Guest guest Report post Posted May 16, 2010 You keep up the kitchen fun. Most people will hang up the apron when they have disasters and say, I can't cook or baking isn't for me. Practice makes perfect. You have to have a strong will and enjoy the kitchen and all it has to offer. I can make my banana bread with my eyes shut. I had a horrible batch turn out last week, the birds loved it. I thought I was making a double batch at the end of all my baking for the day and I measured everything for a single batch but added an extra 2 cups of mashed bananas. LOL so I still have a disaster now and then too. Oh by the way I was not laughing at the time it happened. This is funny now but not at the time, years ago I reached across the flaming burner and burned my left breast, I had to smash the pan lid on the burning T-shirt to get the fire stopped, so you have to be very careful too.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 16, 2010 Oh, that burn must have really hurt! Glad to hear the birds enjoyed the extra-gooey banana bread! I'm still annoyed about losing my half-baked pumpkin cake all over the inside of the oven door - I got rid of that darned silicone bundt pan as soon as I could! I am glad that it didn't spill inside of the oven, though, as that would have been harder to clean up. One Thanksgiving, Mom put the salt in the pumpkin pie - twice! She did have extra pumpkin, though, and was able to make another - but boy was that first bite a surprise! Reading about others' kitchen disasters gives me hope - if really good cooks can screw up, I am less hard on myself Audrey On 5/16/10, thelilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > You keep up the kitchen fun.
