So in my quest for protein I came up with the thought of trying sausage balls. Sausage, Cheese, Cream Cheese. Bisquick not the best.
But a girl's gotta do something.
So I get a recipe that my friend Melissa was kind enough to e-mail me. She is always posting something insanely good it seems like. These guys were no different.
Anyhoo.. the recipe was super but is besides the point of the story.
Let me start off by explaining some things.
I cook. But I tend to cook the same things over and over again. Right now, I can only eat about 1/2 cup of food at a time. So whatever I cook it either needs to work for me or be something that I can can give away.
You should also know that I've just recently discovered the wonders of cooking things on parchment paper. If you are cooking bread-less things it helps stuff not stick.
Now on to the sausage balls. Since I'm all in love with the parchment paper I decided to cook them on a cookie sheet covered with it.
An important thing to note is that parchment paper begins to get all crispy and burned at certain temperatures... one of which I found last night.
About 5 minutes into cooking the sausage balls I began to smell the paper burning.
No problem at all really. I'll just pop that out and take the parchment paper out.
The real moment of truth in most of my stories is the moment where my sense of humor and ingenuity meet. Such is the case with this story.
I decide that it would be easier/quicker/more fun to just yank the parchment paper out from underneath those cute little culinary delights. Certainly they will end up neatly on the cookie sheet.
Not so much
We could also call this the story of the flying sausage balls. Cause baby... that's what happened next. :O)
Several of them ended up in salvageable places.
At least two of them ended up underneath the dishwasher. ewwwww.
Lesson learned and I now pass it onto you.
Never yank parchment paper off of a cookie sheet with food on it.
Just. Don't. :O)
Here ends the lesson.
-Gina the non-chef.
Oh - and for those of you who will most likely be asked to consume these guys. NONE of the next batches ended up on the floor.

Haha! That's awesome. Well, reading it was awesome. The sausage ball clean-up, I imagine, was not so awesome.
I cheat and use my Pampered Chef stoneware for just about everything. Nothing sticks to that stuff!
It really wasn't that bad once I found them all. :O)
That is funny--so glad you can see it with humor, too. Sounds like there might be some registry options in this story... Some of us do need to know some registry details pretty soon, by the way :) So, so glad things seem to be going well for your health right now!!!
Definitely true. Many of the things on my list would have saved.... nah... it probably still would have happened!
I'm registered at all the usual suspects. Target BB and Beyond. We're doing Penney's and Wal-Mart... well finishing them this weekend. :O)
