was early . The watch man told me to go inside and atleast tell her that im here . This way shed hurry up a lil bit . I went to the main chamber . There was this huge crushing machine which i guess they used in making the dough .I wondered why they didnt use a beater for u know mixing all the stuff . Anyways ... I waited there . They had gone to this other room where Mrs Afsheen had her ovens . I looked around the dough room . There were charts all over the walls . Mixing references , Vitamin counts , Calories , substitute charts blah blah . Anyways I was going through this weight chart and it said that i was fat . Those darn Nutritionists !! . Just because my weight doesnt correspond to my height and age doesnt mean that im fat . Argghhh . I punched the chart . Mind you it was a friendly lil punch . I do that a lot . And i talk to myself alot too . You think its weird . Close the browser !!!
Khair as i puched , i felt something being squashed beneath the chart. Next thing you know , a lizard (we'll call her lizzy) runs out from underneath the top . I guess she felt she was under attach by a rogue being . Frantically searching for cover , for her life . Kinda like the Osama - Bush - Arafat triangle eh .!!
Anyways her tail had fallen off and i bet she saw chemical warheads heading towards her .
And i was thinking like .. "OH MAN Gross !!" What can be worse that flattening a lizard By your own damn pucnh . Right ! ? WRONG .. Wait till you hear the rest of it .
She ran and i followed her trail . She went straight to the top of the wall . Then she began her run horizontally to the wall across . She ran and i kept looking at her . Humm .... i make it sound like im watching Angelina Jolie run in tomb raider .. Anyways .. She was approaching the open top of the crushing and mixing dough maker . I smiled . I dunno why . I guess i am strange . But in a nice way .. heheh ..
Just then i heard sounds and Mrs Afsheen entered the room with all the ladies and ofcourse with my mom who introduced me to all the other mothers and there were some singles there aswell ... Not my type though . Khair .... I turned and i didnt find lizzy anywhere . I can swear that she was there but she couldve fallen in the dough maker as well . Or not .
Mrs Afsheen started the machine . I HEARD AN AUDIBLE CRUNCH .I bet they did too but they had no idea that i chasing a half scared half handicapped physically impeded tail-less lizard around the room while they were discussing the appropriate temperature for the brownies ....
I imagined lizzy cursing me throught her last breath half stuffed with brownie dough .. ARghhhh . Yuk . I made sure i didnt eat any brownie that day . I made sure MY mother didnt bring home any brownies that day . And eversince that day , i havent punched any posters or charts no matter what they claim ...
After all ... feeding 19 ladies with lizard flavored brownies once , was enough...
