My mind must be somewhere else. . .

. . .or I have completely lost it (the latter is more likely the case). Brett had an Elders Quorum activity tonight and was put in charge of deserts, so he asked me to make some brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I started with the brownies, measured everything perfectly, stirred the contents in the bowl, but the batter seemed too thick. I went over the recipe again and again, trying to figure out what was missing, but I know that I measured everything, so I picked up the bowl to pour the batter into the pan only to look down and see the oil sitting ever so nicely in the measuring cup. Can you even imagine how those brownies would have turned out? Even with remembering the oil they were a little bit different texture (probably from over mixing, trying to get the oil to mix into the almost complete batter was a challenge), but over all they tasted ok. I saved myself there. So as the brownies were cooking I started the Chocolate Chip Cookies. First off, I used a bowl that was way too small for the three times recipe that I made. I again got everything in the bowl and mixed up and started to scoop spoon fulls of batter onto the tray when I realized that I had forgotten the salt and baking soda. Honestly, can I really mess up two recipes in one hour? Somehow I caught myself once again before making 100 cookies! All in all, both recipes came out tasting good, and I don't think anyone would have ever know that my mind was definitely not there while I was making them. I thought that it was just a pregnancy thing where you are beyond forgetful, but I have found that it is probably going to be a life long thing for me. So for anyone who ever eats anything that I make, you might want to taste a nibble before you dig in. You never know what I might have forgotten!
Here is a picture of the finished product, the brownies and cookies that were almost a complete disaster.
