The Lemon Cupcakes that Wouldn't Be
I went to the grocery store... I had everything - even the home-grown lemons from a friend's house. And, most of all, my tongue was all prepared to taste and devour a lemon cupcake. I was going to make the Magnolia cupcake recipe and fill it with homemade lemon curd, topped with lemon buttercream frosting. (Sounds good doesn't it???)I even made the mess - pulled all the pans out, recipes, whisks, spoons, etc. Yet, the day continued to be an "cosmos is off" kind of day for me.I measured my flour and came a bit short, so I opened my new bag of flour and dumped it in my flour container and finished off the measurement. Then, I turned to melt my butter in the microwave. By now there is quite a mess with flour on the counter, and butter wrappers laying around. And when I turn back to my flour bowl, I see bugs crawling on my counter. I freaked and started killing them. But I couldn't figure out where they came from. I finally discovered they were in my brand spanking new bag of flour! So, I cleaned everything up, dumped the new flour, sealed it up and put it in the garage, and cleaned up my mess.
Of course, I don't have any other bags of flour laying around and it's 10pm at night. So, no lemon curd filled cupcakes for me... or you... Instead, I just have a mess in the kitchen sink and nothing to show for it except this blog and a bag of buggy flour in the garage.
