Bad Food

mcneondiner.jpgThere I was, dreaming of a guy I know, when my nap was interrupted by those dreaded words, “Ew! Don’t tell Mama.” So much for sleep.

My daughters had been cooking. Princess did her best to recreate the Cream of Wheat I fixed for breakfast. Three times. All in different saucepans. She swore she read and followed the directions; it just didn’t turn out right. Gothgrrl didn’t want to be left out, but she didn’t need no stinkin’ recipe. Her concoction was a nasty brew of peanut butter, marshmallows, cocoa mix, water, and God only knows what else. In my largest stewpot. Its so easy to screw up good food when you don’t know what you’re doing.

Orgasm or excellent marinara? See the photos, and decide whether the grimace is from a delicious piece of food, or from a porn star portraying an orgasm. They all looked like porn stars to me. (via Boingboing)

I just got an email from Bizzy. Her email address has "lemons-r-yellow" in it. Is she an idiot? You decide. Bizzy thought Confectioner's Sugar was just a brand name, so she didn't think it mattered and used granulated sugar to make icing. Turns out she was making this cake for an Independence Day party and had to check with a friend to find out if Independence Day was going to be on the 4th .... again .... this year. When she figured out something was wrong, she popped open a can of store bought frosting and hid the other stuff in the freezer where months later it was pulled out. People wondered what it was and how it got there, but Bizzy never fessed up. Mystery stuff in the freezer ...

Then there was the time my sister had a pot of potpourri simmering on the stove. Her husband was out with the guys and she got tired of waiting up for him. She turned off the pot and went to bed. About an hour later, in comes Dennis. He's drunk. He's got the munchies. He ladels himself up a big mug of "soup". Ha! His chin was stained pink for two weeks.

Cooking Terms -- Redefined

* Arab Coffee-Thick, black, bitter coffee, traditionally served in tiny cups at gunpoint, or found in graduate student's offices.
* Calorie-Basic measure of the amount of rationalization offered by the average individual prior to taking a second helping of a particular food.
* Frying Pan-Standard instrument of destruction for eggs, pancakes, and various vegetable matter. Remains may be removed from surface with diluted solution of sulfuric acid.
* Microwave Oven-Space-age kitchen appliance that uses the principle of radar to locate and immediately destroy any food placed within the cooking compartment.
* Oven-Compact home incinerator used for disposing of bulky pieces of meat and poultry.
* Preheat-To turn on the heat in an oven for a period of time before cooking a dish, so that the fingers may be burned when the food is put in, as well as when it is removed.
* Porridge-Thick oatmeal rarely found on American tables since children were granted the right to sue their parents. The name is an amalgamation of the words "Putrid," "Horrid," and "Sludge."
* Recipe-A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't own, to make a dish the dog won't eat.
* Tongue-A variety of meat, rarely served because it clearly crosses the line between a cut of beef and a piece of dead cow.

Loved the orgasm or porn star link. Funny stuff.

Those girls of yours could apply to be cooks on Big Brother...their concoctions have to be better than some of the slop the contestants are on. Yeah, I know, I bring Big Brother up every chance I get but don't worry, it's a summer thing okay, thru the middle of September. :)

Blogger won't let me comment. If this one goes through, consider it thanks for some hilarious liks. I cracked up at the cooking terms redefined. I'll catch up with you later as I have someplace very exciting to go. I think they call it North Dakota.

The Day The Culinary World Stood Still...then Ran Like Hell

I could send you a "roast" for next week, but it would have been better served this week, and the EPA and HAZMAT would have intercepted it, anyway...

What a coincedence! I posted about my infamous Harvey Wallbanger cake today ... you really should try it sometime. Especially the revised recipe!

Love that thought for the day. Wish I had thought of it a few years ago! :)

You got a new profile picture! I like it!

There's place down the road a piece from me, in Sedalia Missouri, that serves hamburgers slathered with peanut butter. The restaurant is called "Goober Burger".


I loved the definition of "recipe"! LOL!

Happy upcoming blogiversary!

Hope you and the junior chefs have a great weekend!

Yes, bitter coffee and graduate students...great pick up...I had a roomate who took up with a Middle Eastern boyfriend and
a) started to brew Turkish coffee, like sludge b) started belly dancing lessons. The apartment was awash in the clinking of teeny tiny cymbals c) after they broke up, the coffee continued for awhile but gradually, she went back to green tea. When a new guy came along, the belly dancing went away, thank goodness!

You're lucky that you dream. I just sleep. If I could dream it would be about cheesecake though.

I liked the...uh...orgasm...thing. (I also like marinara.)
