I had to give a demo in cooking class on how to make a cake with altitude adjustments.
Things were going okay until I had to cream together the sugar and butter with the hand mixer.
(Which is pretty much the first step)
The first speed on the mixer was more like turbo so butter and sugar flew in every direction.
The people in the front row had a similar reaction to the front row people at Sea World, minus the happiness.
Sugar dusted the floor and counters, butter chunks found a new home in students' textbooks.
Everyone laughed.(except for the front row)
The teacher calmed the class down and I was embarrassed.
How was I suppose to mix in the eggs and buttermilk with my possessed hand mixer?
I went for it. A boy in my class took cover.
Everyone laughed again, at this point I wasn't seeing the humor.
Somehow I was able to finish the cake without any other disasters and it ended up tasting really good.
During my demo I felt a little like a clumsy Lucy.
This experience reminded me that I need to relax and not be so uptight about doing something right.
Sometimes mistakes can be funny. Life goes on.
hahah when i did my demo for that class on cleaning products I told the class to mix vinegar and lemon juice, but i accidently grabbed the vinegar. I essentially created a small volcano in front of the class. Im sure you did great! And im sure Sis Empey loved it.
