I want to say that this was my most epic fail, though in truth, I’m certain that there were far greater culinary catastrophes in my history… I simply chose an easy one to write about.

I’m not even sure how I managed to do it, but on a particular evening with my Chica, we got the craving for a dessert of some kind. Looking in her cupboards for available ingredients, along with a DIY Pinterest recipe, I confidently tackled what I thought to be a very simple recipe… thought being the operative word here!

I swear that I followed the directions, along with using the proper ingredients and measurements, but by the time they’d been properly cooled and neatly sliced into perfect squares… it was like biting into a rubber eraser that had been flavored with lemon, no joke!

Needless to say… they were totally inedible! Even the dogs turned their noses up at the chance for a human snack.

I’ve made some virtual Lemon Bars for our daily cookies, but this time they should be much better… just flick off the parts you don’t want.
