I had this week of horrible mishaps in the kitchen. It started with this dough for these rolls that just wouldn't rise. I tried the recipe twice, and finally just left it for the raccoons. After consulting with my cooking (especially with bread) expert Tanya, she suggested another and better recipe. Well it worked.
But then I was making some pumpkin bread (something I've already made 3 times this season) and it just overflowed in the oven. I must have doubles something on accident. I was SO MAD!
Then I was steaming some apples to puree for Finn and the water cooked out and the juices from the apples burnt the pot. It took me 3 weeks to scrub out.
AND THEN!!!!!!!! I was sauteing onions and garlic (like I do all the time) and the onions all of a sudden turned BRIGHT GREEN and smelled and tasted funny. ( I searched the internet for a good explanation but found none, if you can find one you're my hero.)
I later made some pumpkin pasta with the leftover pumpkin for the pie that I made with one of the pumpkins I got from the farm. It was GOOD!
And this sweet potato lasagne that I made on Saturday WAS SO delicious! Recipe later.
And I made bread again (the first time since Finn was born.) This was my best batch yet. Oh it turned out so well. So I guess all is not lost in the kitchen.

Disasters aside, can you come and be my personal chef? Your concoctions always look so tasty compared to my Lean Cuisines!
did you use the bread recipe I sent you?
Oh man--you made some good-looking stuff!! That lasagna looks delicious! I love the photo of the pumpkin bread...hilarious! I had some kitchen mishaps yesterday actually. There are good days and then there are really, really bad days!
i used to have my garlic turn bright green when i lived in menlo park! some internet source said it can happen when it reacts with a metal (i figured it was from my tap water)... copper maybe? i can't remember.
