My cooking tragedies
Not too long ago, I volunteered to bake five dozen cookies for a bake sale. The club was supposed to sell the cookies to raise money for tsunami victims, I think... So I decided to go with a cookie recipe I had tried before at least three times, all triumphs, a recipe for peanut butter cookies. I tried one batch first, just to test it out... and for some reason the cookies turned out salty. I couldn't figure it out! I rechecked the recipe, and nowhere did it mention adding sugar... but then it had turned out so well before! So I went ahead and baked five dozen of the cookies... and realized they were STILL salty. By then I didn't have any time to start all over, so I had to bring the five dozen salty cookies to school. Needless to say, it's probably doubtful that the club raised much money that day.
