Needs more Salt
How did it turn out?
Like vanilla flavored cheesy pasta, Little Miss Moi. People eat pineapple on pizza; it really is not that different.
Did it taste bad?
Melissa nailed it "Ohhh...gag. ;)" Then Susan in VA threw it in the trash with the final insult "EWWWWWWWW!!!!!"
It is an acquired taste. I haven’t acquired it yet. There was some memory of the first time I sampled beer. Bleeech, and then belch on it for a few hours.
Were there curdles involved?
You mean when I screamed after realizing what I had mixed into the sauce??? Or, do you mean the soy milk. Yes, Jodi, if the first question; No, Jeanette, if the second.
Oh no, you didn’t?
No, Animal Mind Matt. I didn’t. ME2 did it. (Did not. Did too. Did not. Did too. Did not. Did too.Did not. Did too. Did not. Did too.Did not. Did too.)
What is cheese sauce?
It is what you make first. Then you make reservations to go out for dinner. Thanks, Swampy, for the reminder by E-mail that sometimes the back up plan is the best.
Scary, did you really do this?
There have been many ruined recipes in my kitchen over the years, because I didn’t read the recipe or check the label. It is an inherited gene from my Grandmother Grace. At least I didn’t eat dog food, which was one of her famous Goofys.
My most common mistake involves salt. I either forget to put it in, or forget that I already measured it and added. That is what I did to Pioneer Woman’s Cinnamon Rolls.
It is odd that no one asked me if we ate it. Time’s up.
Thank you to all your positive reinforcement and encouragement. I promise that when you come to town and want to get together for dinner, we'll go to Applebees.
So, let’s hear some of your best recipe flops!

The Pilsbury crusts are the only thing I use now!
The first time I made dinner for Dave, I made Beef Stroganoff - and didn't use sour cream for the sauce. BLECH.
another time - used baking powder instead of baking soda for chocolate chip cookies - they were like little cakes. (but still very edible)
and I'm asking - DID YOU EAT IT???
As for recipe flops, all I can think of is the time my sister made Kraft Mac & Cheese. She didn't drain the pasta before adding all the other ingredients. Needless to say, it turned out like Mac & Cheese soup.
I can't think of anything personally but I remember my Dad once making stew. He put in too much salt and thought he'd add sugar to balance it out. Yuck!
My worst mistake was getting Celsius and Fahrenheit mixed up when making pavlova and set off my sister in law's smoke alarms.
My brother once used salt instead of sugar in a chocolate cake. Then my dad gave it to trick or treaters wrapped up in plastic. We all laughed hysterically.
Excuse me while I got sue the makers of me IUD.
Oh, yeah - then there was the time I made French Silk Pie (which is NOT baked and contains raw eggs). I was getting freaked out by eating raw eggs so I substituted Egg Beaters. I don't recommend doing that. It tasted fine, it just looked like curdled milk.
So, did you EAT the cheese sauce?
it wouldnt be scary for your fireman hubby to rescue you nekkid ;)
have a super weekend.

have a great Friday..
Take a choclate cake mix (not the pudding ones)and follow the directions. Before you bake it add 14 ounces of fresh spinach that you've pureed and a can of beets. Mix it all together--(make sure NO SPINACH STEMS are recognizable) Bake according to cake mix directions.
The chocolate covers the taste of the beets and this is truly the moistest cake ever.
I recall my husband asking me if he was eating the healthy cake or was it just cake. I giggled and said I would never tell.
Needless to say, we added two pounds of sugar and they still tasted more than slightly saline...:/.
Have a great weekend!
I am an excellent baker, though.
Taken some time out while waiting for my boys to get in from their night out. . .
The mistake sounds horrible! ! UG!
Think the funniest one I ever did was shortly after Birddog and I got married. . .I was always trying new recipes. . .I tried on called "Ancient Old Meat". . .everything in it sounded scrumptuous (sp?) - but trust me - - it wasn't - - - it was literally like eating ancient old meat! ! !
I once cooked a cake that didnt break even when throwing it.. yes i know .. OMG
Have a great week
p.s. want to come over for dinner..lol
