Trifle

I should learn to read directions.

Ok, I should learn to read directions, better.

I made a lovely trifle, that did not look very lovely because the recipe said to finely chop 1/2 of a graham cracker. I finely chopped 1/2 of the total amount of graham crackers called for in the recipe, oops. I looked at the picture and the amount of finely chopped graham crackers in my bowl, it didn't look right, but I did not re-read the recipe, no I continued on.

I layered the entire trifle, including the finely chopped graham cracker on top, that is waaaay too much. So if you can picture an entire sleeve of graham crackers finely chopped and then dumped onto the top of the layers, it was not pretty, but it tasted pretty good.

This was my first ever trifle and other than my inability to read, I think that it went very well. I will of course have to repeat this recipe. (This is also why I make sure I have tried a recipe before I will ever make it at a show.) My husband waited a day or two before he actually was willing to eat it, and then he found out it tasted much better than it looked, but the truth of the matter is that a trifle is supposed to look good.

Tomorrow I am making a carbonara pizza recipe. As a side note, they new pring cookbooks and products become available as of March 1, so I will be trying some of those out as a preview.
