| Your Mom's Weird Cooking (stories and Recipes welcomed!) inspired by This post about a mom's, um, "unorthodox" meat loaf technique, Need a great meatloaf recipe - Home Cooking - Chowhound What weird and wonderful (or not so wonderful) stories do you have to tell about home cooking surrounding the circle of your family and friends? tell me your funny stories, please! My Mom was full of them One that always stands out to me, is surrounding our garden and a certain crop of small new potatoes at the end of the season. My Mom decided she was NOT going to scrub and peel 100 potatoes for dinner (they really were tiny) so she loaded them all up in the family washing machine with a little dish soap and let 'er rip! Not only did it work, meaning they came out fresh and clean and void of dirt ~ they also came out PEELED!!! Gotta love my Mom!! Whoever said that "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" must have known my Mother

| Oops!! Here is the actual post I was referring to I actually love my mom's notoriously inept method (among many of her methods) of using an oven-safe mixing bowl for prep and using that for the baking dish - completely uneven result. practically raw in the middle and crispy on the outside. for some reason, very few people are attracted to the idea. go figure.

| My mom made garlic toast with wonder bread, margarine, garlic salt, and a piece of american cheese melted on top. No wonder my kids prefer her cooking (let's not forget the Miracle Whip, shall we )

| This one is not about my mom (because she is an excellent cook) but my poor inept DH He is totally helpless in the kitchen (and generally inside the house period!!) He called me at work one day, he didn't know where the pots and pans were He wanted to heat up a can of Chicken Noodle Soup. He called me back about 15 minutes later and wanted to know what kind of cheap cookware I was using...seems it exploded on the stove eye Dork had used the dome glass lid to the cookware to heat the soup in...needless to say I came home to soup and glass shards all on my stove and down in the stove eye pans...thank goodness it was before we had Jada and Bogie or they could have been injured

| Not exactly a 'recipe' per se but a friend of mine loves peanut butter dill pickle sandwiches. I haven't been brave enough to try it. |

| That just sounds wrong all around. My Mom used to take peanut butter and mayo sandwiches to school in her lunchbox. Fat on fat

We all live on the same property on the family farm..she has storage buildings..the old farm house..their house and my storage building packed. Last spring the shelves in my storage building were falling. I didn't know what she had in boxes on those shelves. I had to empty them off so we could repair the shelves...inside those 10-15 boxes were home canned food..green beans..grape juice (which had big chunks of stuff floating in the jar) and somethings I couldn't figure out what they were. Lisa can vouch for me...I texted her pics I was so disgusted They were dated early 1980's and she would not let us throw them out!! She went through each jar because she said some of them were still good!! OMG see why we are afraid to eat something she prepares

That is just SO GROSS!!! It reminds me of my exploding mango loose poop down the cabinets can The mango can was probably old too ~ but not from 1980!!! (come to think of it......if it didn't explode until 2012 she did better than the Indian Mango canning company )

| Never heard of the sandwich, but dad eats pickles, peanut butter, and saltines. I thought it was so gross. One day he made me try it and it was GOOD!
