Just before, I had all the leafy bits of a celery left over, so I juiced it with some water, than I added the leftover greek yoghurt, lots of cinnamon and two ripe bananas... the first sip tasted okay, not great when I first had it in my mouth, then the after taste was foul... I don't often waste food, but I spat it out. I will have to figure out what to do with left over celery leafs.0

I was making a batch of cinnamon-caramel popcorn, which required melting the caramel ingredients in the microwave. I used my regular kitchenaid plastic bowl like I had used many times prior... only this time, when I took it out of the microwave, the entire bottom of the bowl fell through and spilled boiling hot caramel everywhere! thankfully, I jumped out of the way and was not burned.
lesson learned: always heat things in the microwave using GLASS bowls.0 -
From my facebook page "So, I brought the ingredients for vegetable/chicken soup a week ago, and I still haven't made it! The celery looks like its seen better days. What a dork!
I had a bad cooking experience with it last year which has put me off making/eating it, hopefully not forever. Basically, I couldn't be bothered making soup, so I kept putting it off. Eventually, I cut up the celery, onion, carrots and cabbage and put them in the pot. I couldn't be bothered cooking them, so I left them in the fridge for a day or two, then cooked it. The soup looked funny and tasted kind of weird."0 -
My husband says burnt is his favorite flavor...0

I tried making hawaiian or margaretta calzone (folded over pizza), and the insides tasted horrible and the pizza dough kept expanding and expanding. It did not look or taste right, lol. I had a delicious calzone with my friends when I lived in the UK and really wanted to learn how to have it at home.0

I've never make stock. What do you do it with? how do you store it? we don't have a very good freezer at the moment.0 -
I tried a crock pot pinterest recipe with chicken, stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, sour cream (maybe? I can't remember exactly) and green beans. I know my crock pot runs hot so I let it cook on "keep warm" while I was gone. Came home to a dried out, burnt mess. I tried to salvage the top part that wasn't scorched, but you just couldn't avoid the burnt taste. I ended up tossing all of it

In answer to your stock question, I use stock for soups, pot pies, stews... Hmmmmm yummy stuff!

I use it in soups/stews and to cook rice/orzo. You can usually replace water with stock for more flavor. I store it in the fridge for about a week or freeze in individual servings.0 -

Yes, I did this with a stone casserole dish, luckily it didn't shatter and the family ate whatever was in it and then threw the dish away.0 -
I like to bake and generally do well, but my mom gave me a recipe for tiramisu cupcakes. Not sure what happened, but they were not right. They tasted fine, but looked bad....I turned them into a tiramisu trifle.0

Chocolate vodka chillis
They looked good, they tasted bloody awful0 -
I was making homemade chocolate ice cream at my parents while talking on the phone with my best friend. After the ice cream maker finished we all got a big bowl full. A big bowl full of straight cocoa powder flavored ice cream. Completely bitter. I'd forgotten the 2 cups of sugar. Wasted 1/2 gallon of milk, 3 eggs, plus the other ingredients as well as an hour. Had to wash everything and completely start over. Two hours later, after a trip to the market, we had real ice cream.0

Great topic. As it turns out, when making cheesy biscuit and homemade lasagna, the mozza goes in the biscuits and the ricotta goes in the lasagna. Was there company over? I think you know the answer to that ...0

I also once put a 6 pound roast with veg into a Crockpot and went to work. 9 hours later I returned expecting that wonderful smell upon coming through the door. Instead I had a spoiled roast that had set at room temperature for 9 hours because I forgot to turn the darned thing on.
Wasted $20 and ended up having to order pizza. I hate pizza.0 -

oh geez - this sounds like something I would do. How many times have I said, "I wonder what went wrong ..."
