So, How Can We Ruin Our Food This Week?

This week’s diet is inspired by Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager drinking coffee and being a terrible cook 🙂

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)
 

 

And this: Now this is dedication

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
