My "I am so stupid" moment
Yesterday was our weekly Picnic-at-the-park potluck lunch. I had 45 minutes and nothing to take, so I decided to make German Oven pancakes and custard sauce. I quickly made up the oven pancakes and started on the custard. Well, it started foaming and boiling over. I was standing there totally baffled as to why this was acting so different. It even tasted salty instead of sweet. I looked in the cupboard at my ingredients, sugar, cornstarch, salt, when I realized that the cornstarch had a red lid and I screwed on a green lid. I then realized that I put in 1/3 C of baking powder instead of 1/3 C cornstarch. What a waste of a quart of milk, sugar and baking powder. Down the drain it went and I started over, doing it correctly this time. It turned out yummy as usual and the kids had a great time at the park.
