Cooking Disasters – Share, Laugh and Learn!!!
Kitchen Mishaps – Event Announcement:
Many (at least few, who spoke to me offline) think, that I am a decent cook! My friends were so excited that I cooked (huh, at least I could trick them into believing that). Some unknown sweet friend asked me ‘how to make Christmas fruit cake’(to me?!). Gosh, wish she had seen my Lousy Cake Episode!
Last Christmas, I made a major fire accident in my house…left a pot of oil on the hot stove and stepped out for shopping…after that terrible experience, I had a huge success rate of avoiding host parties altogether!!!
Very rarely(frequently), when it turns out completely inedible…I bury those in my backyard (Yes, I am a sneaky person). Sometimes I take pictures (why? why? how could I?)…just to release copyright free pictures, ha ha. (See, my damn pictures have been plagiarized several times, just a revenge).
Theme:
Cooked anything that was totally unpalatable(accidentally or intentionally)! Come on, feel free to share with me.
Do you have a funny story related to cooking disaster! What could be more fun than self-deprecating?! Please share and laugh with us.
What were the kitchen mishaps that still haunt you?
Rules and Regulations:
1. Lousy food pictures are invited but not mandatory.
2. Interesting anecdotes, food pictures and recipes are most welcome.
3. All are invited (Newbie, amateurs, experienced cook and chefs) and don’t be shy.
4. Multiple entries are encouraged. If you have a previous entry for this theme(just in case)! Please re post them and link back to this Event Announcement.
5. Non-Bloggers – please mail me your experiences, recipes and photographs.
6. Bloggers – Please add the logo to your post and link back to this Event Announcement.
7. Send me your entries to malargandhi@hotmail.com with the following details.

Very Interesting event.Def count me in.
Thats a very unusual and a interesting theme..before marriage there used to be many..but now little less but will send in my entries if i have one disasater in the kitchen;:)
man, what an idea!!…superb malar…i think i ll be the first to post ur entry, coz i have many!…loved ur theme!
LOL…Funny that you ask today, because even yesterday I had a mishap in my kitchen and out of frustation threw away all the flour without even giving a second thought how to correct it!!
Sure, I’ll be first person to stand in the long line
Haha such a beautiful theme..eager to see the roundup..
Ha! Ha! Ha! When I was a n00b in cooking, I sure did experience disasters! Anyway, this will bring fun and thrill!
That’s truly a different theme dear…
ha ha ..
marvelous ideas of a (mis)happening party…
hahahah, Malar, then, I would be the one who’ll be sending so many entries for the event
:) you’re not alone, I ‘ve burnt many casseroles too!!
interesting theme, I love the this event, you know why? it changes from the usual and at least I ‘ll not feel that I’m the only person who does disasters in the kitchen!!!and can see all the blunders of other “home chefs” too, hehehe
:)
I have so many nice photos for that, hehehe, I’ll join in heartly but hope my sweet visitors don’t disappear after that
thats a wonderful event..Cooking disasters were a perfunctory thing a year back..Now i got better i believe…[:)]..Though i never made a fire , i have had a similar experience of leaving a fry pan with some oil on the hot stove, and went for a walk.Something reminded me on the way and i ran back…if i had been a little late. oh!!! i cnt even imagine…
Dear Malar
Thats a great theme indeed. Greater part of my working life was associated with disaster management in hazardous chemical plants and in Oil and Gas.
So let me formulate a disaster recipe and cook it !! Jokes apart , let me try to remember some
Have a nice weekend
wow…………good event dear…..most of us have these experiences in kitchen….all those are burried in backyards and dustbins….expecially my bin tells the stories of my mishaps…….
hahaha… nice event… I have a few recipes that were disaster… wanted to blog about it and never got to do it yet… expect at least one disaster from my kitchen…
Ha ha ha …what a theme Malar:) I am sure your inbox will be flooded with entries. I too have something share…though I have not clicked the disasters (who wants to show case them, I thought). Waiting to see the round up.
Very funny theme. Just I got a comedy flashed in my mind…Any way Malar, logically you cannot go and leave the following usual comment like us “This dish looks delcious. Can you please send this to my event… ” He he..just kidding:)
Interesting event Malar..hehehe…:)
a very different theme! I will participate for sure, but I’m more looking forward to reading everyone’s post than contributing..
lol…that is an interesting event
Funny and Interesting theme……
A great event! I will see if I have enough time to participate!
Cheers,
Rosa

Malar, when i use the oven i bake two, three things. By mistake instead of adding the banana puree to the Oat Bar, i added it to the cookie flour which i made kept for making ginger bread cookies. I had to bake it anyway, it tasted good. But i don’t know what to call the outcome. Can this be sent to the kitchen mishap.
If so will post and send it soon.
Malar,
You have struck the soft note, I am sure there are disasters having frequently or not so frequently in everyone’s kitchen. I am a very poor baker, and disasters take place quite often when I try to bake something. Will definitely post about my recent cake disaster and how I came out of it.
