For New Year 's eve I attempted to make banana bread for my grandma. I only had enough bananas for one loaf, so I made two tiny ones so I could keep some for myself. I set them in the oven long ways and set the timer. they started smelling delicious before I thought they would so I decided to check on them..... The pans were tilted to the side and big goops of the batter had dropped to the oven floor and were cooking very fast next to oven coil.
You know how when something goes wrong you panic and want to start doing something right away to fix it even though you don't have a plan. Yeah, thats usually me but I have been burned by the oven too many times to let that happen again. So, I shut the oven door and thought about what I could do to get the dough off the oven floor before it started burning and leaving a horrible smell in my apt.
AHA! a lightbulb goes on above my head. A) Turn the pans perpendicular to the oven shelf rungs. B) get a spatula while the dough is still soft and try to scrape it off.
Yup, ladies and gentlemen my brain has cat like reflexes and I always seem to "land on my feet"
Results: bread was delicious even if it looked a little mishapen on top
Lesson learned: no matter how long have you been doing something, you are never exempt from making mistakes
On another note. I have been sick the last couple of days and have gotten a ton of knitting done while recupperating. I finished my first pair of socks. Not my first sock mind you, but my first pair. You may know this, but I like making the first sock to see how the yarn stripes. then the mystery is over and I'm not that excited to make the pair. Well I did this with 3 socks and I finally finished a pair this weekend. They are adorable and I can't wait to wear them to Bible study this week. We always take our shoes off, so everyone sees your socks. =) My next project has been giving me lots of problems. I am trying to felt a purse. First attempt, the stitches that I picked up were too tight and I couldn't knit in the round. Second attempt I twisted the first stitch without knowing it and kept going for 11 rows or so. Grrr! I am on my third attempt and am knitting loosely and will pay very close attention when I go to knit in the round.
Will post photos when I get a chance.
