Set phasers on kill...
Jan. 18th, 2010 08:15 pmHaving prepared the ingredients in advance, all I needed to do post-run was to fill the case of my spinach pie and shove it in the oven for half an hour while I took the trouble to have a shower. And while the filling and showering went well, the cooking went less well.
Emerging from the bathroom, I noticed a definite carbonaceous taint to the air and immediately went to go and check on the cooking. There I discovered that instead of setting the oven to 200 celcius, I had instead switched on the grill. Consequently, my pie was extremely well done on top — it was well and truly charred — while the bottom was somewhat undercooked. But once I'd scrapped off the worst of the charcoal, I was surprised by just how well — OK, how edible — it turned out to be.
