Wordless Wednesday – When nonstick sticks

Really messy muffin tin pan with blueberries cranberries streusal topping. Don't know how to clean stuck on food.

Stuck in the garbage disposal? Tongs to the rescue!

Cup stuck in a garbage disposal, using tongs to remove retrieve it

We’ve had the garbage disposal for 8 months now without any major problems. Then twice in one week, this happened. Somehow, of all the dishes that were placed in the sink first, this one little plastic cup managed to slide right into the garbage disposal hole.

 

And this perfectly sized cup was also just tall enough that it couldn’t be pushed farther into the disposal so I could reach in, get a grip, and pull it out. It was also just short enough there was no lip I could grab onto it from this angle either. It was wedged as tight as can be without wanting to go up or down.

 

So tongs it was! It was still difficult to get the tongs wedged in and secure a grip, but once I did, it came right out. Well, and then right back in a few days later, but that’s beside the point…

Cupcakes out of this world… Sorta

But not really. No recipe for delicious cupcakes here. :P

For whatever reason, the above cupcake made me think of a globe. When I went looking for pictures of the Earth that would display that, I came up much shorter than expected. Maybe if the Earth’s water were green instead, I would’ve had way more luck.

^ That looks nothing like the swirly cupcakes, huh? They’re really more like tie dye swirls.

I probably just spent more time looking for pictures about that single cupcake than that cupcake existed, though. It was actually the result of the leftover batter of these:

And those were all crumbled and chocolate-coated into cakeballs….or rather, crackballs, because boy oh boy did they make the kids crazy!
