Ceramic on ceramic is not very forgiving. Five of the dishes broke, two only dumped the contents among the mess of shards, and quiche, and one remained safe and sound. But it all worked out, there were three left over, I gave them to a gentleman who has celiac disease, and he was so appreciative because they are gluten free. His wife asked me for the recipe.
I think that when I do them again in such numbers, I will use foil cups.
Next on the agenda for the building is a Valentine's Day tea with food that goes totally against my idea of sandwiches. I am making cucumber and watercress sandwiches. Disgusting white bread with crusts cut off. Give me a Reuben on great dark bread any time!
However, apparently other people like them. It will be a learning experience for me. We all need to step out of our comfort zone sometimes, right??
Sorry to hear the disaster happened in the kitchen Lore!
Luckily it all turned out ok!
The water cress sandwiches remind me, when brother and I would go across the street to visit Aunt Lena, and Mom and dad would play cards. They would take a break, and Lena would put out cold cuts and bread etc.
We would all sit to eat, and brother and I would make lettuce only sandwitches with mayo or mustard. Well the truth was, that the lunch meats were ham with all fat, or salami with chunks of fat. That was a turn off.
Lena would say,"Come On Kids, load some meat on those sandwiches!"
Sometimes, she would fork a few slices and try and shove that on our sandwich!" .... Mom would give us the eye's <!> <!> , and that was the clue to shut up, and eat it!" ......
In the future, brother and I would shudder when Mom would say,"We are going to Lena's Tonight to play cards!" .... Gr r r r r r r!....
