How I know I have time management issues: I decided to make a double batch of scotcharoos today between making a double batch of beer bread and a double batch of chocolate-and-peanut-butter-chip scones.
How I know I've learned from past time management mistakes: I at least started trying to melt the butterscotch mini-chips when the beer bread dough was in its first proofing stage, rather than after I had measured out all of the other scotcharoo ingredients. It didn't save me from getting out of work late, but it was a better result than it might have been.
Note to self: Find out of there's faster melting butterscotch chips on the market; two hours on a double boiler may not have been long enough for these fuckers, but it was more than long enough for me!
