my domestic skills..or lack there of

how i managed to burn a cake TWICE is beyond my understanding capabilities..

i bought a betty crocker vanilla pound cake mix..added 2 eggs, water and oil..stirred vigorously until the batter was moistened..then i greased the pan, put the batter in the pan and put it in the oven at 350F..

30mins later, i checked the cake (the box said it would take 35-38 mins)..but when i opened the oven, the top layer was burnt!! how???

i compensated for this problem by covering it with chocolate chips..i wanted the chips to melt so i stuck it back in the oven for 2 mins..then when i took it out, the chips were burnt..gahhhh

while my cake was baking..i decided to wash my winter scarves and mitts and hats..i put everything in the washer and dryer..then when i took them out..everything had pink and black fluff on it..

oh sigh..god really does not want me to be a domestic person
