Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I would never have left the flour out of some bread I was making this weekend. I know better than to look at runny batter, think to myself that it sure could use some more flour, and then go ahead and put it in the oven without doing anything. Nope. Not me!
I would then certainly not turn the oven timer to 60 minutes for said bread, and then proceed to go take a shower and get ready. All the while, I would not ignore the fact that I could smell something burning, and just pass it off as something that had previously spilled in my oven burning. Not me!
Furthermore, it was absolutely not me who then took a look in the oven, turned it off, and then left the overflowing goopy, lacking flour mixture that had overflowed into the entire bottom of my oven, in the oven because I didn't really know what else to do at that point. I would have definitely cleaned that mess up promptly.
So, it is definitely not my house that smells like a fireplace because I had to put the oven on self clean on Saturday to git rid of the enormous amount of burnt to a crisp "would be Amish friendship bread mishap.
However, it was me who later redeemed myself and made another batch of bread that turned out so good that we ate an entire loaf in one day. That I will absolutely take credit for!
I bake/cook so infrequently that I'll often start a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies (the only culinary talent I have), set the timer, then go do something else and ignore the kitchen timer when it goes off!
