A client lightly mentioned that everything I cook comes out perfect. I think I heard a record scratch right at that moment. Nothing is further from the truth. I have epic fails in the kitchen everyday. I present to you: "Cooking Gone WRONG!"
Do not look at a close up of this "soup" because you might have a sci-fi flashback. This was supposed to be pho. Pho is a delicate Vietnamese SOUP, which resembles a quiet lake in spring time. Well, I always have trouble determining how much rice noodle to put in the broth. And it doesn't help that my husband claims that I never put enough noodles. Like a Ninja Turtle, this dish morphed into a delicious noodle stir-fry type of dish. So much for the delicate lake.
So in an attempt to make "sand" for a bento box I ended up with this mush you see on the left. Disaster! So I take this mass of bananas and almonds and throw it in the food processor with dates and Voila! Date Rolls... Banana Date Rolls saved the day.
Meringue cookies are pretty intense. It'll be awhile before I attempt these again. The beautiful meringue cookies picture is from Silly Simple Living.
I noticed my oven had clouds of smoke pouring from it, I opened it and flames lept out at me. I put on my oven mitt and decided to fight the flame as my children stood by wide eyed. I pulled out the cake and flames were dancing all over it. I turned off my gas oven and blew the fire out. When it cooled, I peeled the burnt layer off the top, and let me tell u, this cake is delicious. Besides, ppl burn desserts like creme brulee. Lesson learned though, don't "brown" a dish on the top rack while ur gas oven is on broil.
