this is the house in philly that got me back on coffee. it’s the house of tracy & justin. amy comes down from nyc often as well. I had my coffee this morning and listened to the girls as they baked up an extravaganza, in a way only two sisters could.
here are the hightlights.
-
12:13 [Tracy] ‘Amy, if you’re going to bake, you’ll need to take that scarf off.’
12:16 [Tracy to Amy, who needed to switch baking shirts] ‘Good God, and you think you’re going to survive in hippyland? [asheville]‘
12:20 [Amy] ‘Don’t be a beast, I was making cookies before you were in the goddamn womb’.
12:26 [Amy] ‘Seriously?! You drop this in cat litter and then use it to make cookies?’
12:37 [Tracy] ‘I said DON’T listen to Martha!’
12:46 [Amy] ‘That doesn’t make any sense.’ [Tracy] ‘It makes sense around here.’
12:52 [Amy] ‘You’re treating me like cheap day labor!’ [Tracy] ‘If I wanted cheap day labor, I would have asked Aric.’
12:54 [Tracy] ‘You know, most bakers are alcoholic.’ [Amy] ‘Because of drinking vanilla extract?’ [Tracy] ‘No, Amy.’
1:01 [Amy] ‘You’re going to charge me for sprinkles?’ [Tracy] ‘Yep.’ [Amy] ‘No shit.’
1:11 [Tracy] ‘What the hell, has Justin been drinking the orange extract again?’
1:28 [Amy] ‘I f*cked up, didn’t I?’ [Tracy] ‘Yes, you f*cked up. and on the chocolate chip? It’s the easiest cookie!’
1:35 [Amy] ‘It’s starting to get nasty. Which means one of us needs protein.’
1:37 [Tracy] ‘Amy, you want the cookies, but you don’t want to put the time in.’
1:39 [Amy] ‘I would prefer you to tell me why you need me to get something and then I’ll get it’. [Tracy] ‘Get it and I’ll tell you.’ [Amy] ‘You’re a naaaasty bitch.’
1:44 [Amy] ‘You know I shop by texture? I also eat by texture. And touching these cookies makes me never want to bake again. I think I’d rather bait a hook.’
