I am a disaster in the kitchen! This morning I decided to make the smoky eggplant hummus dip. Heather didn't say to put the eggplants on a pan or in a baking dish (I know, this should be obvious!), so I just placed them on the oven rack. Big mistake! Halfway through the cooking time, juice is oozing out of them and dripping all over the floor of my oven. I had the sticky lemon bread ready to go in the oven next, but that was impossible with the burning, smoking disaster I had!!!! So thank goodness my neighbor was home and let me put the bread in her oven. Wait! That's not the end of the story. I bought a new food processor last night to mix the hummus dip up in. I spent more than I should have on it, but thought this one would be reliable. I got all the ingredients in it, pushed the buttons, and it wouldn't work. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I called the company and they advised me to return it to the store. After spending all morning preparing the ingredients (and a lot of money at the grocery store), I was furious! So there I go scraping the hummus ingredients out of the new appliance and trying to fit them into this tiny chopper I have. (Have you ever scraped tahini out of a bowl?) My oven is now locked for 4 hours on the self cleaning cycle. I'm definitely not Martha Stewart! HELP! Why does this always happen when I have guests coming?
