(From the Archives)Lemon Erasers…

Daily writing prompt
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

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.

I tried to make lemon bars once, but they turned out more like lemon erasers. They looked like Lemon Bars, and sort of tasted like Lemon Bars but felt like biting into an eraser. I learned a big lesson that day… reading is fundamental!
