My Kitchen Challanged DD Is Baking....

a Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Coffee Cake. I'm shocked. She dislikes cooking and baking. She would rather clean the kitchen (or any other room for that matter) than use it for its intended purpose. lol

Ask her anything about Labor Law and she can tell you, cooking/baking,well, it's not her thing.

I'm not going to complain, I get to eat cake I didn't have to make.

I made a pot of potato soup so supper is ready. We can have cake and coffee later tonight.

And, my son came over and plowed us out.

All and all, not a bad Saturday.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Enjoy that cake and coffee this evening.

I enjoy baking, I've been int the kitchen all day...I just discoverd that i used a T of baking soda instead of baking powder cookie dough, ugh. They look like biscuits instead of a cookie....I hate it when I do stupid stuff like that.

@Mom2Dogs

I have been there and done that! It happens to the most accomplished cooks. I bet it won't happen again.

@maximillian Glad I'm not the only one, lol...I usually get all ingredients out before I start mixing, I didn't follow my own rules. The cookies were for DH he likes lemon, so I a hoping the lemon flavored frosting makes up for the mistake, if not, in the trash they go.

edited to fix typo

@alicedee I'll set another place. The potato soup turned out great of I do say so myself.

I'm anxious to see how her cake turns out. It is in the oven and smells wonderful.

@Mom2Dogs I've forgotten or grabbed the wrong thing too.

My biggest boo boo was forgetting to put the tuna in a tuna noodle casserole. LOL Don't think I didn't question my sanity that day, I have no idea where my brain was.

Bless you. We've all done things like that. At least you have time to recover.

I've made silly mistakes like that, too. It's so irritating at the time, but makes for a funny story! Like your casserole @CrazyKittyLvr2!

Enjoy your evening, it sounds like a wonderful way to spend a winter night!

It's easy to do things like that when baking or cooking. I made banana muffins a couple of weeks ago....had the eggs whisked and in a little dish sitting to the side, and noticed them still in the dish after I had put the muffins in the oven. Oh well! I thought they were a little "off" - DH said they tasted fine!

One thing I am is a "messy" baker but a very coordinated one.

I have this set of glass bowls and another set of pampered chef prep bowls bought over 25 years ago. Use them almost everyday!

Before I start I have all my ingredients measured out & ready to use. After I add ingredient I put dish in sink.

Sounds great but when I'm baking I go from prep of cake/cookie to preparing topping.

By the time I'm done I have a full sink of dirty dishes ready for dishwasher.

I'm just the opposite when cooking I clean up as I go along.

This week I'm making italian bowtie frappes (italian bowtie cookies) for a cookie exchange. I guarantee flour and powdered sugar will be everywhere!!!

🤷‍♀️🙄😉

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Enjoy ... sounds yummy!

Mistakes in baking ... When I was a kid my Dad, who is not a baker, decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies. They never spread out and were like baked "jaw breakers." My mom kept wondering what had gone wrong but, me and my siblings thought they were the best! We could gnaw on a cookie for half an hour.
