Lady Luck must have been on my side because last night, I WON SOMETHING (two of my co-workers also won, yay)!! At a work raffle, I put two of my three tickets into a box labeled "cookie making set". Which, as you know is very appropriate for me with the whole learning to bake thing and all. Finally, after the other uninteresting prizes were claimed, the announcers brought up the box of tickets for the cookie set. I crossed my fingers, closed my eyes and chanted "oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please" under my breath. Something must have worked because they called out my ticket number and I couldn't help but shout with glee (making a pretty big fool of myself, of course)! I pretty much ran to the stage to claim my prize. I rarely win anything. It was awesome.
Here's what I won:
- One cute green basket that currently sits under my kitchen sink helping to organize my cleaners.
- Two Betty Crocker sugar cookie mixes and though I want to make my cookies from scratch eventually, I think I'll use a mix first and work on my Royal Icing. Yum-o (yep, a little Rachael Ray action)!
- One Betty Crocker cookie recipe booklet. They all look delish!
- Two silicone spatulas.
- Two sets of Chrismas sprinkles.
- One set of Christmas themed cookie cutters.
- One set of measuring cups and spoons.
- Two cookie cooling racks.
- Two cookie baking sheets.
I didn't even own half of the things that were in that basket. The best part of it all, you ask? I got it FO' FREE! I really like free stuff. Who doesn't?
Until later,
Baker in Training
