Have you ever made a meal that went terribly wrong...
and by that I mean a disaster.
I have a meal that will haunt me and make me laugh for the rest of my life...it's been over 8 years since it happened and I still find myself thinking about it. Every time I make it now, it brings back bitter-sweet memories and gives Greg and I a good chuckle.
...I continue...
So after Greg and I got married his mom became very sick and by the time we got home from our honeymoon she was in the hospital and was there until she passed away a month later. So during our first month of marriage, every night, we headed up to South Bend to spend the evening with her after work. After a few weeks I had a little meltdown because we had not spent an evening at home together since we had been married...and I had never made him a meal being his wife. So one night we decided to just stay home together.
...I continue...
long story short! gees...anyway, I decided to make potato soup. My excitement over my first meal quickly came to a halting stop as I was mixing the ingredients, it just didn't look right and my spoon about broke as I mixed. Wish I were exaggerating:( Never making it before I thought, huh, just must be a thick soup. My poor, sweet, trying to please his new bride, husband, took the first bite to see how it tasted. The look of horror on his face will be forever burned into my mind. It was bad. I mean bad. The recipe called for 2 Tablespoons of flour and I put in 2 CUPS of flour. It was like Spackle you would use when fixing holes in your walls. Greg always jokes that he gave our dog Samson a bite and then he (Sam) started licking his butt to get the horrible taste out of his mouth. He - of course - smartly started this joke years later...
...I continue...
I cried for about half an hour. And then it got worse. I also made biscuits. So Greg said "Honey, we can just eat the biscuits." Well, I had been crying so hard and so long that I forgot about the biscuits...and burnt them! So after all of that, we ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for our first dinner as a married couple.
So here is a picture of the meal...done correctly:)
So what is a meal that has backfired for you?
We had to buy tickets in advance - with no refund or change (which is a littler nerve-racking when they are so pricey) so we picked a later ride so we could walk around some before...and if we were running late we wouldn't miss our ride. So when we got there we did some of the other activities. Excitement was peaked all day:) There was so much to do. They had different tents set up with train tables to play on. They had miniature golf. They had a jump house. Pony Rides. Petting zoo. Barrel train rides...
