It's been exactly two months since I made a big mistake....

On May 23rd I was in a bad mood and really shouldn't have been cooking. Everything I cooked was horrible and messed up in some way. I just wasn't up for making anything and I screwed up really badly.

I melted my husbands favorite plastic bowl!

I was trying to make a chocolate pie. I couldn't find my double boiler so I used the old fashioned method of slowly heating my chocolate in a bowl over a pot of boiling water. I wasn't paying attention and at one point all the water boiled out and my bowl touched the sides of the pot. It melted all over the place. The bowl was ruined and I felt really bad.

It was his favorite bowl!

My husband wasn't mad but he was disappointed. That was the bowl he used all the time. It was big and had a spout you could use to pour liquid mixtures. It was great for making pancakes. Sometimes my husband even ate cereal out of it even though it was too big to be a cereal bowl.

This Week I Finally Made Amends!!

It took a lot of searching to find a replacement bowl for my husband. I wanted to get him a red bowl with the pour spout. The original came from Walmart 6 years ago and they no longer had ones I liked. These shiny bowls came from Amazon and they are great. Now he has three bowls instead of just one! My husband loved them and was happy to have mixing bowls in the house again.

I promised never to use them as a double boiler!

I feel better now that I've got that mistake off my conscience.

Now if only I could fix that dent on the back of the car where I backed up into the rock wall in the back yard before my husband notices my conscience would be clear...
