It's going...
So far today I have:1.Been frustrated with my blender for not crushing ice fast enough for Derek's breakfast smoothie. (I'm sticking with yogurt bases from now on.)
2.Woke the kids up early so we could get my car on Derek's way to work. (Left it at a friends over the weekend)
3.Went to the store to get WIC. Spent the last bit of allotted grocery $ on a snack breakfast for the kids and some yogurt (See #1.)
4.Came home and started custard base for homemade coffee ice cream. (Am very low on sugar, short about 1-2 TBS, oh well)
5.Decided mocha would taste yummier, and added baking cocoa. Couldn't decide if it would blend with hot or cold better, so I added it to the eggs(cold). Blended well, but my pan slipped when I was SLOWLY adding the scalded milk and I ended up "cooking" the egg mixture a little too fast. (The lumps are disguised as chocolate lumps, LOL)
6.Wanted to eat a chicken sandwich, but realized we are out of bread. Didn't buy any because I thought I still had a stock pile in the freezer. (Won't buy any, #3.)
7.Decide to make bread, SH**! recipe calls for sugar (LOL, see #3.) Find recipe using honey instead.
8.I add the flour as called for(5cups), but the dough stays, well...doughy...and sticky. Add more flour, maybe they messed up the proportions (doubted that). 2-3 cups later it's looking better and I turn it out onto "floured" surface. I wonder to myself why it's taking so much more flour than called for, and hey, why is my flour so lumpy?
9.I think back to my grocery shopping and realize I never bought flour. But yesterday I had seen a bulk bag of white "flour" in the cupboard. It kept getting in the way, so I added it to my flour container. Today I realize that it wasn't flour I addedto the container, it was the biscuit mix I had bought in bulk because it was cheaper that way.
10.Now knowing what the problem was I scrap aside the remaining (not much) mix and get to the flour to knead in to my bread...finally it starts becoming a non sticky dough ball.
11.Lesson learned! LABEL!!!
12.Am writing this drinking the last bit of coffee not needed for the ice cream mixture. It needed sugar of course, didn't have any, of course, poured it into the sugar dispenser to soak up the leftover granules in there. It's good STRONG coffee!!!
13.I think I should be staying out of the kitchen today...LOL! I'll let you know if my sewing goes as astray.
