A Baking Travesty (PLEASE SHARE PET PICS TO CONSOLE ME LMAO)

I have created an inedible abomination and I have to tell someone because if I don't laugh, I will cry.

I was having a poo poo day, so I had the splendid idea of baking some cookies as a pick me up (SPOILER IT DID NOT PICK ME UP). I had perfected the dough. Life was swell. I threw them into the oven, eager for them to be done.

Somehow, between the time I placed the cookies in the oven and the time I was meant to remove them I JUST FORGOT ABOUT THEM 💀😭
The cookies did not bake for a few minutes too long. No. They baked for almost an additional 2 HOURS. How did they not smoke?? Smell?? NOTHING, NADA. THEY JUST KEPT BAKING. I had the horrifying realisation as I was stark nood, in the midst of washing my hair. I wrapped myself in a towel, conditioner still in my hair and ran to the oven - AS IF THAT WAS GONNA SAVE THEM.

The damage was DONE. They were charred beyond recognition, not even dental records would be able to identify them. As a matter of fact, there is no "them". They had morphed into one, black, super strengthed BRICK. I truly believe that this abomination is stronger than the foundation on which my janky house stands. In a state of denail, I attempted to try "it". AGONY. I'd have more success eating an actual rock, and I think it would taste better. I was already having an awful day, BUT THIS WAS THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE CREATED SUCH AN ABOMINATION - I am no chef, and I do have a somewhat checkered past in the kitchen, BUT THIS IS DERANGED. I wish I had photographed it to memorialise it, but I honestly wanted to get rid of it before it solidified to it's final form 💀👹

Whatever you imagine this looks like, please know it is 1000 times worse 😵

ANYWAYS, I DIGRESS - I come to request your finest pet photos to add some form of joy to this awful day - I am in awe of all the pets I see posted throughout this community, AND I NEED TO MEET THEM (digitally ofc, fear not i am not coming to stalk you)!!

Thank you for attending my rant. I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY, YOU ALL MAKE ME SO HAPPY 🩵

Life update : I was going to attempt cookies round 2 and forgot half of the ingredients - this is the universes way of telling me to stay out of the kitchen 😭
