Cooking in Bulk, Part 2

One Sunday morning, I thought I'd bless my family with some breakfast coffee cake. I have a recipe from my friend that results in the kind of coffee cake I used to get at Starbuck's. Yum.


I pulled out a couple of mixing bowls - one for the cake, one for the topping - and began assembling ingredients. Both bowls required flour, so that was quick and easy. As I added the other items, I discovered that I was putting them in the wrong bowl. Sigh. It was the chicken enchilada soup episode all over again.

A quick bit of math (see, kids, multiplying fractions is a very useful skill!) and I made somewhere around a double batch of coffee cake. Definitely enough for more than one breakfast!

And there was much rejoicing.

  2. Oh dear, sounds so familiar! Been there, done that. Worse, some of my mix-ups could not be rescued (I am convinced that one day scientists will prove that having kids twists your brain! *smile*).

Come on, leave me one.

p.s. - If you ask me a question, please, oh please, leave me your email. Otherwise I can't give you an answer, which makes me feel like I'm ignoring you, and then I feel very bad.
