Nailed It! (Not quite)
- Thread starter Winchester
- Start Date
Oh several.
Like having baking potatoes burst all over the inside of the oven.
Or despite my wonderful cooking skills, burning food.
Or the time I started making pesto and couldn't get the Cuisinart to start once everything was prepped so I got angrier by the minute over it creating quite the mess everywhere.
The usual disasters.
The one that sticks in my head most resulted in an injury. I had a date coming over and was making a potato crusted salmon dish. Had a brand new chef knife that I wasn't quite used to yet. Sliced nearly clean through one of my pinky finger tops. I really should have gone to the ER, it was bleeding massively. But nope, I just ran it under running water and tightly bandaged it up and hoped for the best.
Kept on cooking. I'm a professional damn it! LOL
Thankfully it didn't get infected but it took months for it to heal completely. I was able to see the circular scar for years. By this point I don't recall which pinky it was.

My first marriage I was young and stupid. I put eggs on to boil to make hard boiled eggs. Forgot and went to corner store, oh my! Exploding eggs. Eggs on the ceiling, eggs on the wall, eggs on the floor they were every where. My pot was burned beyond any scrubbing.
I once burned toaster waffles, three batches in a row. Need I say more?
I died laughing over the corn dog muffins. What a hoot!
My worst disaster was when I was very young and baked a cake with baking soda instead of baking powder. WARNING! Don't try it!

Happened to me too!! except I had fallen asleep, lol
This is technically DH's...
When we had been married just a year or two I told him I wanted blackberry cobbler for my birthday instead of cake. We got a frozen one and he bake it up. And put candles in it. While it was still hot.
It looked like someone dotted it with pastel M&Ms. We laughed so hard. And went to Bob Evans for dessert. (Who happened to have Blackberry cobbler!)

Oh I've had plenty, but the most embarrassing was probably when I started a stove fire early on in my marriage when my in-laws were over.
