July 13-16, 2010.
If I had to describe this week with one word, it would be “miscommunication”. Nothing was ruined by this week’s lack of communication, but it did get annoying to constantly hear “You’re not doing that the way I told you to do it.” It was also kind of inconvenient when I realized I had made half as much brownie batter as I was supposed to, so I had to make more and waste valuable time. Important lesson #17: Following directions is hard when you don’t hear or understand the directions.
One interesting thing that happened this week was a visit from DHEC. It wasn’t actually interesting, though, because nothing really happened. The health inspector walked around and took notes, then it was over. We did really well. Important lesson #18: Health inspectors are boring.
Unfortunately, I didn’t quite break my habit of messing things up. I made violet cupcakes this week (which are awesome since they have my name and taste like flowers) and I forgot to fold whipped egg whites into the batter. They were still fine, so I don’t know what the point of putting in the egg whites is. I also finished making some cream cheese icing that was supposed to be completely smooth for a wedding cake, but I didn’t scrape the bottom of the bowl well enough and it ended up with lumps of cream cheese. Important lesson #19: ALWAYS SCRAPE THE BOTTOM AND SIDES OF THE BOWL!
In other news, I did something awesome this week. Normally when we make whoopie pies, they come out in all different shapes and sizes due to bad scooping skills, but I somehow managed to make absolutely perfect oatmeal whoopies this week. I think scooping all those cookies my first few weeks has paid off.
