Cooking Myth Revealed!

Have you ever heard that liquid measuring cups are slightly different than dry measuring cups? So if you use a dry measure cup to measure out oil or something in a recipe it's not as accurate?.....WRONG!! They are exactly the same...I mean a cup is a cup....

The way I see it...and Sheriff Joe Arpaio didn't arrest me!

Nikki here... We have recently had a few inquiries asking about the idea of H2DFB.

The real reason we do it is there are plenty of "Perfect Models" for you to try and emulate such as: Martha Stewart, Rachel Ray, and Paula Dean. We think you need a couple of screw ups to help you get out of the mess you will inevitably get yourself into! You can count on us to have already screwing up a dinner party with some important guests... (your boss, your significant others boss, or your in-law's... I am not sure which is worse)! We hope you learn, share, and assist the next screw up! Life is much better when you can laugh it off!

Quick story: I was serving at a lunch at the Hyatt in Phoenix, AZ. (I was a newer banquet server). The managment gave me the table with the toughest Sheriff in the country! Sheriff  Joe Arpaio! *Next to him was a real pretty woman in an all white suit. I watched my every move, making sure I served from the LEFT and picked up from the RIGHT. Clearing the correct service pieces with each course! I thought I was in the clear with only the dessert left to serve... as I was pouring the coffee... I didn't pull the lever up to allow the liquid to pass through the spout...I kept tilting the thermos thinking "WHY WON"T THIS STUPID THING POURRRRRRR.... and splash! All the HOT coffee came rushing out hitting the mug and bouncing onto the ALL WHITE SUIT lady! She jumped up and I was already trying to pat her down with the only dusty rose napkin available! Let's just say she was courteous to me...and the Sheriff didn't take me to jail.
