Almost afraid to ask - but what's the difference between "girl brownies"
and "boy brownies"? 😉

As I re-read the recipe and re-played the making, I realized I likely
would not have had this problem if I had put the flour in the batter.
And, no, I didn't miss it because it is a thin batter when it goes into
the pan.

LOL! At least you knew where the batter was. I lost some leftover chicken
this week, or was it last week?

Tomorrow morning I will deliver my baked entries to the Nice Ladies at
the Minnesota State Fair fairgrounds.

In theory, I will enter a chocolate Bundt? cake, an apple pie, a mixed
berry pie, girl brownies, white bread, boy brownies, PB cookies, CC
cookies, and fruit muffins.

I started with the chocolate cake first. It's an interesting recipe
(one year it placed second or third or something) and I decided to enter
it again. I mixed the batter and poured it carefully into my greased
and floured Bundt? pan. Oven on, pan in, at about 20 minutes it had
risen to the top of the pan. I did not open the oven. At about 24
minutes I looked again and it had fallen and was sort of boiling. At 35
minutes I opened the oven to let the smoke out and to empty the damned
pan (with stuck on baked chocolate batter) and put the remover stuff on
it to soak. I'm not wanting to scratch this pan, OK?

As I re-read the recipe and re-played the making, I realized I likely
would not have had this problem if I had put the flour in the batter.
And, no, I didn't miss it because it is a thin batter when it goes into
the pan.

A word to the wise.

It isn't wisdom that makes me do things like that. It's pure and
simple brain-rot. Oh,the kitchen mistake fun I have had!

Now, back to kneading the bread dough and making pie dough.

Perfect! Those take flour, too and I bet don't forget it, either.

It was so chilly here this morning, that I had to dig around and find
some sweats and fuzzy socks..

I'm thinking the boy brownies will be a variation on what I've usually
entered, as the Chocolate Cherry Amaretto Brownies were.

The Bundt pan cleaned up nicely and the cake is in the oven and it's
lookin' good. Jeez, what a twit.

Butter and Crisco are in fridge and freezer respectively for the pie
dough. When the dough's made, I'll make the apple filling. By the time
the pie's done the bread ought to be nearly ready for the oven.

Brownies late tonight (if I'm sober) and muffins early tomorrow morning.

We're going out this evening and I'll do some of the prep in advance so
I won't have to think too hard. . . .

Cookies may fall away. We'll see.

I once made a cheesecake in a hurry and managed to leave out the sugar.
I tried eating it in thin slices with a sweet topping, but even that
couldn't save it.

I hear ya. It was 56 when I woke up this morning.
Sure beats waking up to 76 and air conditioning. We got
wicked lightning storms last night, too.

You are SUCH an overachiever! How many jams/pickles did you enter this

Dang, that's frustrating. It happens when you have too much on your
mind. (I've made three batches of (bought) apricot jam this year and
every time I have forgotten to add the dried apricots (OK, once I just
couldn't find the pkg.)

As always, "choose Melba's" and blue ribbon vibes heading to the Nice
Ladies on your behalf.
