Hello! How are you? I am great, but the RER headquarters not-so-much. I had a mini disaster this weekend. But first let’s talk FOOD! I made a scramble with some of the Thanksgiving leftovers. And I made homemade buttermilk biscuits because I had leftover buttermilk and flour. They are so easy to make!
I felt fancy for a second. Then, I remembered that I’m living in squalor.
Friday I noticed a little water seeping up from between the planks in the floor. I thought it was a spill. After I dried it the water came back. Oh no. Long story short, it was a cold water leak. All the flooring had to be pulled up. And we moved things around so we could get it all dry. I immediately called Emergency Plumber Columbus to fix the leak. And if you need water softener services, make sure to contact the experts like water softener installation seattle wa. Then I called the roofer who offers trusted roofing services to fix the roof. Now we’re looking for new flooring options at flooring stores Canberra.

Vegas enjoyed the new view.
Luckily, I live in a condo and the leak was from a pipe and their responsibility. So they sent someone to fix it. A few hours, a big hole and a lot of noise later and it was all fixed!
The culprit!
Now I am living with beautiful cement flooring. It’s very industrial sheik.
To make myself feel better I decided I should make cookies. (Read as: let me eat my feelings and no one gets hurt)
And I know this is shocking, but every now and then I practice moderation. So, I cut the OG chocolate chip cookie recipe in half.
Except, I messed up the math somewhere and they all smashed together. FAIL!!!
What do you do after your blog headquarters floods and you make sad cookies?
Obviously.
That was a real cat-tastrophe! Hope the put a new floor down for you soon.
Best thing I ate was an extra dark chocolate peppermint Lindor truffle. You can only buy them at Christmas.
At least you caught it early. Our first house flooded for 12 hours! My husband and I were both at work so we had no idea it was going on. It totalled a little over $60,000! It was a nightmare!!
Wow, amazing how much damage can be done by such a little hole in that pipe. I’m sure you’re glad that it wasn’t up to you to fix it.. I think I would have just gone straight for that bottle if it were me 😉
At least Vegas didn’t panic… That cat seems pretty chilled. Although maybe that’s from the fridge..
The best thing I ate this weekend….chocolate lasagna, CHOCOLATE LASAGNA! I swear! And I have no idea where it has been my whole life but it’s here now and it is heaven on earth. Sadly my mother hasn’t given me the recipe…..
OMG that is too funny. When it rains, it pores- no? That cookie still looked edible…..I hope you still ate it as one big, wonderful cookie monstrosity. Hope the floor gets fixed quickly! If not, there’s always more champagne….. 🙂
I love baking but about 40% of the time it turns out like that. It’s a fun little gamble.
haha love how this post unfolded a story that ended in you drinking champagne straight from the bottle! hope that all gets cleaned up for you soon. best thing i ate this wknd was sushi & stir fry at my bff’s house…and wine. red, dry white, more red.
that cookie picture looks like one of those pinterest fails, you should make it a meme. Champagne straight from the bottle is always the classy choice 🙂 You should take those cookies, break them into pieces and put them in a glass of milk, or at least thats what my husband would do
The best thing I ate this weekend was an amazing veggie curry thing I’ve been having a lot recently. It’s literally a ton of veggies cooked up with spices, there is absolutely no science to it. I cooked it for a friend and he said it was the most nutrients he had had all month. 😀
The floor!!! Oh no!!! what a mess!! I hope you get some nice new flooring in soon.
I, too think I would be super upset about the cookies…icing on the cake. I’ve had that happen before and it’s so frustrating. The best thing I did this weekend? I went for a 35 mile bike ride on Friday. It was 64 degrees in New England. How could I pas that up? Best thing I ate? I ate WAY too much apple and pumpkin pie, so I made turkey soup with the left over turkey and it was soooo delicious!
Bummer!!! I am so sorry to hear about that!! Flooded condo and sad cookies are the worst.
Best thing I ate all weekend … Toss up between Friday breakfast’sThanksgiving quiche or Friday night dinner’s hibachi adventure!
The best thing I ate this weekend was probably my homemade chicken and dumpling soup last night (the girl was sick) and the best thing I did all weekend was getting to shop with the hubs.
Sorry about the leak, but even more sorry about the cookies!
(Did use margarine? ) Using Butter and chilling the dough for about 30-45 min first will stop that from happening!
Well, that looks like one cookie to me, I’d grab a huge glass of milk!
I ate a grilled Elvis yesterday…Peanut butter, banana, bacon with my own little twist of caramelized onions. It was strangely delicious!
Well since I ate too much over the weekend I decided to start counting calories and join MyFitnessPal….one day down and so far so good…ha!
Oh geez. The flooring situation looks serious. Glad you took the correct action and drank champaign….haha. Best thing I ate this weekend was actually the easy pumpkin brownies you blogged about a while ago. They were great. Thanks!
I’ve been eating the Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Stars and it’s starting to become a problem… As far as the “did” part, as corny as it sounds, watching my kid see the Christmas Tree magically appear in the living room when he woke up from his nap was pretty cute.
Water leaks are my biggest fear as a home owner. I am so worried that my plumber is on the VIP list in my contacts.
I love the commentary/pics/and resolution i.e. champagne. If only every daily problem could be solved so easily. Taking notes…..
Sorry about your floor, that sucks I know from experience. I did a Reindeer Run 5k today which was pretty fun!
