Chocolate Pots - NOT

I was going to title this Failure Friday and save it for a Friday posting but decided to post it today instead. It was a total failure. Some days are just not made to cook. This apparently was one of them. No matter how hard you try, everything you touch just goes wrong - terribly, terribly wrong. I wanted to lighten the recipe up a little because it called for a 1 1/2 c of heavy cream and I had some half and half hanging around - well that was mistake #1. They never set up properly. Mistake #2 was grabbing what I thought was chocolate extract but turned out to be cinnamon extract - quite a different thing when the other flavor is Chambord. BLEH! Needless to say this recipe was a waste of good chocolate overall. I will revisit this recipe again - hopefully when all the cooking planets and stars are properly aligned. I will use all heavy cream and make sure I grab the proper extract. So maybe I should call it Resurrection Wednesday? Renovation Wednesday? Maybe I have the day wrong -...

Mama Said There'd Be Days Like this...

Some days it's just best to quit while you are ahead and apparently today is one of them. Taking the cupcakes out of the oven...they slipped from my hand The aftermath Two saved from the other pan-don't look that good anyway I'm going to stay out of the kitchen for the rest of the day!
