smelled like scorched garlic and the yard bird was crunchy through and
through

I can confess a dinner disaster, though not mine. it was my ex's

apparently he was in the middle of making the gravy part of shepherd's pie,
and got out the plastic container of what he thought was cornflour to
thicken the gravy...of course, he didn't bother to read the label, kept
cooking, wondering why it didn't thicken up so well...turned out what he had
used was icing sugar (powdered sugar) instead

then he expected me to still eat it, after he told me he had rinsed all the
gravy off the meat/vegies under running water through a colander, and made
up new gravy

sheesh

For many years my mother didn't bother to label items she put into the
freezer. Well, she had a surprise dinner guest one evening -- the
gentleman she played a round of golf with had forgotten to bring a
clean shirt for dinner out, and she said she would pull something out
of the freezer and make a salad. Sounded good! So she pulled out what
she was certain was a turkey pie we had made and tucked into the
freezer. She put it into the oven, and since it was a lovely evening
she and the gentleman went out to the back patio for drinks while it
cooked. A while later they went inside and smelled something
wonderful, but it wasn't the turkey pie. It was a peach pie! So
dinner that night was salad, peach pie, and a lot of giggles.
