[QUOTE]In Response to Re: What is the worst thing you have ever cooked? : Same here... Sometimes I like to pretend I'm my mother who is full blooded Italian and an amazing cook who just throws a bunch of sheeit together and it turns out awesome... then I remember I am not her and go back to following recipes, when what I have prepared tastes like crap.

Sometimes I'm successful at making what I call "random sh!t", but it's usually something simple. Like I threw chicken breasts, spaghetti sauce, bay leaves, and italian seasonings into the crock pot and cooked it. Serve over pasta with some cheese. Simple stuff though.

I also love making pizza from scratch. I've made some interesting ones, too. Like pizza with garlic sauce, crab and scallops. So delicious.

MP If your interested, I think I have a cookie dough recipe that is eggs free, and pretty tasty if I remember correctly.

That "coke salad" looks revolting.

specialk84 · January 2012

Does the coke salad come with hookers?

MattsPenguin · January 2012

Special, we thought about putting the bowl right back in the freezer, but it had to dry first. Then my anti-clutter husband actually put the darn thing away. It's on a shelf above the freezer. I just need to go get the step ladder and get it back down.

MattsPenguin · January 2012

Meg, if you plan on eating just the dough, can't you just leave out the eggs? Or is your recipe intended to be baked. What's the usual switch for eggs? I know it's applesauce for butter/oil.

SunriseAmber · January 2012

I tried making red and green pepper sauce to go over pasta (this was during my vegetarian days). It came out horrible. I can eat very little green peppers now. As for red peppers, forget it!

I also attempted red velvet cake pops a few weeks back. I did a horrile job and I still don't know what went wrong. It was too gooey and basically seemed to be nothing but frosting and grainy and horrible!

Oh and I fail at using the Wilton Candy melts on anything. It just does not go on right!

MyUserName1 · January 2012

I just eat the dough, eggs and all.

salmonella be damned.

And I also make dough from scratch just to eat dough. The effort makes it taste better. Like victory.

specialk84 · January 2012

I kind of wish I had a prettier KA mixer. Mine is a white 6 quart heavy duty one. I'm so glad I have it, but I kind of wish it was red. Oh, well. It was a birthday gift about six years ago.

<div>Haha I feel dumb. Yeah it looks like most cookie recipes just sans eggs. Maybe some extra milk too? I used it to make cookie truffles (chocolate cover cookie dough). So good.</div><div>

Once I made meatloaf with saltines that were 6 years expired. I didn't realize how old they were until I popped one in my mouth to munch on right before I took the meatloaf out of the oven. 5 years later, and H still asks me to make sure to check the date whenever we use crackers for anything.

Callmefia · January 2012

I made pancakes from scratch, but when I pulled out the whisk and started mixing, I found all sorts of little black specks in my batter. The whisk was painted black and had rusted out and the pieces were in my batter

Something else I made that was disgusting was a crockpot chicken recipe with salsa and cream cheese (I think. It was all over the Weight Watchers community sites at the time, supposedly delicious). Sounds great, smells nasty. I couldn't even try it. Garbage it went and out to dinner for us!

specialk84 · January 2012

I agree, Edie. The KA factory is near my house, and H wants to take me there. I don't think he knows what he's getting into, since I'd want to leave with every pasta attachment and a meat grinder. I don't even know that I would use the meat grinder. I just want one.

This is how I feel about the mini deli slicers you can buy for at-home use. I'm pretty sure I would be too lazy to use it, but I still want one so bad.

Megbo2012 · January 2012

I want the pasta attachment so much. I have the nickel/silver colored KA and I like how professional it looks. I wanted red at first but my mom talked me into upgrading for a "better" model, which didn't offer colors.

mssamanthalewis · January 2012

i tried to make chicken tikka masala using a store-bought paste in an attempt to convince FI that indian food is not terrible. it was the worst thing i've ever eaten and failed to change his mind.

krizzo17 · January 2012

Ok, I found a recipe for coke salad (no hookers, and that's cherry coke, for the record)

2 pkgs. cherry, black cherry or raspberry Jello
1 (16 oz.) can crushed pineapple
1 can sweet cherries or Bing cherries
1 c. pecans or walnuts
12 oz. Coca Cola
4 oz. cream cheese

Drain liquid from pineapple and cherries. Heat to boiling. (Will be about 1 1/3 cups.) Pour in Jello and mix well; cool. Mix in 12 ounces Coca Cola and refrigerate until thickened. Add pineapple, cherries and nuts; mix well. Refrigerate until jelled.

Has anyone else ever seen that cookbook dedicated to commenting on disgusting pictures of food, usually from 1970s cookbooks?

tpender13 · January 2012

I tried to make cheesy ham and hashbrown bake that used evaporated milk. Except I'd accidentally grabbed condensed milk without realizing it -- they're on the same shelf at the grocery store. It was sooooooo sweet and disgusting. I almost cried because I wasted a huge pan of food, and I hate wasting food.

WildRumpus · January 2012

I made sugar cookies with rancid vegetable oil at Christmas....oh man. They were awful.

The worst thing was probably my attempt at pomegranate glazed salmon-I soaked the salmon in pomegranate juice, which turned it this really unappetizing shade of gray, and it didn't cook evenly-half of it stuck to the pan and burned to a crisp, the other half didn't cook through. Nasty.

RaptorSLH · January 2012

marinabreeze · January 2012

The worst thing - shrimp in curry sauce. I mixed in curry powder, grocery-store bought curry sauce, and evaporated milk, with red pepper for extra kick. In my head I thought it would be delicious, but it tasted so horrible, I couldn't even eat it.

ArynBaker · January 2012

I'm coming in on this way late but I'll share anyway. I LOVE gnocchi with pesto sauce and have tried several times to make it with a powder packet of sauce. Once it came out way too watery, another time it was burnt, another time way too thick (all with the same type of mix). I eventually gave up and FI decided to give it a whirl. It came out perfectly! I swear he did something special but he won't admit it.

housewifehobbiest · January 2012

I accidently made sage brown butter sauce, for gnocchi, with salted butter. Poor FI started eating it a few minutes before I sat down, and managed to keep a straight face and keep going. I took one bite and spit it out with a horrified look. Its sweet he would eat my cooking even with a nasty screw up though.

I once tried to melt dark chocolates in the microwave, but in stead of the chocolates getting melted the container melted.
