THAT MINTY FRESH WET DOGGIE SMELL !

Not being one all that good at baking foods, it's the measuring thing or lack thereof that does me in all the time.
Well I wanted to bake a cheese cake. A mint cheese cake that looked so good in the picture. So off I went to the local Package store thinking I'd also buy a Lotto ticket, hey you never know right?

I found a little bottle of the green minty stuff and a couple other cooking wines.
Went to the check out and was expecting to just pay for the bottles and be on my way.
Well the woman at the check out must have had slippery hands because she dropped the bottle of Creme De Minthe all over the counter. It dropped straight down from her hand and in one quick motion fell to the counter, where upon the bottle exploded surprising me with a shower of the very green minty fresh liquid.

I tried to catch the broken bottle with no success, before it rolled off the counter Splish splashing onto the floor. Now I know Saint Patrick's Day is coming soon but this was not a good thing. The store manager ran over,"Are you hurt? Did you cut yourself?". I was very very minty green. But luck would have it that I didn't get cut from the broken glass, just minty wet.

I cleaned up with a roll of paper towels but the smell was still with me. I left the package store forgetting to buy the Lotto ticket that I'm sure would have been the winning ticket but what are you gonna do? Having in mind to go into the grocery store to buy one of those pre made graham cracker crust pie plate things. As I went through the store, I felt like there were cats following me around like I smelled of fish or something.

I noticed people stopping and staring at me. What? Was the smell of the mint shower so intoxicating that they had to do a double take as I walked by them in the aisles.
Finding the pie plate graham cracker crusty thing I caustiouly approached the check out. Which by the way are now not as wide as they used to be.
The girl looked at me like I smelled like I was from the bar next door.
I proceeded to tell her that I'd just come from the package store and the bottle broke and I got green and minty all over.
She laughed and said that she would put me in her diary before sleep tonight.

Then as if that wasn't enough of an episode today for me to get through,
when I got home, I walked into the house to find Gordie the stinky old farm dog
fast asleep on the rug in my bedroom. Grampa Say's "He went in there just after you left and that he doesn't stink that much". So now I'm all minty fresh while my bedroom stinks of wet dog. I need a drink!
