What's Not For Dinner?

[DTCwordfan]

Cooking disasters? - be honest!

Just had one and more fool me for thinking I would go elaborate after a day of visiting the Mater, handling her tax with my sister and delivering the proforma to her accountant - then the s-market before getting back here late on, about 5.30.

My original concept was to cook off some fresh chicken thighs off the bone with a principal accompaniement of slowly stewed, creamy, long leek strands that are then garnished with a little wild garlic sauteed off in a good olive oil .

So what possessed me to use the remnants of the roast chicken from the other night with mushrooms and then to steam runner-beans, from my sis, pointed cabbage and carrots with roasted chicory and red romano-peppers, who knows??? And I ended up burning the soft part of my right thumb just to add to the misery.

the only good news is that there is a chicken stock from the carcass of le poulet now nurdling away as to making soup for lunch!

Now be honest with your failures.

I’m not sure what you’re asking/complaining about, your meal doesn’t sound like a disaster :/

My frequent disaster is boiling peas without adding water to the saucepan.

...and eggs.

[Vagus]

I microwave peas Tilly.

[Tilly2]

Do you add water,Vagus?

[Vagus]

Yep Tilly, I rinse them in hot water first then add cold water before microwaving them…I suppose you’d forget that too ;)

[Tilly2]

I need to be more aware of the tap.

[Vagus]

Yes, Tilly, tap into it..
