Cooking Disasters and Holiday Mess
Barmymoo:
I'm sure I've already told the story about the time I cooked scrambled eggs in a glass casserole dish over the gas flame. We were scrubbing egg off the ceiling for days.
A couple of days ago my mum unwrapped the Christmas cake she made last month in order to ice it, and it was covered in an absolute carnival of moulds. There must have been four different strains on there, blue, green, yellow and white. We figure that she put too much orange juice in, so it soaked through the greaseproof paper and into the foil, which reacted with the acid to form some kind of mould-inducing compound. So this year it's a shop-bought cake.

My mum once made a curry and for some reason poured a shitload of vinegar into it. To counteract this she then put in peanut butter. It looked, smelled and tasted like throw up but there wasn't anything else so we all had vomit for dinner.
Another time she misread the instructions on another recipe and put several tablespoons of cayenne pepper into another curry. It was impossible to eat without screaming.

I forgot about my dinner once last month, remembered it when the smoke detectors went crazy. The house smelled like a fireplace for a week.

Once my brother made hard boiled eggs, drained the water and set the pan, with the eggs, back on the burner, which he had not quite turned off, and left the house. There were pieces of egg behind things on the other side of the room. The whole kitchen had to be cleaned top to bottom. Man that would have been something to watch though.

Although... does vodka taste like anything, once you burn off the alcohol?

fact: alcohol doesn't actually "burn off" the way we think it does and in fact takes a long time to evaporate even below 50%!! so it probably tasted foul.
