Poll for all the people who cook

I love this story....

Oh, goodie!  Here's one I can play!  I was given a crockpot when I was about 19.  Decided to invite in-laws over for the first time, and gave the crockpot the job.  Recipe said put all ingredients in and turn it on, don't take off lid.  So that's what I did. 

It should have said, put everything for spaghetti into the crockpot EXCEPT THE NOODLES.  Can you say spaghetti mush?  It was awful!  I was mortified.  We all starved.

Not something i have done for weight loss but i bought  brisket having no real idea what to do with it got it cause we were tight on funds and it was on sale.  So i took it out read the directions and though humm sound easy righto did just like it said took it out and took one look at it with my hubs and MIL there and we were all like WTF did we do wrong it smelled so nasty and looked worse lets just say tight fund or not we ordered pizza that night.n  I have had many many misses over my 11 yrs of marriage in fact once i burned something so bad i had to throw the pan away but now a days i know more what i am doing and my crockpot is so my friend  so much so i have 2 of them love it.
now weight loss wise i have made some doozies and i am only 2 months out and still frigging learnign and stuck in this rut of same thign over and over and not knowing what i can eat and i don't see my nut/surgeon for another month nice guideance right. BLAH!

Ahh...the memories!  When I was about 20, I was sharing an apartment with a friend.  At Thanksgiving, her Mom wanted me to bring a turkey for the meal, so I bought one, cooked it and went to take it over.  She was horrified when she realized that not only did I not stuff it, but I never took anything out of it...cooked everything, bag and all.  Yeah, no turkey that Thanksgiving...she refused to serve it!  :(  Who knew???  lol

Ugh, the first time I made fried chicken, I epic failed! It was soo beautiful, brown, and crispy on the outside, and very rare on the inside.  Stuck it in the oven too long and it just came out dry and nasty :(

I also made some horrible enchiladas once, I'm not sure what happened and I can usually make some damn good enchiladas!

I'm not a good cook at all so I've had alot of bad experiences but the worst was probably the cottage cheese pancakes they were awful!!

Well, I am the granddaughter of a farmers wife, so I was expected to cook for the family at a young age.  The worst thing I think was the angel food cake.  I was about 10 and knew after a cake was done you remove it from the pan to frost and serve.  Gram had company coming and it was my job to take the cake out and prepare the glaze.  After about 15 minutes of trying to remove  the hot cake from the pan I had a 1 inch ring and a very upset Gram. LOL needless to say I learned real quick you invert an angel cake and let it cool before you remove it from the pan.

Before my surgury, I made a batch of turkey protein meatballs and froze them so that I'd have some protein ready to go when I got home.  When the time came, I couldn't even choke down one.  I added sauce and even some ricotta on top, but nothing would help the dry, little turkey bombs.

too many disasters to mention...


the first time i tried to cook a chicken in the microwave  big mistake. 
the first time i made thanksgiving dinner and had not learned how to plan so that all the food comes out at the same time... huge mistake....

This is such a fun post.  I am generally a good coo****il it comes to fish.  Real fishthat is, not Gordons or whoever.  The first time I cooked cod with my dad we deep fried it.  It was thawed but came out raw.  Since then I have a hard time cooking fi**** never comes out right, it's either raw or over cooked.
