Okay - sometimes we just have to make fun of ourselves. I hope most of you got to read the article I sent out a couple of weeks ago declaring that momnesia does exist. I'm a prime example of it too! Yesterday Erin and I bonded over making some lemon poppyseed muffins. I found an easy recipe on the internet and I already had all the ingredients on hand(that never happens). So we're mixing away and I add the lemonade concentrate, or at least what I thought was lemondade concentrate. Looking at our finished dough product I began to think - this couldn't possibly be what it's supposed to look like. As I clumped what resembled cookie dough into muffin cups Erin and I looked at each other and thought, well we'll see what happens. It wasn't until I had to mix the remaining lemonade concentrate with sugar to pour over as a glaze that I realized, powder lemonade mix is not the same as lemonade concentrate. Oh how stupid I felt. At least Erin never even inquired about the muffins, cause they were a little on the chewy biscuit side. Thank goodness for short attention spans, and the bonding over the preparation!
Now, another mommy brain moment! I went to prepare my number one go to meal for taking a meal to a new mommy - stuffed shells, only to find that when I went to Sam's to buy the cottage cheese last week, I accidentally bought sour cream. Identical tubs, not identical products. - I read the tub several times to make sure this was really happening. Luckily Joe had a few minutes to run and grab me some cottage cheese and divert a major crisis. Now, I have 48 oz. of sour cream that goes bad in about a week. So I can either EBAY it and become rich, or I'll give it to the first person who thinks they can use it - any takers????

That's too funny - I think we've all had similar moments! Ask Mark about the time that I cooked shrimp & grits with the shrimp still in their shells... yummy!
