I shot chicken noodles out of the top of my pressure cooker. I forgot to put the weight on it. Whoopsie!!

Oh, let's see... I am a good cook, but I have a couple. The first time I cooked a turkey by myself I put it upside down in the pan. I kept waiting for the little timer to pop. Now, I put it breast down on purpose.
Once I made something as an experiment (don't remember what it was) that I served to my husband and kids. They tasted it and spit it right back out. When I came out of the kitchen I asked why they weren't eating. My hubby said he loved me, but that is awful. I tasted it and had to agree. We had take out that night.
My daughter tried to pop popcorn in my theater style popper, (the pan with the little turning thing inside)and forgot to put in oil. That made a smoky mess!

Got another one for you... I had taken 2 dozen eggs out of the fridge, and set them on the counter, to color for Easter eggs. I told my daughter (she was 3, almost 4) that we were going to paint the eggs. The phone rang....it was my sister. We started chatting, and after awhile, I noticed that my daughter was awfully quiet. She's my third child, and I've learned never to trust them when they're TOO quiet. I called her... no answer. Heard her giggling in the bathroom. I opened the door and there she was...she'd smashed all 24 eggs on the tile floor and was "painting" with them. She grinned up at me and I couldn't even scold her! I did tell her we'd "paint". Have you ever tried cleaning dried egg off TILE? What a nightmare....LOL

These are hilarious - isn't it great to be able to laugh (after the fact) at ourselves. When I was first married, my brothers were helping with some yardwork so I invited them to stay for dinner. I made fried pork chops. To this day (50 years later) they remind me of that dinner whenever pork chops are served. I cooked them slow (my mother told me you had to do that to kill microscopic worms in pork). I cooked them so slow and so long that there was no meat left in them. I had crust from top to bottom. Another time, last year as a matter of fact, I attempted to can creamed corn. The recipe did not mention adding any water to it and it increased in size so much it exploded inside the pressure cooker and the corn waiting to go into the pressure cooker also began to outgrow their jars. It looked like something from a horror movie and we have laughed about that every time I open a tin can of corn. I will try again someday - when no one is around to see what happens. One can only take so much laughing. |

My poor DD has done it agian! I posted 2 pages back about her mac-n-cheese and instant potatoes. This time it was popcorn! I have an air popper and my oldest, now 16, decided to make popcorn for her boyfriend so they could watch movies. I was out at the garden and they were watchin the 2 younger girls. All of a sudden my middle daughter comes runnin out to the garden yellin that they need help in the kitchen. I run in to find popcorn everywhere! It's on the counter, in the sink, on the floor, everywhere! She had poured half a bag of loose popcorn in the popper cause she wanted a lot of popcorn. You're only supposed to use 1/4 cup but she used about 1 1/2 cups!
Her boyfriend is laughin so hard he's cryin, she's bawlin cause it won't stop spittin popcorn, and my 10y/o is runnin around with bowls tryin to scoop it all up! I just stand there stunned at the mess wonderin why I ever leave her alone near my kitchen!
Where is my little 21m/o baby girl? Sittin in the floor happily stuffin popcorn in her mouth! She's grinnin like a fool and about as happy as a kid can get!
Our chickens ate popcorn for 2 days to get rid of all of it! LOL!
