I'm a little less Nigella Lawson and a little more Nigella Lawless in the kitchen.. It's not that I don't know how to cook, it's just that I like to do things my way. If a recipe asks me to peel a tomato or requires reading for more than a page, then it's not for me. I like to keep things simple and by simple I mean I totally use boxed cake mixes. But even if I'm following a simple recipe somethings gonna happen. So I've compiled a list of 'somethings that happened' so they don't have to happen to you. Consider this blog your list of Chef Boyardon'ts.
A Recipe for Disaster
- Preheat the over to 350 but forget to check that you were storing Tupperware in it
- Use cake flour that expired in 2007
- Realize you weren't supposed to use cake flour but self-rising flour
- Think you're using a one-cup measuring cup, when it actually holds two
- Mix all ingredients you do have and put in an ungreased loaf pan that is supposed to be greased
- Look in microwave and find the melted butter you were supposed to include
- Wait until the end to read the recipe in its entirety only to realize you're out of baking powder
- Put in the oven to Bake for 65 minutes and get an alert you have to be at the dentist in 15 minutes
