Don't you remember how upset I was that I missed The Beast Feast by
one day??!!??!!

I am right there with you Michelle!

This isn't a recipe but it is a funny cooking story...well, it was to us kids anyway! :D

When I was little our house was a huge 2 story but it was long and narrow...the kitchen was at the back of the house and the family room was in the front with the entry hall, formal living room and dining room between them. We kept a blanket across the door of the family room and used a window AC unit to cool just that room.

Sooo...our dear Mother put a big stock pot of eggs on to boil and then came to sit in the front room in the cool air...big mistake! lol!

She got into the John Wayne Western we were watching and no one was aware of anything until we heard some funny noises and noticed a bad smell coming from the other end of the house.

We all ran to the kitchen to find the kitchen destroyed...the pot burnt black...a baaaad smell and the eggs missing from the pot. Funny thing was several of the ceiling tiles were laying on the floor with holes in them. :lol tears

Yep, sure enough the pot boiled dry and shot those stinky eggs like missiles at the ceiling and knocked the tiles right out of the tracks! lol!

I still laugh about that but Mother never thought it was quite as funny as Daddy and us 6 little giggling girls did...and a John Wayne movie was never quite the same at our house!

:confused::eek: I didn't know that there WAS a proper way to properly cook mountain oysters. The vet usually just throws them on the ground after he cuts them out -- or if he's doing a herd he throws them all in a bucket.

Possibly to take home to his wife to properly prepare :sidesplt: :sidesplt: :sidesplt:

OMG that is so funny!!! See....these are the stories that I love to read :D:D

These are the memories that get retold sitting 'round the fireplace at Christmas time :p :p

I just googled 'mountain oyster', as i had no idea what that was...i actually thought it was some kind of oyster!
Now that i know what they are all I have to say is
EEEEWWWW!!!!:eek:
Thanks but I think I'll pass! YUCK!!

What???? That doesn't look appetizing??? :sidesplt:

no!!!!!!!!!!!

May I come to the next party? Looks like a blast.

my mama fries everything in bacon grease. My sister and I cleaned out her refrigerator and threw out seven containers of grease. She tells everybody we threw out her good grease. lol

I did the same the first time I cleaned my grandmother-in-laws house. I got a butt chewing that day. I also cleaned her cast iron skillet! She had to re-season it. After that she kept an eye on me while I cleaned.

No funny mommy stories. My mother barely cooked. I do not cook, but thankfully my DH loves to cook. The kitchen is his domain. One day he asked me to turn the oven on for him. I was tired from work and watching one of my shows. I went in the kitchen and turned the oven to preheat. He was upsatirs and got distracted. A few minutes go by and smoke starts billowing out of my kitchen. I run in and open the oven. I burned up his good wooden butcher block he stored in the oven!!! He is still looking for a new one.

I store stuff in the oven too. Funny thing is that I KNOW I store it there.....and I still forget and preheat the &*%$ oven and then have to remove everything hot from the oven :rolleyes:


I was babysitting once as a teenager and turned on the oven to make pizza. Smelled a horrible smell. Opened the oven door to find a pot of HOT MELTED WAX in the oven :eek: :D :eek:

That drives me crazy because my husband does the same thing after he cooks bacon in the oven he puts the pan back in the oven and just expects me to know its i there when i wash dishes. I have had the smell of burnt bacon grease may times in the house where I turned it on. no fires though I could knock his block off when he does that

I used to work with a woman - I will not tell you where she was from to protect the innocent! Her Mom used to wrap thick cut bologna around instant stuffing from a box (poking the 'rolls' with toothpicks to keep them rolled). She then put them in a shallow pan, covered them with canned tomato soup and baked them....no word of a lie, I saw my coworker have them for lunch but I could never bring myself to give them a 'taste test'...although she said that they were delicious!

If this was done with a chicken, turkey or pork cutlet, it might actually be good (spiced up right)!! I happen to hate bologna though :eek:

My brother used to eat bacon, egg and waffle sandwiches ( the waffle being the "bread") smothered in catsup :eek: :eek:










He also (as a bachelor) made Mac and cheese with BEER because he ran out of milk :sidesplt: :sidesplt:

Yucky!!!!!

Not a skillet - but I started a job once and thought "that teapot looks gross" so I gave it a good scrubbing inside....pre tea-bags apparently, no-one used to wash out their teapots - ever?!!? :eek: :D

I actually LOVE pork chops roasted in the oven with stuffing pressed in all over them and cooked in olive oil....:dreaming: :D x

That was my thought too!! And even the store bought stuffing isn't THAT awful if you fix it up a bit :wink:

NO!!! Thats disgusting!!!

I actually make something like this to take to my son's Halloween party. It's crab and cream cheese on a bed of seafood sauce with olives as the pupil, but I never can make the iris look right. I wonder how they did the iris on this eye, it looks so real.

I believe it's a real......"oyster" :wink: :blush:

Oh, those would look good next my decorative bully sticks! :p

With those ingredients you would think we'd love bread and butter pickles huh? But I hate them too. I can't tell the difference between sweet pickles and bread and butter, I think they are one in the same. GROSS!

Just when I was read pork brains come in cans, Lisa said it. LOL

:eek::sidesplt:

I think some may have heard this one before. My mom got a fish from the Asian market. You pick a live one from the tank and they club it over the head and scale it and gut it for you for free. We went home and she went to season it and get it ready to cook. Well apparently one of the muscles on the fish twitched (bc it was so fresh still) but it freaked out my mom and she screamed while her hand was inside it and it flung under the kitchen table.

Now if you can imagine, that kitchen was small with a small counter workspace. We had a diner style banquette right up to the wall of the workspace. And of course the table top kind of overlaps the seating area a bit. The fish got flung over the counter and under the table top, landing on the carpet! She was so freaked out that she wouldn' go retrieve it. My grandpa had to get it. I don't remember if she ended up cooking it or did my GP. I still tease her to this day.

Another memory was Thanksgiving. We are Chinese, so usually we don't cook and go out to a Chinese restaurant. For some reason this one year the adults decided to cook at one of my aunt's house. Their idea of homecooking was mashed potatoes out of a box, but the worst was, instead of ordering a Honeybaked ham, they bought a canned ham from the store, and put canned pineapple rings on it and baked it, thinking it would be the same. Funny thing was around that time the aunts tried to teach all kids how to cook.

Oh once my cousin and I tried to make Rice Krispy treats. We didn't have marshmallows, so we used what we thought was the next best thing, synthetic maple flavored syrup.

If you have a look on amazon.co.uk at odor free bully sticks - they're actually displayed on a plate with a leaf of lettuce!!!???!!! :eek: :D x
