Normally I'm made of win in the kitchen but this holiday season, not so much. So far every single recipe has had something go cranky with it. Two cookie recipes misbehaved - they taste fine, but look funky. The 3 loves of zucchini bread came out denser than expected. The peppermint bark 'just ain't right': the chocolate tastes a bit 'off', not bad, just not as chocolaty as it should be. So far the pumpkin-apple bread looks okay, but I'm waiting in dread.
I don't know if I want to tackle the rest of the baking list or just let it go this year. And I still have to finish little presents and wrap things.
Oy!
EDIT: Pumpkin-apple bread is 'too moist' on the bottom and sides. Damn! Probably nothing that a light dusting of powdered sugar or corn starch won't fix, but, come on!
