how about some dinner ideas that went the wrong way
we are low on groceries - so I made my husband "chili"
1can Wolf brand no beans chili
1can Ranch Style beans
1 can rotel
1 can chopped tomatoes
mix, heat and eat
and apologize to cats---- the can opener noise and no cat food
my husband added cooked rice to it and loved it and is taking the rest to school for lunch Tuesday (?)
I thought it sucked

Many, many years ago I decided to cook tripe, Jamaican style like we used to have when I was a kid, for our dinner. I was only 19 and had no recipe so I just made it up as best I could. My husband (boyfriend at that time) came into our graduate residence apartment and was disgusted by the smell in there. I assured him that it smelt nasty but tasted delicious. So he took one bite and said the it tasted EXACTLY how it smelt and we were going to air out the apt., toss the tripe and go out for dinner.
OK fine, beg me to go out for dinner.

lol.....my honey talks about his favorite foods from home...Mexico....wanted us to try to make "Menudo" I think it is spelled...well I like soups and make some good ones so he told me what was in it and when he got to these particular ingredients I said NO WAY...you find some nice Mexican families around here that make it and beg it off of them and no I don't want any..no thanks...so when he went home this spring he ate his fill for awhile again..I guess it is a major specialty and is made in HUGE canner type pots and everyone comes to eat......blech....

The first St. Patrick's Day I was married I made a stew with potatoes and roast and I added green food coloring to honor St. Patrick's Day.
It was meat and potatoes so my husband ate it anyways.....

Did you have some green beer to go with it? ;)

I already had the beer------ :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

i once made a squash casserole (cheese and several variety of squash) i thought it was fine, my family acted as if i had requested they eat rat poison.
-
sounds good to me
I love squash and cheese
-
I made a dish for my kids that we called cat food. I mixed mashed potatoes or rice with cheese and tuna. Mix it up and eat it. My kids would request CAT FOOD for dinner!
-
I am a pretty good cook, but anytime I try to make Chinese style anything - DISASTER. I think it's the lack of salt.
-
G-Ma, my husband can not stand menudo either. I think you have to grow up with it. For those of you that don't know it is a soup with ground chilis, hominy, and tripe served with onion, lime, usually oregano, sometimes raw cabbage to put on top. Some say it is wonderful after a hangover.
Ok, I did not personally do this.. but my husband's ex-wife did. When they first married (and they were very young) she did not know how to cook at all. No experience, non, zip nada. My hubby loved pork chops at the time so she decided to cook pork chops and called someone to ask for advice. They told her after she took the pork chops out of the package she needed to wash them off a bit to get all the bits of bone off before she cooked them. So she washed them alright -- with dish soap and all! Poor hubby had to eat soapy pork chops!
He was glad when he married me. At least I had some experience in the kitchen. Enough to know to not use soap on the meat anyway!
-
that is so funny
did he get sick
lemon joy might had a lemony flavor
Kitkatz- my cats would love that dish :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
did you make it up or was it a real recipe
can't laugh too much
Tuna Sandwhich
toast
peanut butter on toast
tuna in middle
add lettuce
I only eat this at home---- afraid people would gag if they knew what I was eating
-
I love a good menudo. Like everyone else I've had my cooking disasters, although none come to mind at the moment (I hate cooking and do it so seldom).
-
peanut butter and tuna?????? I am SO tempted to try it!
-
I like to use the frozen bread loaves to make pizza crust. Thaw in the micro, spread on cookie sheet - instant deep dish pizza crust. I was planning to make one for dinner one night. Popped the loaf in the micro, set it to defrost a few minutes, then left it to finish thawing until my husband got home for dinner. When he got home, he had a last minute invite to go out with friends, so we took off and I forgot all about the pizza. Hubby remembered it for me the next day at lunch time. He dished up a plate of leftovers from the fridge, popped open the door to the micro, then yelled in shock and dropped the plate. The forgotten loaf had thawed and risen - filling the microwave and oozing out at him like something alive when he opened the door!
-
:rofl; :rofl; :rofl; What a great image!
-
anna :bandance;, yeah and hello
it is tuna drained out of the can - not mixed or anything
the peanut butter gives it a nutty taste
and how are you
-
Oh yes it is a real recipe I made up on the spur of the moment. The mashed potatoes work better than the rice. But both are good with lots of pepper in it.
Tuna and peanut butter.. What are you thinking!
-
mashed potatoes, tuna and cheese and what was I thinking?
add a little peanut butter and then we'll talk
can you imagine what dinner would be like it we had a pot luck :rofl;
did you get the recipes for those choco things my son loves
-
Nutty TUNA??? twirl....no wonder you don't feel good sometimes.. :rofl; :rofl;.....all of you menudo lovers unite...."tripe" yup, that was the word that sent me over the edge...I grew up on a farm and I know what that is and where it comes from and I don't give a flying flip how much you clean those things they are still what they are..................blech... :puke; :puke; :puke;
how funny, the clean pork chops..............I would need a scroll to list all my cooking mistakes....my hs home ec teacher had me believing she walked on water so when she said meals should be colorful I took it to heart....roast, corn with bright blue mashed potatoes and gravy of course...I have no idea how my dad stomached that one and it goes on........that was one of my first meals I cooked. :rofl;

G-ma WE NEED MORE STORIES
-
Here are all my stories about eating or not eating the odd parts of the meal:
One time my father took my sister and me to a wonderful Italian restaurant that had a Sunday buffet. I filled my plate with so many things that I didn't know what everything was. It was all delicious until I got to the plastic. Huh? Plastic in a light tomato sauce. Oh no, wait, that's tripe. Last tripe for me....
One time Stephen and I bought into a lamb-raising enterprise. When the lambs (or maybe they were sheep at this point) met their demise we received all kinds of chops and roasts, as well as eyeballs. I wasn't sure what to do with those...
Back in the 80s I worked in a restaurant kitchen as the all-around handy person. Stephen was playing music at this restaurant 3 nights a week and I was lonely... The chef, who was African-American, made a pot of chitlins, a traditional dish in this area of the US. It's made from pork intestines. I tried it, twice, just to be sure how much I don't like it.
When I was a girl I had no idea that people ate tongue. One day I was at a friend's house and went to the frig to get a drink. There was a HUGE cow tongue sitting on a plate. I can still see it vividly in my mind more than 40 years later. Anyone remember that album cover with the tongue on the front?
And then we went to France, where eating all the parts is part of a regular day. I am sure they would be delicious if I would just try them. Maybe next time.
I had a Korean scientist visit my lab for two years and got to know his family pretty well. He is my age and grew up in the aftermath of the Korean war. That war more or less flattened Korea and it was a very poor time to grow up. I heard his stories about wearing rubber shoes (if there were shoes at all) and having nothing much to eat. One time my friend took me to a special section of Seoul, an older section, which has nice shops and restaurants. The street vendors sell roasted insect larvae. They are one of Lim's favorite foods, but I could not bring myself to eat them. I felt terrible and decided that if I ever went back to Korea and had the opportunity to try them, I would. And I did! I went back about a year later and asked to have roasted insect larvae. I had to share though because the little cup they give you has about a gazillion larvae and I was good for about 2 or 3. They tasted like hay smells but were a bit too squishy for me. Might be better fried.
-
Anyone remember that album cover with the tongue on the front?
Do you mean this one? - it was sold a couple of days ago, apparently the designer was paid £50 in the 1970s but the Stones liked it so much they gave him a £100 tip!! (Bet he wishes he'd kept the copyright)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7592515.stm
The original artwork for The Rolling Stones' iconic lips and tongue symbol has been bought by London's Victoria and Albert Museum.
The logo, originally designed in 1970 and used by the rock band ever since, sold in the US for $92,500 (£51,375).
-
that's it!
-
ohhhhhhhhh
you ate bugs :2thumbsup;
-
here is a wrong way recipe I got from Davita recipes
what was I thinking
Lemon Cake-Pie
you basically make a homemade lemon cake and you cook it in a 9 inch pie shell
the cake part was good but the in the pie shell thing was freaky
my husband ate it only if he drowned it in cool whip and chocolate syrup
I did not give IHD the recipes b/c who would want it
-
I vote blech for your non recipie twirl.... :puke;
-
and Missy used to love miracle whip and peanut butter sandwiches
and my students would put their French fries on top of their pepp pizza
did have salad and pizza before our school decided to be healthy ???
-
I will order a Wendys chocolate frosty and french fries, then dip the hot fries into the frosty.
-
Kitkatz---- you are normal ---- yeah
my sister-in-law orders choc shakes with chopped pickles------ she is a recovering alcoholic
she can not listen to country and western music b/c it makes her want a beer
-
you have not lived until you have had a miracle whip, crunchy peanut butter, banana on white bread sandwich.................mmmmm
-
I like Miracle whip and banana sandwiches.
-
yeck :yahoo;
-
tonight I will be frying pork chops, making rice and gravy with rolls and fresh green beans and some kind of dessert - a lot of work and I will not eat hardly any of it
reason
to make up for asparagus/ cauliflower tortillas with renal okay mac and cheese----- mac with pimento cheese--
this goes under the wth was I thinking dinner
:puke; and I blame Davita b/c they published these recipes
-
twirl, I tried to make Len that mac with pimento cheese and he said he wouldn't even feed it to the dogs. I threw it all out except for the 2 bites we tried. HORRIBLE. :puke;
-
W&W
that mac and cheese is :puke; I was so glad to eat mac and cheese again and :puke;
so I just eat small amounts of the reg mac and cheese
glad to know someone else hated it
I think we are a lot alike
:waving; :waving; :waving;
any funny Yorkie stories when you had the bad weather
-
pork chops, rice, gravy
Twirl, where do you get the energy to cook? I feel like a slug lately. I just want to curl up in bed. Hubby has been cooking or we've been going out.
Today we had Popey's chicken. And I am paying for it! My tummy feels awful. I need an in house cook!
-
I do not teach anymore
and I hardly ever cook like that
felt sorry for that wrong way meal
my husband kept saying he did not deserve such a good meal ???
had enough for two meals to freeze
two for his lunch
and still more
which it has been requested that I not feed any to the pets
right--- I'll "eat" three -- one for each dog and the cats can split one
:waving;
-
Mac and cheese with pimento cheese? I love pimento cheese, but hot on noodles just sounds nasty!!
My FIRST "wrong way" meal was about six months after I got married the first time. Due to my college and his military training, we'd only lived together about a week. I decided to make fried chicken, since I had married a nice (so I thought), Southern boy. Remember, my mother is a Yankee, so I was never taught how to fry anything. I burned the bone. It was horrible! I have not attempted to do that since...and that was 1995.
A couple of years later, my parents came to see us for Easter, and I decided to make a homemade bread. After the oven cooled off, I put it back in there so the cats wouldn't get into it. A couple of hours later we turned on the oven to start the ham, and forgot about the bread. There were two loaves of bread covered by towels - most of the bread was fine, but one towel was a complete loss and the other was forever missing a corner. Lesson learned. :)
-
:rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Exploding dough seems to be my thing. One of my cans of fridge biscuits exploded in the back of the car on the way home. Sure sounded like a rear tire blowing to me!
-
wrong way meal that will never happen
Rachael Ray made mac and cheese - cheeseburgers
make mac and cheese combine with hamburger meat and cook like a hamburger :puke;
place on a bun and add lett, toms, oinons and pickles and mustard or miracle whip :thumbdown;
-
Blechhh :puke;
-
UGH! And she gets her own show to do that? Yuck!
-
she says she is not a chef duh...
but please....
and she has millions of dollars
does she thinks this is what we commoners eat
NO
-
blech...just the thought...... :puke;
-
I would eat a grilled mac and cheese burger if SHE made if for me.
-
Sounds like classic "Hamburger Helper."
8)
-
Zack -- you are so right
only she actually put the meat pattie on a bun with all the trimmings for a burger
wonder if she is running out of ideas
how about hamburger helper on a bun :o
kitkatz -- you are too funny :clap;
-
cheese egg omelet
grits
English muffin buttered with grape jelly
peaches
hot tea with lemon
until my father - in - law came into my hospital room right after they delivered my breakfast
and started talking about his skin and pus coming out -
two bites and I was done
it was the only meal with eating
-
The first time my husband and I did a turkey in a cooking bag, we waited and waited for the pop up timer. I kept cursing because it said the turkey had a pop up timer, but we couldn't find it. Finally we took it out of the bag and figured out we had put the turkey in upside down. We have also cooked ham without taking all the plastic packing off.

:rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

I made a fruitcake a couple of years ago. I reached for a bottle of what I thought was cloves. As soon as I had it in the mixture I realized it wasn't cloves it was chili powder!! Not a good spice to put in a fruitcake!! Luckily I didn't have any flour added . I scooped out most of it. Luckily I realized it before I stirred!!! I didn't even tell hubby until the cake was all eaten!! :rofl;
-
I think chili powder could improve the taste of fruitcake
-
I made a 1/2 pot of coffee yesterday -- without the pot! Unfortunately, I managed to go off to get the vacuum while it was brewing. What a mess it was when I got back.

The worst part about making it is the smell. It stinks so bad. If you really want to do something spacial for him and are willing to try it. The key is to cook it in a crock pot in the garage. haha. Yes that way you don't need to smell it and you really don't need to keep an eye on it. I have made tons of it, won't let it get anywhere near my mouth. But to each there own.
The other night I made meatloaf. And did I check to make sure I had everything I needed first? NO! So I have everything in my bowl ready to mix, and I go to get the breadcrumbs, no bread crumbs. Then I go to get crackers, no crackers (well gramcrackers but that wouldn't work). Okay so I am thinking, I decided bread would work, oh wait no bread! And I see my bran sitting on the shelf, I had gotten some to make some muffins for the weekend. Well I tell myself just a little bit of bran and it will all be fine and dandy. NOPE! Not only did the meatloaf taste like bran, it had a weird texture. It was really bad, I haven't made a meal that bad ever. I was so disappointed in myself. Haha. It sucked.
-
I was trying a new recipe the other day - mixing everything in the crockpot before going to work. I was making a Lamb shoulder roast - Italian style. But - remember this is the MORNING before work, and I dialyzed late into the night - so I'm still shaking out some cobwebs.
Well, I sprinkled in some herbs, according to the recipe. Then, sprinkled in a little Crushed Red Pepper for a little kick, just a little since I don't like spicy. Well, I decided to sprinkle in a little more basil. Twisted off the lid & shook to sprinkle. Well, I grabbed the Crushed Red Pepper instead, and it has a flip top. Twisting off it's lid and shaking it over my roast resulted in 3/4 of a bottle of pepper now in my sauce!! YOWSA! I tried scooping out as much as I could, but a little of that stuff goes a long way. Needless to say - the roast was HOT! HOT! HOT!! SPICYYYYYYY! Hubby loved it! LOL!
-
today
I had a recipe for chicken in the oven
with vegetables and bread in the lower oven
and I forgot to turn the ovens on
:oops;
-
lol Twirl, I've done this with the crockpot.. Last weekend in fact. I was cooking beans in the crockpot for dinner guests. 2 hours later, I noticed I never plugged the crock pot in!
-
I made my husband another blackberry pie -
I forgot to thaw and drain the frozen blackberries
and he now has a blackberry pie soupy pie --
lots of juice in the pie
he heated it and ate it and loved this soupy version ???
that man loves his blackberries
-
Does he have it ala mode?
I would eat any blackberry, anytime :2thumbsup;
-
oh yes,
lucky for me I do not like Blue Bell homemade vanilla or the vanilla bean -
he loved it it was rather purple
I like to just eat the blackberries out of it and leave the crust --
I doubled the recipe for three cups of blackberries to six cups - which gives me more to eat without the crust
note to self ---- remember to defrost berries
it was a pretty pie until it erupted and all this blueberry juice came out
should send the recipe to Kitkatz some she can use it for science
-
Hahahahahah! Kitkatz would have to cook something? Dreamer!
-
As a newly wed, I made a roast for my new hubby , and did not know how to darken the gravy, so I used food coloring. The gravy came out green!!!! He asked what it was, and I nonchalantly said, it's gravy. So he ate it. The man was not completely stupid.

our first St. Patrick's day I made green beef stew -
I put green food coloring in it on purpose to make it green -
( I had some wine too)

I'm making up a couple of meals at once tonight, like I usually do. I cooked up a batch of burger - put some in spaghetti sauce for pasta, and the other half went into what was supposed to be one of those Bisquick casseroles - mix bisquick with eggs and milk, stir in veggies, meat, and spices and pop it all in the oven to turn into a chewy meat pie. I just tried to take it out of the oven after 25 minutes, and it was still liquid.
I forgot the bisquick.
:rofl;
I stirred it in - I think it will still turn out okay - just my ingredients were a lot warmer than normal!
-
:rofl; :rofl; Forgot the Bisquick! :rofl; :rofl;

Haha that is great. The one thing I used to mess up at first all the time was cakes. I love to cook, and have always been pretty good. I have been cooking with my grandmother from age 5. So I can cook, no one better to learn how to cook then from your grandmother. But baking was never my strong suite. haha. Every once in a while my new creative ideas don't always play out in my favor. Haha. I tired to remake this Asian coslaw I had once. Wow it was so bad! My dog wouldn't even eat it. haha.
