A Father's Day Comedy of Errors

[figmo]

They loved the dinner despite the problems:

• I used garlic chives instead of garlic powder, and I put too much buttermilk into the biscuits, making them come out flat.
• The cauliflower needed 13 minutes to cook in the microwave.
• While melting chocolate for the lava cakes in the microwave, the bowl broke, along with 14oz of sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate. I ran out to the store and blew a wad on a similar bowl, only this one by Anchor Hocking, and on 14oz of sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate (that wasn't on sale...sigh).
• The lava cake recipe made way more than the ten it said it would. I don't know what they consider "muffin sized" tins. I used standard cupcake tins and wound up with eighteen of them. Luckily, Warren's father had two.

Standard muffins are about twice the size of standard cupcakes. (That's why most muffins you buy in the store are at least 2 servings, if you read the nutrition panel.)

Oh well... :) Glad you folks had a good time anyway.

Fortunately I discovered my daughter had used my smallest glass mixing bowl to rinse paint brushes in (and then allowed to dry) at a time when I didn't actually need to use it. She can keep it - I'm buying a new one.

Just deleted request for recipe, having gotten far enough back through the LJs that have accumulated since I last got onto Live Journal to see your previous post with the recipe. Thanks!
