Sorry you had a bad kitchen day. I had a food flop also. It must've
been the moon phase. Made dough in the abm for Kaisers and prob.
forgot to add the yeast. The dough was a big, wet glop. Made a
second batch, cut in half this time, and was very careful - I got
decent dough that time 'round.

I swear if there is ANY interruption while adding ingreeds, I'm bound
to fail. There are days I can't even count to 3 when measuring out
the flour.
