So, we were asked to bring snacks to our community group on Sunday. It meets from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. to discuss the sermon and it is always nice to have a snack for the group members and their kids.
We are going to be at the beach on Sunday and won’t be there, but the host family served everyone dinner last week. I really wanted to do something for them.
I forgot to send them a thank you note. I thought this would be an easy way to show them how much we appreciate them. It won’t take long to bake something and take it to their house early.
It has not been easy.
Why?
I made a chocolate Bundt cake this morning and even though I greased the pan it stuck to it. Really stuck to it. I tried to loosen it with a knife, but it remained in place. The only way to get it out was pry it out in big chocolaty chunks.
Jdaniel wandered into the kitchen and commented on how yummy the kitchen smelled. It did smell wonderful. Chocolate cake can really fill a kitchen with a wonderful scent.
Guess we will have cake crumbles for dessert at our house.
Then I thought I would throw together some brownies. I read the directions carefully and again greased a pan. They were so soft and moist that they kept falling apart when I tried to cut them and put them in a cookie tin. Some made it into the tin. They aren’t in nice pretty squares, but they taste wonderful. I tested them out while Jdaniel was upstairs playing.
Guess the ones that fell apart will be brownie crumbles we can have for dessert.
Finally I took out a package of slice and bake sugar cookies I had purchased for a muffin tin project. These had to come together. We didn’t have any other things to bake in the house.
Whew! They came out of the oven looking and smelling great!
Guess we don’t be having sugar cookies for dessert at our house.
I don’t usually have this much trouble with cakes or cookies. I guess God decided what they really need for snack on Sunday is cookies and we really need to have chocolate crumbles.
I think my guys will thank God!
