It ...Yes, Claire, I had a similar experience today! It did not involve a burnt offering, but it did involve insufficient attention to the task at hand! I put biscuit dough into the blender when the blade was not inserted, and then wondered why the blender was not doing anything - we hope no flour has got into the motor!<BR/><BR/>Well, Faith, I am glad there is hope for me that I will have no more burnt offerings after some years of marriage :). Your idea re: left over batter is great! I'll have to try that!Sherrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762088276758854686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178176908788570301.post-65945483243867874462007-10-27T03:57:00.000+11:002007-10-27T03:57:00.000+11:00Hi Sherrin: funny post.

What i like to do with leftover cake batter is pour the remainder into muffin cups (sprayed with PAM) and bake as cupcakes!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608258814596465122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178176908788570301.post-21157791237284455122007-10-25T14:28:00.000+11:002007-10-25T14:28:00.000+11:00Too many, Sherrin,Too many...After 7 years, I've f...Too many, Sherrin,Too many...<BR/>After 7 years, I've finally learnt-Do not try to multitask while cooking hubby's morning omelette.

I loved reading your story - thanks for sharing!<BR/><BR/>Hi Susan, it sounds like you and I may be somewhat alike when it comes to cake batter :). The most prominent cake spilling episode occured because I trusted the recipe - it said a certain sized cake tin so I used that even though there was obviously too much. I only have one cake tin . . . so perhaps the "throw it out" option would be best for me! I'll see if I can enter that into my my anti-waste brain :).Sherrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762088276758854686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178176908788570301.post-31415711618256949772007-10-25T00:20:00.000+11:002007-10-25T00:20:00.000+11:00I had to giggle as I read about the overflowing ca...I had to giggle as I read about the overflowing cake, because I've done that! Not since getting married, but I have done that. I never seem to remember that it's better to throw out some batter (I hate wasting food!) or putting the extra in something else, than filling the pan to full!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270306505994055790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178176908788570301.post-81411270936149457362007-10-24T21:38:00.000+11:002007-10-24T21:38:00.000+11:00Sherrin ~ all your mishaps sound like "gotta exper...Sherrin ~ all your mishaps sound like "gotta experience it to learn" type of mistakes. These little learning sessions will probably occur long past your first year of marriage, too!<BR/><BR/>My mishap was about 10 years into marriage and thinking I knew what I was doing! We had invited the church group to our new home, and I baking 35 potatoes while chili cooked in the crockpot.<BR/><BR/>All of a sudden I realized that there was a FIRE inside the oven. I had placed all the buttered and seasoned potatoes on a cookie sheet that had slits on the four corners. There was enough butter/grease from that many potatoes to drip through those slits and onto the oven floor and coils causing a fire!<BR/><BR/>My husband and another husband came running with the fire extinguisher all ready to douse the entire contents of the oven-- meaning, no dinner for all these folks!!<BR/><BR/>Quickly I said, "W-A-I-T!!!!" And I managed to salvage the tray before the "firefighters" went wild with panic and sprayed the oven...and put out the fire...and saved the day...and didn't ruin the potatoes after all!<BR/><BR/>Our kids and the kids visiting, of course, all came running with toy firemen's hats, hoses, etc., to "help" put out the fire. It is a treasured memory we share with the friends who were there. Unfortunately, I wasn't the camera fanatic I am now...so I don't have pictures to prove it all happened!!
