The holidays are fun but inevitably things don't go quite according to plan. I thought I'd share some of those stories here and I encourage others to do the same...
So I spent a large part of Sunday and today baking cookies and making appetizers for tonight. Yesterday, I was making my chocolate chip cookie recipe which calls for melted browned butter. I browned the butter and poured it in a mixing bowl that I've had for probably 15 years. It's red and my favorite. I picked up the bowl and quickly ended up with hot butter streaming out of the bottom. The heat from the butter broke a hole in the bowl!
The funny thing is, I didn't realize what was happening right away. I was standing there in my kitchen wondering what that strange noise was before realizing I was getting melted butter all over the counter, the floor, and my slippers before I finally got the bowl into the sink.
Needless to say it took an extra hour to clean it all up, and it could still use another mopping but that will have to wait until the day after Christmas!
