I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not perfect. Sometimes I end up with something that’s so FUBAR’d that it just ends up in the trash. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. And I hate wasting food, so it’s always a downer.

As much as I love being in the kitchen and making stuff, I find that this happens when I’m tired. If I’d rather be chilling on the sofa or not doing anything at all, it almost feels like I’m submitting to forcible cooking. Very bad mojo for the food, I’d say.

So it wasn’t a very productive weekend, food-wise… My pumpkin chocolate chip cookies were a disaster, melting all over the pan. They are barely edible, so they’re packed away in a jar til I get fed up and toss em. However, I blame the outcome of the toasted pumpkins seed squarely on Mother Nature. They look good, but they’re hollow inside. Blech.
