Cooking Club

last night i had "cooking club". a bunch of girls get together once a month and we each cook something from a specific cookbook, eat it and then discuss the recipes. first of all i don't really like "groups of girls", secondly, i don't cook. but my friend mary tison asked me join and since i am not real social i decided it would be a good thing to do. and honestly it is sort of fun and everybody is nice to me even though i am a terrible cook. i think i am their "project" and they are trying to see if they can make a chef out of a mess in the kitchen.

well, last night it was my night to cook bread or soup. i chose to prepare "sweet potato biscuits". now michelle told me not to choose a bread, but did i listen to her wise counsel??? NO. i got home from work and took out the ingredients which i had amazingly purchased on monday (planning ahead...A+). i followed the directions explicitly. ok, i knew there was a problem when the dough was not firm but soupy. i thought there is no way that is going to produce a flaky biscuit type thing. i tried cooking them anyway. they turned out more like pancakes in thinkness and consistency. i have no clue what happened. but i loaded them up and took them anyway. i was a little afraid that i would get kicked out of cooking club or at the very least have to report to some sort of disciplinary board. but everyone just sort of laughed. because honestly if anybody is going to screw up they expect it to be me.
