Yes, technically the answer is 100 degrees. But in AtHomeDaddy Land, the answer might as well be, burned brownies.
I was trying to bake some brownies for The Boss Lady's birthday dinner. While I was feeding The Princess AND cooking The Talker's lunch. And two out of three ain't bad, right? I got the kids fed and down for nap. And then I noticed the smell.
Brownies burn very well in a convection oven. Especially if you accidentally add 100 degrees to the temperature setting on the oven. Dang, and I was being SO smart. I remembered to take off some bake time, since I was using the convection system.
If only I had read the directions closer. Or at all. Then The Boss Lady would have brownies tonight for her birthday dinner. Now I guess it'll be Ritz crackers with strawberry icing on top. Just like last year. That makes it a tradition, right?
Happy Birthday, Boss Lady. Hopefully the kitchen won't still stink when you get home.

ahh, nothing like the smell of burnt sugar to brighten up a day (unless it's the smell of burnt rice, which has somehow carbonized in a way that the molecules of the burnt rice meld with the molecules of the pan so that the pan can never be cleaned -- not that i know about this from personal experience or anything...)
Anyway, Happy Birthday to the Boss Lady! Just think, if she could have waited a few days you'd have been able to kill two birthday parties with one cake (or ritz cracker)!
