My mom isn’t a wonderful cook…that’s no secret.  She gets teased often in our house because she will have a recipe and at the last minute decide to alter it, and ultimately ruin the food.

Last night she was cooking potato soup, and the recipe called for 1/3 cup of flour, and 3 cups of milk.  And my mom was doubling the recipe.  I guess she looked at the recipe card cross-eyed or something because she thought it said 3 cups of flour…and she doubled that.

So instead of 2/3 cups of flour, my mom put in 6 cups of flour.  6 cups of flour.

We seriously could have taken the soup and rolled it into balls, baked it, and made potato biscuits.

We ended up trashing the soup and making pasta and salad.
