A page from Betty Crocker Cookbook

Recently, during the session in my chair, the last of my breakfast of coffee, a thought in my mind staggers. I must confess that the majority of thoughts are very solitary, as soon as they enter my mind, this one a irritating, but it had.

Experience has taught me that never should be on this curious trespassers. Every time if I'm one of them, I burned the first.

This time was different. I wonder how it was different, or like me, who knew, was not only different. Of course, in hindsight could be wrong.

The idea: why not bake a cake my wife from her surprise?

I know what you think. I thought the same, if this proposed to me. But the more I read about it more delightfully delicious sound thought. As something wrong, if I am, so my wife can go?

I was the only problem I have, you need to answer that type of cakes should bake.

After a long period of ruminants I solved the sponge on a lemon cake with peanut butter, icing on the cake. This would be the best surprise that my wife has received from me.

Sitting in an important place in the kitchen is my wife Betty Crocker Cookbook. I don't know, how long has this book, is in our kitchen, how can I-remember that really cannot be long, if I come to think.

I got the book, was sitting in my favorite armchair and open. Reading like a cookbook? As scrolled, it will not have no rhyme or reason for me. Is in the book, I said to myself, because as important to follow directions?

If on the back of the book is included in his honourable place I that as this was my cake, need help from someone else, especially Betty Crocker. This is the difference between men and women. Women need in many directions, while men have the freedom to make their own.

I knew exactly what I wanted. A pan of Spain lemon, peanut butter, icing on the cake. What could be easier?

Recovery of a large bowl, I installed all the ingredients of which I needed; Flour, sugar, eggs, milk and baking powder. Everyone knows that can cook without baking powder doesn't.

I have no idea what is baking soda, except if you use baking baking powder.

I have everything in the bowl. The only thing was that it was not safe enough, but how difficult the anyway? Betty Crocker mentions a cup and a cup that never defined what they meant with a Cup.

I went to the closet and considered the cups. There were all types and sizes of Cup and did not know that you are using. I have a large coffee cup eyes and I said, this will do well.

I dumped 6 or 8 cups flour into a mixing bowl, can't remember how. Then broke a dozen eggs and put in the bowl and mixing. A litre of milk pouring, mixing bowl are all whipped in a lovely batter.

This was a lemon sponge cake, but could not lemon in the closet for marked. I opened the refrigerator and as luck would have it, I found a lemonade quart.

In the larger pan that I could find I cast this BREW. When I was about to it in the oven, I remembered the baking powder. How is this bake cake if you have not the baking soda?

Setting Pie Tin, I grabbed the yeast and sprinkled liberally on my dough. I have no idea what is baking soda, but I have enough on my cake, so that he would do a good job.

The temperature was baked cake and I was with a wrist shot up to 450 degrees. Remember that this was a great cake, set the temperatures at 650.

Biggest cake of hot stove, is what I always say.

Now all I had to do was wait to bake my cake. As I waited, I heard rumbling out of the oven is approaching but contacted only up to a good cake bake it.

I think I fell asleep, because the next thing I knew it was a strange smell permeates the air. It smelled smoky something and then I realized. Going on my cake.

What I have not pulled out of the oven no match of cake I'd ever seen. Seemed like a pancake burnt, twice the size of the Pie Tin with a kind of disease on the surface.

No amount of peanut butter frosting to the world could conceal this disaster.

It was at this time that I started the idea of reading directions by looking at the social. Maybe the instructions finally have a purpose.

I remember something that said Paul Apostles. "Study shows thyself approved unto God, a workman, not to shame the poor, who rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2: 15 KJV).

To live without getting burned directly requires directions right.
