The best spill one can have!

bad brew

Nov. 23, 2009 | 10 a.m. | Fresh brewed coffee | My kitchen

I've had a coffee pot for a while. My parents and a handful of friends are the only ones who have ever used it, until Monday. I tried. I kind of failed. The pot has to be lined up JUST perfect for the coffee to drip right. I've got it down now and am caffeinated.

gyro meat

Nov. 18, 2009 | 1:46 p.m. | Gyro meat | Coffee Oasis

I've been coordinated for almost a week!!! That said, my friends are starting to spill a little more often and asking if I can blog "proxy spills." For now, I'm going to stick to my own. Though if my streak of coordination continues, I may be turning to you, amigos!

CONFESSION: I did spill a few drops of coffee at Circa modern art and furnishings during a photo shoot on Wednesday. Luckily, it wasn't on the $42,000 table, and it cleaned right up. That said, I still felt obligated to get it wiped up pronto...aka before I could get a picture.

spills to thrills

Nov. 9, 2009 | 4:13 p.m. | Caladryl | Kitchen

So this spill actually occurred on Friday night, however I wasn't fit to photograph the spill and what I made of it at the time. Caladryl? Why would I need such a thing? Well, I got the genius idea to roast, peel, deseed and stuff very hot jalapeño peppers without the help of gloves or any other utensil. (NEVER again.) My hands took hours to recover. Velveeta helped tame the burning sensation for awhile, and then I switched it up to tomato paste. Both were only temporary cures, but the Caladryl was the final charm that took the pain away. After I spilled the Caladryl I had to at least turn it into something less dismal than a spill.

pork juice

Oct. 13, 2009 | 3:56 p.m. | Pork juice | Pulling out of the Qdoba parking lot

Last time I spilled pork juice it was in a much more massive quantity than the two small drops that my pants absorbed tonight. I think I even spilled it on some other people last time...Friday the 13th could have been worse : )

barely there

Nov. 12, 2009 | 6:06 a.m. | Hot Harney & Sons Organic Passion Plum Tea | My bedroom

The best part about spilling hot tea? Not only does it warm you up, it disappears after about 30 minutes! No clean up required.

yogurt, again

a stretch

Nov. 5, 2009 | 2:42 p.m. | Mannequin hand | Small park behind the Post-Dispatch

I don't think this counts. How can you "spill" a hand? Well, my coworkers Stephanie and John said I had to count it. They were doing a little photo shoot out back, and I walked over and "kicked" the hand and bracelet out of its carefully positioned spot. And Stephanie had worked sooo hard to arrange it perfectly. Sorry, Steph. This one's for you!

for you, mr. webster

Nov. 3, 2009 | 5:50 a.m. | Milk | My bedroom

This spill actually pissed me off. It wasn't funny, and it did involve OxiClean. Uggh...did the bowl REALLY land right-side-up?!

chip slip

Nov. 2, 2009 | 7:43 p.m. | Tortilla chip | My kitchen

The best part...the chip was mine but not the wine.

yogurt X 2

Nov. 2 | 10:58 a.m. | Cherry yogurt | In my car at a red light

I noticed the first spill when it happened. My seat belt smeared the second spill before I even noticed it. Awesome.

scrambled

Nov. 1 | 12:11 p.m. | Scrambled eggs | Daudi's kitchen in LaSalle, Illinois

I'm still not sure how I ended up being the one to cook for the large group, but after three skillets brimming with scrambled eggs, I'm proud I only spilled this much!
