Just thought I'd take a chance on a second blog. My first one, http://idahoironrodbeagles.blogspot.com served it's only purpose. That was to sell an unexpected litter of beautiful beagle pups last spring. It worked. It was fun. Gave me something to do.
So what about the title of this blog you ask? Seriously, have you NEVER burned anything you were cooking or baking? Happens to everyone, I'm sure. What I hate the most about that is the stink (c'mon, you know it smells up the house, your hair, your clothes!) AND the mess! But maybe even worse than that is the sense of defeat that comes from burning dinner or dessert. Here I planned something, got all the ingredients out, mixed it up, set the oven temp and timer. And just like that, it doesn't turn out the way I expected! And who wants to eat something that is totally crispified? Yech...but life's kinda like that, isn't it?
'Cept we can't really just "throw it out", right? You have to hang around until the "stink" goes away, the oven cools off and the pan soaks...for three days! So in the midst of our missteps, misjudgments, misunderstandings maybe we can find something in the burnt offerings of our lives still worthy to place on the alter. Still good enough to be accepted as an offering. Probably will need to do a little scraping off of the burned portions though, like toast.
