The Not So Brilliant Award.......

goes to Me!!! This is pretty much how it played out this evening. I'm cooking dinner....MMmmmm....broccoli Cheese soup. My recipe from Weight Watchers. I knock over the pencil sharpener that happens to be on the counter. It breaks so I decide to super glue it back together while my soup is simmering. Of course, I had to get the glue all over my fingers and it is now driving me crazy......is that why they call it crazy glue? It doesn't stop there. I go back to making my soup. I begin adding in the rest of the ingredients. It calls for cornstarch. No problem. Got that. Finish the soup. We all sit down to eat. I'm thinking boy this soup taste sweet. Must be the onions because nothing else could be sweet. Then it hits me. It wasn't cornstarch.....it was powdered sugar! We all just started laughing. What a stupid mistake. And you ask.....How could that happen? Don't you know how to read? The cornstarch box got wet sometime back and so I put it in a ziploc bag. When I was making cookies over the holidays, I put powdered sugar in a ziploc bag to shake the pecan balls. The bag must have gotten thrown into the cabinet instead of getting tossed. I then grabbed the wrong bag and presto.......Sweetened Broccoli Cheese Soup. Needless to say, it was gross and got tossed. I accept my award with great pleasure!
