And then its ignominious end ... I have had a few disasters like that. Once I made some ginger cookies which spread so much in the oven that they became one giant ginger cookie the shape and size of the baking tray. But, again, it tasted fine!

I once made a chocolate mouse - I mean 'mess' - which stayed in the fridge for days. It never set and ended up being washed done the sink. Happy Easter and enjoy your holiday.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674648154579013578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74882821337502001.post-19134488745079389442016-03-27T01:30:55.226-07:002016-03-27T01:30:55.226-07:00I have been most remiss.
