What I learned this week is hosted by Jo-Lynn at Musings of a Housewife
Last week I jumped on this blog carnival to post about some Simple Pleasures...
I had heard a bit on the radio that radio about how the tiniest of things can make your day and wanted to share some of mine. I loved that part of my post. However, after having a SNAFU in the kitchen the night before I added 1 sentence to the beginning of my post without even considering the repercussions of what I was saying.

However, after having a SNAFU in the kitchen the night before I added 1 sentence to the beginning of my post without even considering the repercussions of what I was saying.
To back peddle...Let me just say I am NO COOK, I stink...I have to follow recipes pretty much to the "T" or the dinner has NO chance of being edible. I followed this recipe and though I did double the recipe I did not double the salt because at the time it called for 1/4 cup. The soup was too salty and my whole family laughed at me all night long.
We had salt soup.
We plan to eat this soup again tonight cutting the salt to the normal amount and we know it is going to be wonderful. We know this because under the salt we all said the soup would be great without it.
That said, I inadvertently posted that sentence with NO background information and linked to the recipe and then went on to post my simple pleasures. The Recipe came from a WONDERFUL blog that I had TOTALLY forgotten was dubbed "simple pleasures" - OMG - I am such a HEAL.
I meant no harm, I meant no disrespect and I am TRULY VERY SORRY JEN! I love your blog and though it may be hard to believe right now I would never do anything so heartless on purpose.
SO...I learned a BIG BLOGGY LESSON last week...and I will never again hastily post and link before really thinking it through...and you can all call me out if I ever do!

oo so sorry you hurt someone's feelings! I know you wouldn't have meant to do that on purpose! It takes a big person to public apologize! Also a good lesson to learn!
Apologies go a long way so I hope all is forgiven. You are a thoughtful person and I know you did not mean to hurt someone's feelings on purpose.
That is totally something I would do... thanks for the reminder to think before I hit publish. Oh, and I attempted to comment earlier but the stupid Google thing wouldn't take my password for some reason. The URL option makes it much easier to comment for us Wordpress folks... just a thought. I actually had to create a google account, again... not sure why it won't store the info. I'm not usually inclined to do that, so just thought I'd let you know it might be hindering some folks from commenting. Technology, arghh...
I can imagine how you felt. I hate when I say something that I REALLY wish I hadn't.
The soup will be wonderful now that you have found the solution.
How funny! I see how Jen made the correction and thanked you. :) It will make me think twice about when I post a recipe!!!
It's very sweet that you wrote an apology like this. It's hard to hear someone's tone over email/blog/twitter, so people's feelings can easily get hurt, and we may not even realize it. It takes a big woman to admit it. Go you!
Terra, those of us who know you know you would never hurt someone on purpose. The soup sounds delicious and I loved your simple pleasures post!
I hope now all is happy and sorted with the apology and the recipe looks lovely.
:) Great post, Terra!
All is forgiven and it's a good lesson to us all!
I AM NOT A GOOD COOK EITHER AND I WOULD HAVE PUT IN A POUND OF SALT!!!
Oh...people are forgiving.
I should know- I need forgiveness ALL the time!
Hugs~
