Whenever I do bake, I do things like...
Add a teaspoon of red chili pepper instead of ground cinnamon. What?! They're almost the same color, and they were right next to each other on the shelf! It could happen to anyone (except my Aunt Laurie)!
But, man, that was one nasty apple pie.
I always think ahead and double the recipe so that we can have extra to eat.
At least there would be extra, if I didn't always forget that I was baking food and not charcoal briquettes.
And, just so you know (because apparently I didn't),
plastic trays, no matter how hard they may appear, do not work as cookie sheets in a conventional oven.
They will, however, create some awesome art pieces, if you like that sort of thing (and if you don't need your oven racks anymore).
Mostly, we don't like that sort of thing. And we also don't like eating charcoal briquettes.
But,
that's what we have around here.
Even when I'm extra super conscientious,
and
make sure I have all the proper ingredients,
correctly measure out all the proper ingredients, and
follow the directions step by step rather than adhere to my usual dump-and serve method,
something still happens, like
the phone rings, or
the dog pees,
or I forget to check the temperature settings on the stove,
and we get this:
in place of real banana bread. (Once I cut away the crusty parts, the insides were still good!)
And my family continues to have me (and a lot of blackened baked goods)
instead of my Aunt Laurie, or Lindsay, or Chef Boyardee.

Won't somebody please, please, take pity on us,
and bake us a plate of done-right cookies?!

Did you feed the black stuff to the dog?
and I quote, " Do you have a really good chocolate chip recipe? All mine come out crispy!" Hmmm, is that the recipe or user error. I'm buying you a cute kitchen timer...oh wait, you would still have to set it! I only laugh because, well it's funny, and I've done the same thing many a time. Usually when I'm listening to a book while trying to bake while ignoring my nagging kids who are yelling at/around me. Come visit and I'll bake you...have Rob bake you some perfect cookies! And then we'll play with the dog.
My zuchinni bread turned out great! I called it "cinnamon bread" for my kids sake. Thanks for the recipe
