I can relate to that!! Been making cookies the past few days. In my little kitchen where I have about 18" x 24" of counter space available for rolling out cookies.
My counter is L-shaped and I swear there is a "food magnet" on the floor beneath the L. Every time I am doing something there, some food winds up on the floor.
I also overcooked (a little) some shortbread cookies yesterday when a friend dropped by just as they were done and I got distracted. Still sending them to my sister, she won't mind.
