Kitchen Comedy

Oy, What a day!

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I LOVE to bake. I love to bake alone when the house is quiet, and I love to bake with the kiddos helping. The only thing I don't love about baking is the want to eat it afterwards. I wish I could bake and walk away from it. Maybe this time I can have some, and send the rest to work with the hubby tomorrow.

I woke up this morning with the baking bug. A serious baking bug! Its a fairly cold day here, and having the oven on all day wasn't going to be an issue. I got out the cook book and started looking for something new.....

I decided to start a stew for dinner, that's not baking, but it was nice to get that taken care of. I moved from that to preparing to make a peach cobbler. Mom had sent me home with about a dozen great fresh peaches that needed to be used, so this seemed perfect.

The Peach Cobbler went off without a hitch, so much so that I decided to use the bananas I had getting brown to make Banana Bread too. I put the cobbler in the oven and went to work on the bread. I had enough to double the recipe but stumbled when I got to the butter milk part. Crud- I have no buttermilk! No fear, I used the cookbook to find an alternative..........

That is when the Comedy show began.......

OOps, I used to much and when I discovered it, it was too late. I called Mom for help, and she suggested that I add another batch to even it out, and include some peaches since I was out of bananas. At first I thought that wouldn't taste good, but at that point I had no choice. I sliced up more peaches and threw them in there while I was laughing at myself. While I was stirring those in, I realized that I was a complete nut! I had it right the first time. Ahhhh crap, All I could think of was Chef Ramsey in Hells Kitchen saying "Now get the Hell outta my kitchen" It was a disaster! I considered throwing it out, but everyone has a break through moment in life. Maybe this will be good I told myself....I'll give it a shot.

We'll see it's in the oven now. Cross your fingers......

Wow, it's actually pretty darn good if I do say so myself.......I'm surprised!!!

Needless to say after that fiasco I cleaned up the kitchen and got outta there. Good thing that I started dinner before hand, who knows what woulda happened with that!!!!
