Today I had to make caramels for the YW Bake Sale. Nobody else would make them so I volunteered. Bad idea. I've never made caramels before and had no idea what was involved. After 2 failed batches (and lots of calls to family) I called my friend Susie who is a caramel pro and went to her house to have her supervise/make the caramels. On the way home the pan of hot caramel spilled all over the seat of my car and purse. I parked my car and had a complete emotional breakdown. Danny got a phone call with a hysterical crying wife on the other end of the line. Danny thought someone in my family had died. Instead he heard, "The caramel just spilled all over my car. (more hysterical crying) Can you come home?" And he did.
Who knew caramel could cause emotional breakdowns? Now I know. Beware.

Liz! that is so rough! I think I would cry too
is it bad that this post made me laugh?? until i read the breakdown part... i hate days like that!
Sorry, that sucks!
Don't feel bad about having an emotional breakdown over spilled caramel in your car, I think that is warranted. I cried last week because I spilled bleach on my favorite workout pants. Now that is pathetic!
Hope Danny gives you a nice foot massage tonight, even if he hates feet, you deserve it!
I laughed so hard! That is totally something I would do. I'm sure Brendan gets sick of my meltdowns. There are some desserts Brendan doesn't allow me to make anymore because I get so stressed out when they don't turn out. Your situation was pretty bad though. Caramel all over you car and purse stressed me out just reading about it. I'm really sorry!
