There are two types of people who ride motor- cycles, those who have put their bike down and those who are going to. Regrettable, I think there is a similar saying for people who do some serious cooking. There are those who have mixed up sugar and salt and those who are going to.
Now, if you have never done this, do not worry. Mark my words, you will.
My story starts like so many others. Making scones. Somehow I got myself roped into making the scones for a tea party themed bridal shower. Very macho, I know. The worst part is that I missed out on some beer and bowling with the guys to do it. We all know that bowling alleys have some of the best pizza out there too. That was something you know I wanted to be a part of. But, alas, I am such a good boyfriend.
It was well after midnight when the mix up occurred. I was on the fifth … sixth round, maybe. Who knows? Hey, it happens. Especially when you consider that coarse kosher salt, my salt of choice, is very similar in texture to sugar. You get going to fast. You start not paying attention. Live and learn.
In my tired state, I decided to bake them. Who knows, maybe it won’t be that bad. Well, it was that bad. Maybe worse. 1/3 cup of salt is too much for most things.
What a shame. I was trying out Girl Scout Tagalong scones. I was thinking they could have been good. The only saving grace was that I was making that batch to take to work. Oh well, Maybe next time I will try PBandJ scones.
