Gingerbread cookies are a bitch to bake! You've got to sift all the dry ingredients (and there are like 6 cups of dry ingredients made up of 1/2 teaspoons of different spices), and you've got to boil 3/4 cups of water until the baking soda is dissolved, but by that point the 3/4 cups is more like 2.5/4 cups, and there's a terrible burning smell because of the spot of molasses that was left on the burner. AND THEN when you try to wash the measuring cup you used for molasses, and you think it's going well, you realize that no, it's going absolutely shit because the molasses have (has?) accumulated on the back of the spoon you're using to clean the cup. Piss. So then you wipe the spoon on a cloth, but then the cloth is stuck with molasses on it, so.
What happens to molasses? How does it go away?
While I'm on the subject of perplexing questions, how do sea monkeys happen?
