scratch that

Lastest fails from the Scratch Kitchen:

• Canned peas. I neurotically canned ahead peas (and pearsauce and sweet potato) for our trip to Ohio last week (because apparently the Earth's Best peas just wouldn't do!) only to have the peas ferment, push off the sealed lids, and ooze all into a box of food stuffs I had packed in preparation for the trip. The hubby actually ended up dealing with the fall out on this one as I was enjoying a day off to take a wine class. Whooops!!!
  
• Flaxseeds. After day one of trying flaxseeds this week I noticed G had a slight rash on his chest. Did it occur to me that it could be a food allergy? Nope. I proceeded to give him the flaxseeds two more times. The purpley-red, nasty bumps all over his chest last night finally clued me in. We'll be holding off on them for a few weeks.
  
• Tahini. Photographic evidence below. G hated the taste (Q actually enjoyed it), but loved it as a styling product/facial mask. So I guess that one wasn't a complete fail?

Bon appetite, babies!
