Tuesday, June 06, 2006 You would think I would learn...............Generally I'm the type of person that learns from my mistakes. I make a lot of them, but try not to repeat the same ones. There are enough things for me to mess up without repeating. :oD Well, last night I kinda messed up dinner. I made chicken vegetable soup (one of Heather's favorites) and decided to add some hash brown potatoes, not a good idea. It looked like coconut floating in my soup. The taste was fine, it's potatoes for goodness sake. Not a huge mistake or anything, it was still good, but I'll not do that again. Well, the real fun came in when I made dessert. I wasn't feeling really good, but Byron & Heather wanted Frosties (I did too). I got the recipe from www.hillbillyhousewife.com . It's the Magic Milkshake Recipe, if you haven't tried it, it's wonderful!!! I use one Tablespoon oil instead of 2 and they are great. Well, one time when I made them I forgot to put the top on the blender. Not too big a mess because I had the lid ready, just wasn't thinking and hit the button before I got the lid to the blender. Another time I forgot to put the spout on the front, then I took the cap off to put it on, of course it poured out (duh!). And yet another time the blender wasn't put together, just sitting on top of the base and I pour the water in and it went everywhere (at least it was just water). Well last night I put the spout on, check to make sure the pitcher was attached to the base, added all of the ingredients and put the lid on. I started the blender and set the timer for 2 minutes then got the glasses out of the cabinet so they would be ready when the timer went off. Then I turned back around, brown liquid was oozing from the bottom of the pitcher all over the cabinet and onto the floor! For goodness sakes!! The pitcher was on the base, but not real good. I was so mad, I flung the pitcher into the sink. Byron came in and offered to clean it up, but I said, "Nope, it's my own fault for not checking the thing. It's my mess." He knew I wasn't feeling well so he rinsed out the sink and pitcher while I mopped up the mess on the counter top and floor. After we got the mess cleaned up I went and washed my face and went to bed. It was too late to be having frosties anyway. I'll try again tonight, first checking everything carefully as if I were flying an airplane. Maybe I need a checklist.......... |
