Two Rules of the Husband

A couple of weeks ago, I baked little heart cakes to enjoy after dinner. Unfortunately, I was a bit distracted chatting with my pal SomeMonkey and they burned a bit.
me: crap, i burned the cakes
i checked them, the top was still really wet but now they're burnt
SomeMonkey: are they burnt on the bottom or something? or through?
me: the one is just the bottom
the other, seems a bit more through
i think i can salvage the one
and i'll eat the smaller less-hearty looking one
thankfully, i know the two rules of the husband
1. he'll forgive anything if it tastes good
2. he thinks everything tastes good after enough alcohol
And that is why I then poked in a few holes in the plain yellow cakes and doused them in Baileys. And that is why I was then heavy-handed in mixing the husband's drinks.  And that is also why he thinks those were the best cakes EVER!!!

P.S. It may also be why he woke up with a headache the next morning.

Ah nuts... I can't use that one, neither my hubby nor I drink alcahol. I guess I'll just have to rely on my cooking skills and hope for the best. LOL!

Brilliant! Maybe this is the key to making my cooking taste better... drunkenness! Too bad I don't drink.

Way back when I was in college, my History Prof said: "Booze is the only answer."

He never identified the question.

Now, decades later you have filled in the blank.

Thanx!

I can't use this one either because teenage sons also consume vast quantities of baked goodies, but love the idea

Oh, very good! LOL

For alcohol-free families, there is another answer, which I use all the time: don't cook; buy the cakes.

Cate, you can bake for me any time, just saying. :-)
