[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 114419, member: 84"] Well, my older sis decided she wanted chocolate cake with choclate icing. My Mom always bought Jiffy cake mix and icing mix because it was good and cheap. It took 2 boxes of the cake mix to make one of those rectagular cake pans of cake. So my sis mixed up the 2 boxes of cake mix. Baked per directions. Then went to mix the icing, but couldn't find the box of icing. There was just another box of cake mix on the counter. She had used a box of cake mix + a box of icing mix to make the cake. Turned out to be the best darn brownies we ever had. [img]:rofl:[/img] Mom wanted to repeat this "successful" mistake. So she asks sis if she followed the directions for using two boxes of cake mix? Well, we never had them again. Sis couldn't remember HOW she did it, and Mom could never figure out which directions she'd used or if it was a combo of the 2 sets of directions. Every attempt Mom made turned out disgusting. [img]:rofl:[/img] The hardest thing I ever learned to make was white gravy. For years it either turned out runny like milk or stiff and thick like the mashed potatoes it was to cover. [img]:bag:[/img] Happy to say, I finally got the hang of it eventually. lol But in our family, one needs a knack for cooking. Most of the family recipes don't really have offical recipes with "measured" ingrediants. It's a "dash" of this or a "pinch" of that or a "lot" of this. [img]:rofl:[/img] Our recipes are almost all Hands On learning. [img]:wink:[/img] Which has frustrated both my girls to the extreme. [img]:rofl:[/img] [/QUOTE]
