Baking Bloopers

Today we are deviating from our regular pictures of cute kids because well, sometimes you just have to laugh and make fun of your own mistakes.  Yesterday Jeff was too kind and offered to take the kids outside while I cooked supper in peace and quiet.  I took him up on his offer because I was going to try once again to make homemade tortillas.  You know, shave a little bit more off the ol' grocery bill.  I've tried them before, and they've not turned out, but hey, I'm not a quitter, so I decided I would try again and this time they would be perfect!  All the pictures on pinterest show lovely tortillas that are just a breeze to make.  Yeah, you can see where this is going.

An hour and a half later I served supper, pretty much exhausted, okay not really, but it took so long- with the kitchen looking like a flour hurricane went through it.  It smelled like burnt flour and still had raw dough stuck to wax paper that refused to come off.  A disaster!!!  I hold all tortilla makers in high regard now because I am throwing in the towel!  Tortilla making is not for me.  Oh and since some of them turned out a little towards the end, I decided I would have one with butter and honey before bed.  So I heated it up but by the time I put my butter and honey on it, it was like trying to chew hard...something not quite as tough as leather.  :)

The "Peekaboo, I see through you," tortilla.

The "What shape is this?," tortilla.

The "I give up on you," tortilla.

And finally, the "I'm trying to be like Oklahoma", tortilla. 

There you have it!  Baking Bloopers, episode 1!  We will be back to our regularly scheduled blog posting of cute kids soon!
