Aaaargh.
I was feeling like such the model mom a few moments ago.
(That’s when you need to watch out, I think!!)
My daughter and I had just baked a yummy pan of lemon cheesecake bars and slipped them into the oven. Then she settled down for a sweet nap. My wonderful cleaning ladies were transforming my home in to an oasis (Okay—well as much as it can be. I t certainly feels like one when they are here to me… and for a few hours after that.)
The kitchen was filled with a beautiful lemony scent and I knew all of my children would really enjoy the surprise of such a yummy after-school treat. Plus, my husband loves lemon bars, so he would be happy, too.
Then the timer went off.
And I took the pan out of the oven.
And the bottom hit a burner as I lovingly placed the pan on the stove to cool.
And then the entire pan spilled out onto my freshly-cleaned stove.
(Yes, it was clean. But that also means that there was probably some sort of cleaner residue. I know what you are thinking. I thought it, too.)
So, no lemon bars for a treat today.
At least my very kind cleaning ladies insisted I NOT clean up the mess. (This after we took spoons to the mess for a sample. I WILL be making this recipe again.)
After they laughed when I took pictures off the carnage, I showed them my failed Blueberry Loaf attempt. Since then I’ve made many delicious (and pretty) ones.
I think I’ll try again the next time they are here and make two pans… and send them home with one!
Until then, I am cheesecake lemon bar-less.
Hmmm. Maybe this could be a good for the scale.
Uuuugh.
