For The Birds

So I thought I would try and get ahead today. Our next couple of weeks are starting to look busy... we are hosting several dinners, I want to do some Christmas baking, and various other little things... Like today Jeff is teaching confirmation and I like to send something along for the kids to eat. So I baked up a double batch of Low-Fat Brownies. My Aunt mentioned that there was a lot of sugar in this recipe so I cut out 1/2 cup of sugar. I also used the egg yolks because I didn't have quite enough applesauce, and thought I still needed some liquid ingredients. They turned out quite yummy. Then I decided to make bread. I need communion bread for tomorrow and sunday, and I wanted to serve home-made rolls (something new I've tried only once before) on saturday. Well, the first time I made these dinner rolls they didn't quite rise the way I wanted them too, but they still tasted really good. Today they rose beautifully! I thought these are going to be so perfect! I preheated the oven to 350 (I think) and set the timer for 20 minutes (I think). I always set the timer because I tend to get distracted by the boys. Suddenly I smell something burning. There is 5 minutes left on the oven timer but I yank the bread out. The bottoms of both communion loaves and all my buns are burnt. AAarrrRRGGggHHhH!!!! Now I am grumpy. The tops taste good, but they are totally unservable. So I didn't really get ahead, and I have no motivation to start again right now. Perhaps the birds would like a nice treat.
