Every time I cook #Thanksgiving dinner I make notes to myself for next time. This year's list begins with "Don't try to get a head start on the cooking before having any caffeine. This was how you found yourself standing over the pumpkin pie bowl holding an open jar of garlic powder instead of ginger, cursing yourself and the alphabet."
@semidetached I am reminded of my late-grandmother’s anecdote about preparing a fried chicken dinner for an officer’s club during the war, and confusing powdered sugar with the flour.
Caffeine before all things!! ☺️
