Umm...not yum.

Umm...consistency is really not my thing. Not yet!! I can be a really good cook and my baking is something divine...but not so today.

I have learned a few lessons:

A-I need to find a new allergy medicine because what I have been taking recently is making me really spacy. I am easily distracted enough without the extra help! :P
B-Sometimes I am not the multi-tasker that I think I am. ie--talking on the phone to my sisters while making banana muffins means I will omit certain ingredients while inventively adding others.
C-I should NOT try to make two different banana muffin recipes at the exact same time. Having everything side by side caused me to make two different and WRONG recipes. :/
D-1/4 cup does not equal 1/3 cup!!!
E-Bread flour is NOT the same as all-purpose flour!!
F-Make sure you are reading the right recipe before you add the ingredients.
G-Make sure you are reading the right recipe before you put the muffins in the oven of the wrong preheated temperature.
H-Make sure you do not use your computer for the recipes...you WILL get gunk all over it.
I-All ingredients are not created equal. Do NOT try to substitute ingredients without knowing more about them.
J-Make sure you set timers.
K-...the rest of my lessons are too embarrasing to admit to any more.

I think it will suffice to say that I have been having kitchen disasters today!! I shouldn't have watched "Into the Woods" with Rachel last night...as now I have been having "baking accidents" of my own! But all's well that ends well!! I have hope that I was able to fix them...I am holding out for "yum" rather than "umm..." but we will see.
