Broken Glass

2005-12-25 00:10:12.394752+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Aaaugh! Okay, I can make puff pastry from scratch. I know the feel of hand-made pasta dough. I can, sometimes, find my way around a kitchen. But think "okay, we'll be really smart and show up at the party with something nobody expects from us, like a 'broken glass' Jellotm dessert with graham cracker crust" and all of a sudden... From thinking that "24-26 graham crackers" means, like, 24-26 graham crackers, to not getting that "1 packet of gelatin" means 1/4 oz, not a whole box, to just missing the sugar in the pineapple juice portion, I'm just freakin' unable to get this damned thing right.

Sigh. Glad it's a dessert, so the fact that I'm two hours behind schedule means maybe it'll actually harden like it's supposed to if we can drag out the party...
