Okay so I keep failing on this whole blogging thing. Sorry. I'm trying to be better :)

Story time!

The Lemon Bar Fiasco 

Once upon a time when my mother was out of town I decided I wanted to make lemon bars. 

A pro and con to living at home is just getting used to everything being in stock. Again this is a pro and con. 

Lesson to learn: Assumption is the kiss of death. 

So I pull out the stuff to make the crust get it all in the oven and it starts baking. Time to move on to the filling. 

We had some lemons that I was going to use but we've had them for a long time and how was I supposed to know if they are still good?! You can't really taste a lemon because hey they're already sour. So I cut the lemon open and see this green thing inside.  At first I thought it was a worm so I touched. Actually the seed and started to sprout inside of the lemon. 

I should have just turned back there. 

Well like I said how are you supposed to know if a lemon is sour?! So I decided to taste it. Guess what? 

It was sour. 

So I juiced it anyway and decided to put it in the freezer and let mom decided what to do with it when she got home. I pulled out the bottled lemon juice and kept working. 

Then I go to get the eggs. 

We're out of eggs. 

By this point it was 10 o'clock at night and I had no desire to run to the store. But then I noticed we had egg beaters. 

That'll work. 

So I get the filling all mixed together and I realize that it doesn't smell like lemons. I have made these enough to know that when you finish mixing the filling it should smell springy and lemony wonderful goodness. 

It didn't. 

So I stick my head in the bowl and oh my word that smell was the funk nast. So I try to figure out what the smell could have been. I start sniffing around the kitchen. 

It was the egg beaters. 

I about threw up the smell was so bad. And I don't get queasy that easily. 

So I had to toss the whole filling out. Luckily we can be grateful that I had not poured it into the pan yet. I would have cried. 

So I check in the freezer and find more egg beaters. Perfect! Now they are frozen solid and I wanted to finish them that night and not in the morning. So I decided to defrost the egg beaters my self. I put those bad boys in the sink with the water on high and let those puppies defrost. 

Bad. Idea. 

Do you know what happens when you put eggs under hot water? 

They cook. 

I went the pour at the eggs and they were chunky and cooked. 

Lesson to learn: let eggs defrost on their own. 

At this point I gave up and almost started crying. I had wasted so much food at this point. 

So I waited to 2 days and finally made it to the store and finished my lemon bars. 

My mom came home and claimed that she found eggs in the back of the fridge but I don't believe her. 

Lesson learned: Always check to make sure you have all ingredients needed and do not assume that Mom has everything stocked. 

The End.
