Expectation Versus Reality

[TastyReuben]

Here's a new topic, expectation versus reality.

You know what I mean...you get that lovely-looking frozen pizza, figuring on an easy supper, and it looks so good on the box, with the pepperoni evenly spaced all around, and strips of bell pepper laid artistically every inch so, but when you open the box...everything has been scattered to one side and you have to spend 10 minutes reassembling it.

Here's my first offering.

Expectation:

Reality:

I'm for certain the fine folks at Wondershop don't follow their own instructions and instead use piping bags with different tips and all that, and regardless of what the instructions say, I think it'd be easier to decorate the doors and windows first, then assemble it.

Let's see your mangled Big Mac and your lopsided cookies!

My ex-wife and I made gingerbread houses every year. We got pretty good at it. We used our own piping bags and tips. I did most of the piping -- I had very steady hands for that kind of work (still do -- maybe 90-percent of what they were).

The bad thing is...that turned out better than last year's!
