Note to self...

When the baked beans turn out too runny because they didn't bake long enough, do not, I repeat, do not put them in the oven to thicken up right before leaving for mutual for two hours.

Seriously, just don't do it.

Note to self

Don't ever start getting smug about how your kids haven't been sick all winter long. The kids are liable to get sick with horrific coughs, strep throat, and ear infections as the winter comes to a close.

For a whole month.

Note to self...

When making a graham cracker crust, and it calls for 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs or "about 18 graham crackers," measure it first. One graham cracker, apparently, is 1/4 of the wafer, not the whole thing unbroken.

Note to self...

Crayons don't make an effective rinse aid.

Note to self...

It's not a good idea to disguise swiss chard in spaghetti sauce. You're just wasting a can of tomatoes if you do that.

Also, never use old capers, even if they smell fine. They taste like someone threw up in the spaghetti sauce.

I guess that's what I get for being adventurous this week, cooking-wise.

Note to self...

Millet stew is NOT good eats.
