So yesterday I decided to be a wonderful mother and bake a wonderful and delicious homemade cake.\u00a0 I found a great recipe…..Praline Turtle Cake…I know my kids don’t like pralines..so I figure I would just omit the pralines….<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The recipe called for sweetened condensed milk…well, I didn’t have any..but I think no problem..I have a recipe for a “substitute”\u00a0 for sweetened condensed milk…which calls for instant dry milk. So, I get out my instant dry milk and whip it up…..I had to melt the “sweetened condensed milk”, butter and brown sugar in a pot……no problem..though I do notice a strange smell….<\/p>\n

Then I proceed to make the actual batter..which smells and looks delicious.\u00a0 River is eager to help me out.\u00a0 I do notice that many many dishes are getting dirty..but I know it will be worth it when my children see this wonderful cake that I made for them…<\/p>\n

The next thing is to pour the batter into the cake pans, on top of the melted carmelized goo….interesting…….so, that is what I do and pop it into the oven….umm..still a strange little smell…..<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, in a few minutes I start to notice a smell…. and I mean a horrid smell…..a smell liked burned milk that has gone bad….a long time ago…..so I walk into the kitchen and it is filling with smoke…..(believe me, I tried to get photos, but they just didn’t turn out!)…well, the cake is bubbling over…all over the oven..and is smoking and smoking and carmelizing and smelling..but I must finish this cake..so I have to keep the oven on until the cake is done!\u00a0 I just keep thinking how happy my children will be when they see this delicious cake……<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, the timer goes off and the cake is done….. it’s not pretty!\u00a0 And the smell is horrid….At this point, I’m getting worried that something went horribly wrong…..of course by now, I have had to open every window in the house and I’m trying to fan all the smoke detectors!\u00a0 The recipe says to wait ten minutes and then get the cakes out of the pans..(Yes, I am still holding out for hope!)\u00a0 So, I wait the ten minutes and then take the dumb things out of their pans…and if the smell wasn’t bad already…it now hits me in the face like a piece of wet bologna (and I’m a vegetarian)!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay.. so the cake ended up in the sink..along with all the dirty dishes….I then turned to the box of nonfat instant dry milk…..I mean, I didn’t know it could go bad…….the expiration date….1993!!!!<\/p>\n
