Silly Nana!

Wow! Nana is funny. I would just like to share a funny story that happened this weekend. Yesterday for Sunday dinner, Nana made fried chicken and biscuits. As she got the biscuits out of the oven, she exclaims "What is wrong with these biscuits?!" The last few times she has made biscuits, they have been really dense; not fluffy like they should be. Nana thought she was loosing her touch with cooking. Not so. This morning, we decided to have breakfast burritos for breakfast. I got to work making the tortillas, but couldn't find any baking powder. Here is the conversation that followed:

Jenny: "Mom where is the baking powder?"
Nana: "Right there on the counter."
Papa: (As he walks past the counter.) "No it's not. This is corn starch."
Nana: "No, it's baking powder."
Papa: (Lifting up the can.) "No, it's corn starch."
Jenny: (Looking at the can.) "It's corn starch."
Nana: "Well that explains why my biscuits didn't turn out."

Ha ha! She had used corn starch in the biscuits instead of baking powder. It reminds me of the church video called Nora's Christmas. It's the one where the crazy old lady is making brownies for her neighbors and uses salt instead of sugar. Yum!

Silly Nana! Ü

(In Nana's defense, both the baking powder and corn starch were the same brand. She just read the brand and assumed it was the baking powder. I also thought "Clabber Girl" only made baking powder.)
