Oh brother. This whole week has been one kitchen / baking conundrum after another. *Exaggeration* There have been 2.
First - this week I learned that it is not enough to rinse the knife blade that cuts an onion. The onion juices are more powerful than water...thus leaving the fresh cut pineapple with a hint o'onion. Not good.
Second - soooo last week I made some celebratory cookies which turned out MEH!!! I blamed the humidity. It wasn't that they were delicious...it was more that they weren't pretty. My two coworkers helped me consume them.
Fast forward to tonight...while making another batch ( these too give away as celebratory or condolence cookies - more on that in my next post ) I discovered the issue with last week's cookies. I accidentally put baking powder in the recipe instead of baking soda. Duh!!!! I know this was the issue cause I don't keep baking soda with my baking supplies. My baking soda is in the laundry room because I buy it in bulk to use in baking and laundry and cleaning.
