Burning...

Well...I have not had a good last two days in the case of "the stove". Yesterday there was a fire and today I burned a pot of beans. That is what I get for telling my mom about my friend Angie and her "incident" a while back. I had the beans on the stove cooking, went up to my neighbors to see if they had some cream style corn to put in our Mexican Cornbread...on my way back into our house I slipped on some ice that I thought I was stepping over...I fell down and hurt my back. I thought the beans had plenty of water so I went to the bedroom to lie down. Josh was out in the living room with Emma. All of a sudden he started saying something was burning...I couldn't smell it...yet. Oh boy was it burning...our house smells like a "burnt fire" if that is even possible. We have a nice combination of smells going on. Needless to say...we ended up eating left overs tonight because it was way too late in the day to start another pot of beans. Maybe we'll have beans and cornbread another day this week. It is such great comfort food in this cold, cold weather. On another note, I did make a delicious dessert tonight that I got from one of my favorite blogs ever - http://bakerella.blogspot.com/ - she has the neatest and cutest ideas. I made the Walnut Blondie with Maple Butter Sauce. If I may say so myself it was quite delicious and it looked pretty nice and "professional" all dished up!! :)
