I am drawn to things a little off, a little quirky. Like this measurement in the scones recipe I got from my food editor friend:
Put an egg in a measuring cup. Add cream to just between 3/4 and 1 cup.
Makes me smile every time.
Thank goodness cooking doesn’t require a license. Based on recent performance, mine surely would have been revoked. Over the past week I’ve made a half dozen thoughtless errors from not having key ingredients on hand to messing up ingredients (wrong amount, added at the wrong time, etc.) to this unfortunate boilover. Emergency grocery store runs mid-recipe are almost commonplace. Sigh.
What’s with the distraction? Well, I’m in the midst of the third or fourth dozen “What am I doing with my life?” phase, and cooking is thinking time for me.
Phew. I better snap out of this before one of these distracted moments requires a call to the fire department!
