inkstainsWell, I'm not technically late, it's still the weekend, but I was rather busy yesterday making little mini pumpkin pies. I will never do that again. I love making regular pumpkin pie, but the amount of time it took to put pie crust in 24 individual mini muffin cups was enough to make me tear my hair out. The made-from-scratch whipped cream was awesome, though.
And the secret to an even better pumpkin pie made with real pumpkin? Most recipes call for a can of evaporated milk, but I use sweetened condensed milk.
Anyone else cooking anything amazing, or tricky, or even horrible? Kitchen failures can be pretty amusing, once you're over the frustration. I've certainly had my fair share, in my quest to always try out new recipes!
Bonus writing prompt: something goes terribly, terribly wrong in the kitchen.
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend! And don't forget this week's contest!
