But in order to get the cooking done....you need the supplies. Here's my partial stockpile:
Unfortunately, my first batch of Pumpkin Pie fudge was a FAIL. Luckily, it was my test batch.....since I have never made fudge before in my life. Not until I found Pumpkin Pie Fudge (this stuff is dangerous and could seriously become addicting). This batch never did get firm....it was a big sticky mess and yes I do know where I made my mistake. Oh well....there was still more fudge to make!
The next day.....I spent 4 hours in the kitchen and it was a SUCCESS (well at least part of it). I managed to make 3 batches of fudge and 3 batches of brownies for the staff. This fudge turned out amazing and I think that my brownies were just way too cute to eat!
But, all my hard work in the kitchen that day yielded another FAIL. I had been craving Mazita Pie lately (can't tell you why.....it's probably been at least 20 years since I've eaten it). So I made up a big batch of my special spaghetti sauce.
Layered all the ingredients. I did add some green onions to it.....cause we like onions.
And threw a little lettuce and cilantro on the top of it.
It tasted like one big soggy mess. We even invited Cris over to give it a try and he wasn't impressed either. So.......I guess I won't be serving this again!
I've had my Martha Stewart/Betty Crocker moment now.......I think I'll move on to some other things!
