And when you made the Queen ...I would love to win!<br /><br />And when you made the Queen for us, it was delicious--a memorable first meeting on so many levels. :o)<br /><br />One of my worst food disasters also involved chocolate cake. Many years ago, my brother and I mixed up some chocolate cake batter and tried to make chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter centers. Only, we didn't mix the peanut butter with anything. They tasted terrible.<br /><br />My oldest daughter's worst food disaster was a Texas sheet cake (also chocolate cake). The recipe called for a teaspoon of baking soda, and she put in a cup. Yeah, frothy sizzles in the oven and the cake was inedible. But that was a long time ago. The last cake she made was delicious.<br /><br />I hope you're having a blast!<br />Myrna Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534358757278599925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-47196084403342802102014-07-21T18:58:31.769-06:002014-07-21T18:58:31.769-06:00I would love a copy of All Four Stars!

After a few hours, I pulled out a lovely tar-roast.

I'm so excited that it's a real book now.<br /><br />I love to cook, which means I've had more than my share of epic kitchen disasters. I usually play with recipes, adjusting them to fit my tastes, but my biggest failure came from following a recipe too closely. I tried a recipe for butternut squash soup (the only squash I like). It sounded promising and looked good, but one bite told me I should have followed my instincts and left out the nutmeg. My dear husband silently poured one bite after another into his mouth until I put my hand on his arm and said, "You don't have to eat that anymore." He dropped his spoon with relief :(.amhogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831363893894165135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-73759658659022652182014-07-13T16:02:02.527-06:002014-07-13T16:02:02.527-06:00I would love a copy too!

I can't think of a cooking disaster off hand (does the time I made two from-scratch cakes for my son's birthday and then came apart because they fell apart in the cake mold count?), but my husband had a roommate who once tried to reheat some chicken in the oven--in the plastic container it'd been refrigerated in . . .

If I remember correctly it made a very loud sound. We were able to scrape enough off the top for dinner but no leftovers. :-(Julie DeGuiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223163526525906669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-59447635458589537602014-07-10T20:19:34.880-06:002014-07-10T20:19:34.880-06:00I'd love a copy of the book!

I didn't know what a dump cake was, or that it wouldn't firm up and dump out like a layer cake. Melted brown sugar and goo all over the stove top.

It was extremely dense, almost like fudge, but not as sweet, and it had kind of a gummy texture. But it was still chocolate cake. And we still ate it.

My only excuse is that I was pregnant and couldn't decide what to make, so I let my older kids help me decide on dinner. They love teriyaki chicken and fish and wanted to combine the two. I don't recommend it.

My...You're so brave to try that recipe, Krista! My mom bought me that cookbook, and although I've paged through it several times, I'm always scared away by the number of steps in the recipes.<br /><br />As far as a kitchen disaster, I'll go with the first time I made pie crust from scratch. I was determined to do it, because that's how my mom does it. I couldn't get the consistency right, and I ended up crying in the kitchen and had to throw it out and start over. My husband didn't understand why it was such a big deal. This was years ago now and I have mastered pie crusts at this point, but it seemed like an epic disaster at that time! <br /><br />I'd love to win this book, although I'm going to get my hands on it either way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
