Potatoes: 1 Froggy: 0

Well. Just finished my second dinner.

Not so good. Not bad, mind you...but definitely not as happy with this one as I was with the first one. Most of it because of stupid mistakes on my part. Missed one thing on the recipe that might have made all the difference in the world. A baking DISH is different than a baking SHEET.

I used the dish instead of the sheet (could have sworn it said dish) so what I thought would be the easiest part of the dinner turned into the worse. Oven fried potatoes. Who but me could mess that up? And it's funny but I've cooked them before on the stove top and never had a problem. But I found a recipe that sounded really good (potatoes dipped in oil and lemon juice) and easy (just pop them into the oven). Maybe that was my mistake. Overestimating myself. Hmm...could be. Or maybe just trying too hard.

I also forgot the cooking spray. Made a list, put it on there, bought it at the store and even managed to bring it home. But forgot to use it. Did you know potatoes stick to aluminum foil? Yes, they sure do.

And because I used a dish instead of a sheet, the cooking time was altered. It said "twenty minutes" but they were so far from being done. I had to put the hamburgers aside so as not to burn while waiting for the potatoes.

They didn't taste TOO badly; just a little mushy in spots and hard in others. Next time, it'll be better.

Hey! But, surprising enough, the hamburgers turned out great! I didn't stuff them as I was going to originally but they were cooked evenly and were still juicy; even after sitting and waiting for the potatoes. Quite surprised. I used some steak sauce, some onion soup mix and swiss cheese and a few bacon bits for texture.

So, it wasn't a BAD meal but I expected better of myself with the potatoes. But then again, I didn't expect the hamburgers to go that well. I guess that balances out, right?

Anyway, thanks for joining me on this journey. Next time, I WILL win the battle over the potatoes!
