Keeping it Real

I like blogs that have pretty pictures, delicious recipes, gorgeous gardens and sensational sewing but I'm very much aware that sometimes things don't go to plan. I have had two flops in the kitchen in the last two days. Just to keep the blog real, I decided to show them off.I made a chicken and lemon casserole for dinner tonight. It looked so good in the recipe book . I usually use recipes as a guideline and make adjustments along the way. Not today. It looked better than it tasted. The sauce was so bitter. I added some sugar and a dash of stock and it was edible but not enjoyable.

Yesterday I had apples on hand and made some apple and cinnamon muffins which were safe and delicious. Then on a whim I decided to use another apple for apple and custard tea cakes. I have made this recipe before and it was just fine. Yesterday however, it overflowed and dripped all over the oven tray. They were good as long as you ate them with your eyes closed.

I'm hoping my kitchen disasters (which really aren't that disastrous) are over for now.
