Hamburger on homemade bun with provolone, ketchup, sweet pineapple mustard, pickles and spinach.
Crispy chocolate chip ice cream sandwich
Apparently I am stressed out about the wedding and did not even realize it. Shane came over tonight so I wanted to make dinner for him. I decided on hamburgers, but did not want to just use regular bread, so I made homemade buns. I am not the most patient person when it comes to cooking. It is an unfortunate trait, but one that I have to come clean about. I did not wait long enough for the dough to rise, so the buns were very dense. I looked past that and pressed on towards the goal. When I moved on to the hamburger patties, I made them with egg, bread crumbs, milk and other spices. Our beef is incredibly lean, so they did not hold together well while I cooked them. Another unfortunate mishap. I was able to put the rest of the meal together with a smile and laugh off the mistakes. Shane was very gracious and ate what I gave him. After dinner I wanted to make some warm gooey chocolate chip cookies and some how I messed those up too! They ended up completely flat and crispy. At this point I fell apart and told my mom and Shane that I am a terrible cook and baker. Once I got past the self pity I realized that I probably messed up so many times because I am so distracted by thoughts of the wedding. I also realized that even when you make mistakes in cooking, you can almost always turn them into something else. And no one will no the difference, unless of course, you write it about it in a blog :) Until next time.
