I'm infamous for my cooking blunders among my friends! LOL
So I was like 12 and was going to make a chocolate cake for my grandparents house. The recipe called for a cup of strong coffee. I didn't know it meant brewed coffee, so I took out the coffee grounds and measured out a cup and dumped it in. Luckily I told my Mom that the recipe was weird and what I did and she took it out of the oven and threw it away! HAHA I'd have made a lot of jittery people that day!
I burnt a boiled dinner, literally! The ham stuck to the bottom of the pan (that was FULL of water) and burnt! LOL
Made french toast mix when I was young and didn't know I could reuse the batter another time, so I made 3 loaves of french toast and invited everyone we knew to come for breakfast! LOL
there are soooo many more stories!
I was trying to boil a pot of water and it would not boil, like 30 mins later, still nothing. I didn't get it at all. I was sooooo irritated that I thought I'd start over and dumped out all the water and got new water! LOL Come to find out there was a switch on my stovetop that made the heating element bigger for larger pans. My friend turned it on and lo and behold, the water boiled! LOL Now the saddest part of this story. I lived in my own condo for about a year at that point with apparently no clue how to use the stove. This only happened maybe 5 years ago... which put me at 31 years old!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Do not attempt to make mixed frozen drinks in a food processor when you don't have a blender. YEAH... mudslides all over the ceiling, cabinets, counters, floor!!
Lastly I tried to make oatmeal cookies one time when I was kid. They were coming out not wet enough and I showed my mom and she thought she would add a bit of milk to them, so she did and walked away, but they were still too dry, so I added more and more and more until I could pratically pour them on the baking sheet. I baked them and they were soooo horrible my brothers and parents were spitting them out and calling them piddle puddle cookies!
Oh boy.... Im almost embarrassed posting this!
