Follow Instructions Carefully...And When All Else Fails, Have Fun!
Oh Saturday started off to be a busy day. I was getting ready for my first book signing. Did I have everything I needed? Clean white blouse to wear (sort of a signature item for me), plenty of Laurie Bakke's Cookbooks to sign, ingredients for Pimento Cheese with Honey Wheat Pita Chips and The Outrageous Brownies etc. etc. Check on everything!
I started the day early...which turned out to be a good thing. Erica Allison arrived to pick up a book to ship out to a new retailer (details on that one to come soon!) and while she was there, shot some pictures of the process. I begin making the batch of brownies and put them into the oven and quickly went on to the Pimento Cheese. So far, not a problem. Checking on the brownies, I noticed they were not cooking right. I keep watching and then realized I had made a mistake (they happen to everyone). I had not let the chocolate mixture cool properly before adding the dry ingredients. This is very important with hot chocolate. Always read your instructions very carefully!!!
