Oh thank you for this one! I had a tooth pulled and I am forgetting about the pain. I think I can relate to this one! It is so funny. I haven't done this lately. Thank you for making everyone smile. Good luck in the contest, Shirley

Shirley,
I am terrified of a dentist so I can sympathize immensely...Glad I could help. Carol
Comment from dmjones
Too funny. But she had to be a real ditz at cooking to not realize the oven wasn't hot. This is really good piece of flash fiction and made me laugh. No SPAG that I saw. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from almajac
This is GREAT!
The piece flows well.
It is funny.
The dialogue is true-to-life.
My favorite line-
Staring at the oven, I shook my head. "Oops!"

Not Betty Crocker, There is no way you could fail. The recipe for your cake sounds great. But I don't care what
we make for our husband's or other's. It will never measure up to Mom's. LOL
My sister is a pastry chef and I still think that I can
compete with her. On Thanksgiven, I wanted to try a new recipe (dessert) called Yam a Loaf. I was of my dish that
I sat it next to my sister's double chocolet chip brownies. I did reveal my dish until everyone was seated. Mom came into the kitchen and whipped my yams into a batter. Poured it into a shell and baked it over. I went to
do my presentation and before I could say a word, My sister
said Mom made you dish better. LOL

Comment from Halfree
It was so well written and funny that six was the only logical choice. I thought that somehow there would be a big screw-up. Kept waiting..wondering. Then the oven thing..you got me and I liked it. Very, very well done. To give it anything other than a six would be half-baked decision.

any similarities ends there - end
Carol, You have my hysterical for two reasons. First, this is about how well I cook/bake. Second, I used to give a how to essay assignment to kids. I told them they had to include absolutely every step, and you have no idea how many times I called kids on failing to tell me to turn the damn oven on. LOL What a fun story that goes perfectly with the contest's opening line :-) Brooke

Susan,
At the ripe old age of eight I burned the dinner. My family loves to embellish over the years about that night...However, since I have owned a successful catering business for fifteen years..you know who is expected to cook all the family dinners...That's right...no questions asked...Mom will cook.
Smiles, Carol

OH dear!! And you were so little! Did you get another chance? When I was that age, I started to use the salt shaker, and the lid fell off, causing my food to be completely covered in salt. Til the day she got Alzeimers and could not remember, my Mom thought I threw that lid away, and I swear I didn't...but she would bring it up once in a while. I don't know. I hope you get breaks from cooking once in a while? Especially Mother's day, and holidays? And just last night, I put some blueberry muffins in the oven, and I thought of your story, and double checked the oven to make sure I had it on!!! So, this is the joy of writing, I smiled thinking of your story!! I love it!! Hugs Carol!! Susan
