I was lucky enough to be serenaded with a pump up song (Jesus Loves Me) over Skype by my spicy little cowgirl before an entire afternoon/evening of community dinner prep.
I had one job: dessert. The idea was a great one, and the execution was going smoothly until I was on the verge of adding vanilla to my giant bowl of ingredients when I looked down and realized I had made the most classic baking mistake. Rookie mistake. I couldn't believe it. Tablespoons instead of teaspoons. CRAP. And so began the dessert baking adventure. From that point on it was all laughs and improvisation. I added the most random amounts of every other ingredient to make up for the massive amount of salt I accidentally mixed in because of my little accident. The fun continued when Kim and I decided to nap at Christy's while waiting for my crazy concoction to bake, only to wake up and find the kitchen filled with smoke at the exact moment the mission team staying at the guest house walked in the front door. Thankfully the only burnt parts were the charred droppings that overflowed from the pan and were practically superglued to the bottom of the oven.
A hit. After all that...it was still a hit. Now I'm considering trying out for a cooking show. Watch out world.
