Scrap and Run

i had a fiasco with making pizzelles tonight

first i can't find the recipe from the box or gram's. i keep it all in the box so i was very upset. then i find the recipe on the floor. it must have flown out. then i get out the eggs (need to be room temp) and the butter. the butter has to be melted then cooled. then i leave that alone. i come back and get the rest of the ingredients out only to learn that we do not have enough flour.

but since i know gram doesn't really use a recipe i could make do. i had to kind of throw away an eggs wroth. i had all three eggs already in the mixing bowl. then i had to use less butter. it seems to be pretty good. i couldn't do like gram says and test the first one and add more flour if need be because i didn't have any. so i didn't get very many but it's enough to have like a dozen at my parents' house and then take a about 2 dozen to pb's family. i'm not even sure if my gram made any or not for this year.

oh i forgot. when i was trying to organize my bowl, the iron, and the cooling racks i burnt my fingers pretty good. they still hurt. it's been about an hour.
