For Mom's birthday, Mer and I cooked a fancy dinner. We
made Filletes de Pescado a la Veracruzana (Fish fillets braised
with tomatoes, capers, olives and herbs). We also made salad
and cornbread. I was in charge of the cornbread. We decided
to replace one half cup of the white flour with wheat flour.
Mer got all the ingredients out for me and started working
on the fish.
I started measuring out a 1/2 cup of wheat flour, and it
smelled DELICIOUS! I was like "Mmm! This smells great!
It smells like MUFFINS!" And Mer was like "mmm
hmm." then I inhaled more deeply and said "MMM!!
It smells like ROLLS!" and finally she glanced over
and realized I was measuing out the yeast, not the wheat
flour!! Oops! Good thing I didn't dump it in. That would
have been some GIANT cornbread. It turned out delicious.
It was also a special night because it was Mom's very first
Irish Car Bomb! Exciting!!
