For all of y'all out there who think I don't make mistakes cooking or everything I do turns out purrrrfect you are sadly mistaken. I have as many f*ck-ups as I do successes. What is life without setbacks??? BORING I SAY!!! This afternoon I placed my garlic in the oven to roast for my pizza tonight. I then proceeded to put some walnuts in a pan to toast slightly so I could sprinkle them over the apple pie pizza. I then continued over to my laptop on my kitchen counter and proceeded to read ALL of YOUR blogs. You know who you are. I was so engrossed in Wedding Planning and Football Games w/no alcohol that I completely let MY NUTZ BURN!!!! And as any man can tell you, it is no good when your nutz are burning. I kept smelling something god awful but did I turn away from the blogs I was reading???? NO. Finally I said to myself.....SELF, something does not smell right. I kept thinking it was my garlic because I completely BLANKED that I put nutz on. Burnt nutz are one of the most hideous smells. Thankfully there are woods right off my deck so I could chuck the nutz. My house smells as if you are sitting around a campfire in one of those native islands where the men wear those long sticks on their dong dongs and we are burning monkey bones to sacrific to the Gods. I need a clothespin for my nose.
Oh and my sourdough starter blew up all over my fridge because I got cocky and added 1 cup of flour and water instead of the 1/2 cup it called for. I tend to do that once in awhile. Get too big for my britches as one would say. Cocky should be my middle name.

That's what they make the timer for! A little reminder to take the pan out of the oven! All of us amateurs know that!
BAHAHAH. what a mental picture. Good story.
Stacey, I am looking for something good-but not complicated to fix for our small group dessert for Wednesday. Any ideas? I will probably fix a fruit tart or banana pudding, unless I get a genius idea from you!
Have you ever made the not yo' mama's banana pudding?? The one with chessman cookies and bananas and pudding w/sweetened cond milk etc?? You make it in a 9x13 pan and it is really good. It is a paula deen recipe....this link might work.

oooh I also have a good recipe for espresso brownies which is real easy and also a peanut butter and fudge brownie w/salted peanuts. Let me know if you want any of these. I have one for a dulce de leche cake also that I made into a tres leche cake. Pretty easy but you have to refrigerate overnight but it is toooo die for and will put 20 lbs on your thighs.
Actually her recipe is VERY close to mine. I make the old fashioned custard also. I have made it before and they all love it-ESPECIALLY warm! Thanks!
