Selective Memory
Selective Memory
How come I remembered that I was out of brown sugar twice in a row (meaning I have one more bag of brown sugar than I need), but I keep forgetting that I have no baking powder?
And why didn't I check that I had all the ingredients before I started making muffins?
Fortunately, I found this substitution. I hope it actually works okay. Though, again, I wonder why I happen to have Cream of Tartar -- something I don't think I've ever used.
Update: The substitution worked just fine. The muffins were properly puffy and edible.
At least you only remembered twice. For a while there, I had three back-up bottles of soy sauce. It's nice to know the substitution worked.
