Manic Monday-Never say Never

January22


Have you ever made snowballs and preserved them in the freezer?
Have you ever had a cooking disaster?
Have you ever sent or received a piece of fan mail?

No, yes, no.
I am usually a pretty good cook, but I do have a story or two to tell. I remember one meal I cooked that I burned every single thing. All of it! I hardly ever burn anything (as in that was the first and last time, except bread, sometimes it gets a little darker on the bottom than is ideal), but that one meal made up for my usual non-burning self.

The other disaster of note was my first from-scratch pie crust. I neglected to take into account the fact that I was using self-rising flour, and so I added salt to the crust. Blech! My dh loves a pie, though, and he ate it anyway.

    That would be terrible to burn everything in a meal!

    Thanks for playing Manic Monday.

    My brother saved me a snowball once. I didn’t see snow til I was 12, and went up north to visit…it was snowing furiously before we got there but stopped and melted just when we arrived. So I had a frozen snowball to console myself with.

    Love your “no yes no”. I had to really expand on each of them.

    Shame about your whole meal getting burnt. I hope it wasn’t a special one.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
