Today's kitchen activities centered around three different Christmas treats I have never before experienced problems with: sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies and fudge.
The fudge didn't set. And I even used the thermometer the entire time. Failed.
The sugar cookies melted and expanded into one gigantic cookie in the oven, and were too crumbly of a consistency to even break apart to munch on. Failed.
The gingerbread angels actually maintained shape in the oven and did well, but the flours' pungent tastes overcame that of the ginger and spices that I normally love in gingerbread, and they are absolutely disgusting. I am not going to waste the time in even icing them later. Failure.
So 0 for 3, and a complete and utter waste of...how many hours? Four. So remind me again: why do I bother?
And also remind me NOT to do gluten-free again. Even though that doesn't matter with the fudge. I just won't eat any of the cookies next time.
...if there is a next time.

I've had those kinds of cooking disasters before...except for the gingerbread since I've never made it. Just hike up your bra straps and continue on. I have the worse luck with fudge...it never wants to set up for me. I know nothing about glueton free cooking so I can't offer any suggestions.....sorry. I have posted a comment on your introspection post also...so go read.
