My dad made the best scrambled eggs. However, for some reason he could not fry them. Something was always wrong with them so after a while he stopped trying and just went with scrambled. thanks for the contest. (boston market – YUM!)

Many years ago when I was about 9 or 10 years old my dad was cooking pork and wasn’t paying enough attention to the pork while it was cooking. It ended up starting to burn and practically the whole kitchen ended up getting filled with smoke. The fire department even had to be called. It was very scary and definitely a big blunder on my dad’s part. Fortunately he has learned to pay attention to food while it is cooking since then. But I will never forget that day and hope something like that doesn’t happen again.

my fathers biggest blunder in the kitchen when he decided to make a cake for his anniversary. He made icing and put so much food dye in the icing he made bullet gray icing and could not fix it any way he tried.

When the microwave oven first came out, we were one of the first to have to luxury of owning one. (It was 1/2 the size of the fridge,LOL)
Anyway, Dad decided he was cooking Thanksgiving dinner and ….you guessed it, in the new microwave.
It came out looking like it went in…all white and rubbery looking..it was really gross…none of us wanted to eat it.

My dad forgot to drain the noodles for the macaroni and cheese. He stood over the stove for 15 minutes trying to make it congeal. Then he put it into bowls, and told us it was cheesy soup.

When I was in the hospital having our first baby, my husband fed himself nightly from a 3 pound hunk of ground beef. Each night he’d rip off a piece of meat and fry himself a hamburger in the same unwashed pan. I had some baby delivery problems, so I was hospitalized for 5 days. When I got home there was a small part of the poorly wrapped package of brown raw meat in the fridge. I guess our son was lucky his father had survived his birth.

My dad decided to make a cake for my mother’s birthday. I, being the only daughter offered to help. Dad insisted that he knew what he was doing! All went well until the frosting. He used granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar!. The warmth of the cake (he didnt cool it before frosting it) softened the frosting and created what we now refer to as “The Bubble Gum Cake. When the knife was placed on top of the cake to slice it to serve, the knife stuck to the frosting and lifted the entire top off of the cake. Hilarious!!

Cheetos and Milk Duds is an example of one of his meals. He eats as if HIS parents have gone away for the weekend: a non-ccok.
