I think I have been overdoing it this last week! I've been soooo tired that I can barely think!

The day before yesterday, I was making hubby some coffee, and I put the coffee grains in the filter, then put the water in the pot, stuck it in the coffee pot and turned it on.   About 10 mnutes later, I realized I had not poured the water into the coffee pot, so there was no coffee, and James had to leave before I was able to get it right. 

Then, the same day, I was making some "egg bread" for sandwiches, and I was mixing the dough.    At the same time as I was making the dough batter, I was making some ramen soup for the kids.   The water was coming to a boil.     I got an egg out of the fridge, and cracked it...and instead of putting it in the batter where it belonged, I dumped it into the boiling water!   Ugh!
That wasn't my only mistake with the bread, unfortunately!   I was looking at one page where the recipe was for the first half of the batter making...then I somehow switched to the other recipe on the page before it, and started adding all kinds of ingredients that weren't even supposed to go in that bread! 
By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late to do anything about it, so I just decided to go ahead and mix it together and hope it would come out right! 
The result was a good loaf of bread, thank goodness. 


Yesterday, I was not as fortunate! 

I found the most delicious looking chocolate cake recipe at the Making it Home website.  You can see the recipe and pictures here.

I was in the middle of doing a couple of things as well as making the cake (something I do a little too often).... trying to multi task.  Well, guess what I ended up doing?   I left out the flour!! 
I had already used almost an entire can of cocoa on this cake, and I left out the flour.      
The house started to smell awesome...flooded with a chocolate aroma...I was so excited to eat this beautiful cake in a little bit.   10 minutes till it was to come out, I peeked in the oven, and what I saw about knocked my socks off.
There was a disgusting bubbly mess... no rising cake there...it was horrible!    There was mostly liquid chocolate bubbles in there, nothing more.   
I pulled the cake out of the oven, and tried to figure out what might have gone wrong!   Then I realized.... Oh no, didn't put the flour in! 
After using so much cocoa and other ingredients, I didn't want to give up on it just yet.  So while it was still hot and bubbly, I poured it into a bowl and stirred in the flour....I thought maybe, just maybe this would be a good remedy for the situation, and that the cake would still turn out fine. 
I was wrong! lol
Here is what the cake ended up looking like...


Don't be fooled, this is not solid...you could stick a spoon in it and pull out nasty sludge!
 I  just threw it out...and made some ginger snaps that night. lol  At least THEY turned out well!
