So, how can we ruin our food this week? (Tweet this!)
Here are some tips to get started – post yours in the comments!
Food-Ruining Ideas I’ve Tried:
- Cover it in hot sauce – tried this, the kids thought it was hilarious
- Drop it on the floor – toddler did this, what a helper!
- Burn it – yep, thanks toaster
- By the way, if you drop a teabag in your toaster you’ll soon be wondering which of your neighbours hosts dope-smoking parties (and, perhaps, so will they…)
- Make something you don’t like anyway – mustard greens, anyone?
- Leave it to go soggy (cereal etc) or cold – well that tends to happen around here anyway
- Add spices you don’t like – ugh, cinnamon (I know I’m swimming against the tide here but I really don’t like it!)
(Ruining my food actually worked out very well for me – I wouldn’t do this for a potluck, but see my Captain Janeway diet review here)

Flourless Chocolate Cake, not Marmite at all (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
And speaking of potlucks, I love Marmite, but this potluck cake from ‘The Vicar of Dibley’ is just wrong!
“Frank Pickle: [looking at Letitia’s cake] Oh, lovely. Chocolate?
Letitia Cropley: No. Marmite.”
Vicar of Dibley: Election (1994)
Watch ‘The Vicar of Dibley’ on Amazon, Hulu Plus, or Netflix

I burned some of my vegetables Monday in the oven. It was okay though because the chicken turned out great and I still had enough veggies that were able to be saved for dinner. All in all, it was a yummy dinner.
Good effort on the veggies Pam, although you were still able to rescue dinner in the end! 🙂
LOL! I made an egg dish this morning to cut in to pretty little bit-sized chunks for a mommy group meeting and it ended up looking like one big egg crumble. Whatever, I still brought it!
Yep – I’ve done something similar for a potluck with ‘cakes’ that turned into granola!
I once adding a tablespoon of salt when it was a teaspoon of salt to a baking recipe. BIG difference!
Oops! 🙂 I once used baking soda instead of custard powder – the tins looked really similar but I knew something was wrong when my custard started foaming over the edge of the bowl!
