Recipe anyone???

I have never boasted the extent of my culinary prowess.
Tonight, I concocted a meal that was neither delicious, nor edible.
It was simple by design.
The meat was hamburger meat. I added a few spices and some other secret ingredients (if you ask me, it must have been canned dog food and nail polish remover).
Truly, this was without question the most disgusting hamburger patty I have ever put into my mouth on purpose...
My kids looked at this cruel, cruel reality as it oozed grossness all over their plates.

I told them they didn't even have to try to eat it.

I was shocked by my own involuntary response when the foul substance crossed my lips and assaulted my tongue.
I literally gagged as if I would vomit.


Here are some pictures of the progression of events:

That was after one flip-over.

Here's after two...

At this point, I realized it might be more appropriate to call it "hash."


Also around this time, my husband came into the kitchen. He was clearly thinking, "What is that heinous odor?" But he sweetly asked, "I smelled it all the way from the living room, and I had to come see what it was." (Good hunny.)


I scrambled the cursed mess up and finished burning it...

And voila! It was dinnertime! Here's a look at our dinner table tonight...

Seriously, it was despicable. Utterly loathsome.

This begs the question, 'meems, do you want me to post the recipe?'

As a side note: I also managed to burn the frozen veggies IN THE MICROWAVE!!!

Proud Moment: Husband went back for seconds. Bless his heart...

Your making me laugh. That really does look gross.

We had burger patties for dinner as well. With yummy grilled onions and jalepenos on top. My fav.

This is the 3rd day in a row we have had some form of burger and or burger patty. I get in my moods and then the rest of the family has to fall in line. Next week, will likely be tacos.

Have a grand first day of class tomorrow. I know your going to have as much fun as last year.

You know, if you need something to blog about that bad, your family shouldn't have to suffer for it. You should have known nail polish remover would taste bad on meat! There was recently a segment on the news about toddlers getting drunk off of Hand Sanitizer. Maybe you should try that so that they would at least forget it or get a buzz from it.

that's why God created men with stomachs of iron! ;)

you're lucky though-my children won't anything with hamberger (or beef, chicken, pork). I'm limited to corn dogs & chicken patties! Now that takes creativity!

Kablot's response made me laugh so hard I spit out my tea and was hyperventilating!

As for recipes, my hubby usually does the hamburgers (I just don't like hamburgers that much, so I don't choose to make them.) and he seasons it with soy sauce and fajita seasoning. They are usually very delicious (as far as hamburgers go).

Don't feel too bad. We all have cooking disasters.
