Humbled

On Friday night I was humbled by a cooking disaster. I had worked hard to make the baby back ribs, but it turns out they were cut unevenly, so when I cooked them my special way, they did not cook at the fat ends, all the way through! One rack was not affected this way, but sadly the other ones were. I was so mad at myself. I should have seen it and I should have cooked them longer.

My next disaster was trying to make a blueberry cake and having TWO of them only raise up 1 inch! I couldn’t figure out what was wrong! Then it dawned on me…I haven’t baked in three years because I am on Weight Watchers. Chances are very good my Baking Powder was flat.

The one good thing is that my potato salad came out very well, and our fresh green beans tasted so sweet and yummy! Still I was angry that the other two items were not my best effort.

Saturday I woke and after breakfasting, off I went to the Greek Festival, where I work every year helping my neighbor. We had perfect weather, a large crowd and at the end of the day, there was almost no food items left!

I came home feeling tired and happy, and sat down with my feet up, sipping tea. Just one more thing left to accomplish today (dinner for Hubby), and then I am off for the rest of the night!
