I decided to make cheesecake today. I stirred the filling by hand and it seemed as if it was never going to coagulate, and my arm started to tire out. I have absolutely no stamina. I switched arms.
I started to stir with my left and not even five seconds into it I had gooey, sticky, messy white stuff running down the counter, cascading past the cabinets and forming a thick puddle on the floor.
I stood there censuring myself [yes, audibly to the confusion of my girls]: “What the hell are you doing Maria? You know you’re not ambidextrous. You are not. Ambidextrous.” I cleaned it up, brooding over my idiocy.
It was alright though.
I got to lick the spoon.

Not my cheesecake in the photo, BTW!! I hate cherries.
Lol!!! I am so glad I am not the only one who can’t stir a batter left handed!
I want some cheesecake though, got any UPS nearby?
I was just about to compliment you on your culinary prowess, then I read the post and your little blurb here about that wasn’t your cheesecake in the photo. LOL ;-)
@Scylla – would it be bad if I said it was gone already. Ahem…
We always think that we can d the impossible when there’s dessert at stake…
I have a mixer. It’s ambidextrous for me. ;o)
@Judtih – *lmao* I know!!
@avery gray – We do too, but it takes up too much counter space, and I didn’t feel like lugging out. I will next time though!
