Measure Twice

"The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem."  Anon

It's a pretty sorry state of affairs when a person follows their own instructions and finds themselves at a loss.  That's what happened when I followed my recipe for Veggie Burger, posted on September 18.  It seems that when it comes to giving directions I'm about as adept as I am at following directions.  Let's not go there.

At any rate, in the ingredients for the veggie burger I listed 6 T ground flax seeds.  It should have read, 6 T flax seeds, ground.  This makes about 2/3 cups ground flax seed.  It should have also read 2 cups sunflower seed, ground, and not 2 cups ground sunflower seeds.  I've gone back and made the changes in the September 18 recipe for future generations.  Sorry about any inconvenience I may have caused.

But that isn't the end of my saga.  Once I figured out the glitch, and added the correct amount of ground flax seed and sunflower seeds, I formed the mixture into little patties and got them going in my dehydrator.  When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a bowl of carrot pulp that was supposed to be in the veggie burger mix.  I removed the little burgers from the dehydrator and dumped them into the bowl with the carrot pulp.  Mix, form, and back into the dehydrator.

That was my worst problem of the day, so I lived happily ever after.  I'm a pretty lucky person!
