Usually I am thankful for things that happen in our daily life...today I am grateful for what did NOT happen! This morning started out pretty normally, and I was preparing for my MOPS steering team to come over for a quick meeting. Since a gathering of women is not complete without food, I had planned to make a new recipe - Bubble Bread. All was going well, and I put it on the oven, anticipating how good this gooey bread treat would be.
As I finished up school with Faith, I noticed that it smelled a bit strange. So I look in the oven, and there was some smoke in there! I figured some of the butter, sugar mixture must have melted and leaked out of the angel food cake pan in which the bread was baking. Putting the pan on a baking sheet, I thought I had solved the problem. And in one sense I had, preventing more leaking to the bottom of the stove, but I didn't think about that which had already leaked! It continued to burn! Thankfully, I had enough sense tofinally turn off the oven and prevent further disaster!
So as my MOPS friends arrived, I did not have delicious Bubble Bread waiting for them, but a bit of a smokey scent lingering despite the open windows and candles! But, I was thankful that no fire actually started, and that I had bagels to serve my friends!
