I was the host of an upcoming winter dinner meal for 6.
Pumpkin Soup
Beef Stroganoff
Wine Trifle

Made soup and trifle ahead of time but wanted the stroganoff completed an hour before guests arrived.
Big mistake
Had never cooked this dish before and made the mistake of putting too much of the meat into pan at once.
It became a gluggy mess. Total Failure
Luckily I had pasta and some bacon.
Knocked up Pasta Carbonara by precooking pasta.
Carbonara is one of the easiest and quickest meals to cook

You could have rescued that … stewed it up for an hour or two add cream.

My home made pizzas which are shaped and cooked one at a time, for 10 people. Mine below look dry as I don’t have loads of cheese on mine but they weren’t dry at all. I’m always hungry so had 2 myself

I cannot for the life of me, make an omelette. I het the pan, do the egg thing, then…it just goes to mush. :frowning:

I even tried adding the veggies first and putting the egg on top…nope.

Sticking something in a microwave and wait for the “ding” is about the limit of my cooking skills…speaking as someone who is capable of burning water.

I had to throw a half-made tiramisu away when I realised that I’d accidentally picked up and used some cream that was a) soured as way past it’s best before date and b) single cream when it was meant to be double.

I had the correct cream in the fridge, but as I’d accidentally already mixed the wrong single cream with marscapone I had to then go out and buy more marscapone. This was a nightmare as it was Easter Sunday and most shops were closed. I can’t remember where I found the cheese in the end (after visiting several shops) but I managed to buy some in time, although it meant the tiramisu was made last minute. I also ran out of fresh brewed coffee when layering the tiramisu and had to substitute with instant coffee on the top layers.

After all that stress it was absolutely delicious (the next day). Everyone seemed to enjoy it on Easter Sunday, but you should leave tiramisu to rest in the fridge a few hours.

Well done. You averted a possible culinary disaster. :+1: :slightly_smiling_face:

I tend to defrost sausages, meat n poultry in hot water. Find I get a nicer texture especially for chicken compared to microwave defrost. You have to replace water once too cool if you want a faster defrost.

PS I cook sausages n chicken from frozen sometimes, obviously with extended cooking time to include the defrost period
