PEACH COBBLER DISASTER 2006

So yesterday at lunch I decided I would make a peach cobbler since my brother-in-law had so graciously given us some fresh peaches. I love to bake any kind of deserts so I got out all my great new cookbooks from our wedding and was all ready to find the best recipe. Did I choose the easy recipe that was actually in our church cookbook AND the one from my mother-in-law?? Oh no, I chose one that had a cool sugar glaze before you even put the flour mixture on top. It didn't look that difficult! And it wouldn't have been except several new mishaps happened in my kitchen yesterday. For starters I opened up the bag of flour and yes this is disgusting but there were bugs in my flour!! It wasn't even that old but I guess thats what I get! So after having to go get new flour I was once again ready to go. So for this glaze part I had to heat a whole stick of margarine and all this sugar to a boil. Easy huh? Well I don't think the recipe counted on me turning the burner on high and burning all the sugar before it even touched the margarine. So I had to pour all that out. Round 2 with the glaze I was more careful however in me being so careful I grabbed a big silver spoon to stir the pot with, well we have aluminum pots which means you can only use silicone type utensils. So now I had bits of the pan coating all in my glaze that I had to dig out......yes not my day in the kitchen! I finally did get it all together and shoved the thing in the oven. It was good but after all the mishaps I hate to admit it but I was mad at the cobbler and decided to punish it by only having a spoonful. But today I am not so mad so maybe I'll have a little more....
