oh noes

I made a peach-raspberry pie tonight. For some reason, the pie-making urge overcame me at about 8 pm.

So, round about 10:30 the pie was reasonably cool and ready to be tasted.

It was SALTY.

Now, the recipe did call for a little salt in the filling. It seems I mismeasured this by several orders of magnitude. Even sprinkling a bunch more sugar on top could not produce a condition of edibility.

*weeps*

I mourn the loss of your pie.

It's positively tragic!

Oh, no! Pie-tastrophe! (Have you accidentally filled the sugar canister with salt? I have done this before.)

I actually checked, and it was sugar. I think the problem was Catastrophic Measurement Fail.

Well, that and my baking-related curse. I'm a good cook, but disasters tend to happen when I try baking.

Oh dear - that's such a pity!

I remember once somehow dropping an uncooked cake on the way to the oven, hell of a mess to clear up!

You can sympathize with Jo March.

Ouch. At least I was able to just tip the fail!pie into the bin.
