Now that I think about it, I might have done this once before.
I decided to make a cornbread this evening, and thought I would save on dishes by mixing the liquid ingredients first, then adding the dry ingredients to them. I figured I might have to break up some lumps and mix it a little more. Instead what happened was that the dough came out really runny and never cooked all the way. It was close to burning on the top, so I took it out and it was still running liquid in the center. Not just soft. So, of course, I ate the center, with a cup of tea alongside, and called it pudding; it was delicious, actually, though now I feel a little sick because it was so sweet. I think the only other change I made was twice as much honey as usual, and I could swear I did that when I made it at Eor's sister's house at Christmas, too.
I guess method is important.
File under: I make these mistakes so you don't have to.
In other news - it was a holiday, so I got to work uninterupted. :) I talked with people a lot and got feedback about their problems with the training website, and made books for them to practice from in order to get ready for the upcoming testing, and it really felt productive. Sometimes I wish all the bigwigs could have their offices in a different building. The only drawback was that the secretary and the back-up keyholding office guy were both gone so we couldn't get into the cabinet to get out tissues in order to blow our noses.
