Yep, I forgot to mention the best part. They were wrapped in foil, and I had switched them over to the oven. Had one of the guests pull them out, and bring them outside. They set the cookie sheet on the coffee table outside, and the neighbor's lab got into both of them. I'm not one for animal cruelty, but that dog was pushing it. I did have to issue an apology to my guests, as I thoroughly cussed out the dog while shoe-ing it away.
The second best part, was the funny looks I got from the guests when the first thing they saw me carrying up was my fully stocked edgestar. Water hadn't made it over yet, and ya gotta have priorities
