Could’ve been worse. Could have been full, instead of only <2 cups left, so the mess wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. And I only got a small cut on my foot from a flying shard. And I got the pot for like $6 from Goodwill. And I still have my second one; making two gallons at a time is too much for one guy anyway, especially regarding fridge space.

Can you not just eat the bay leaves? Last fuck up I had with a blender was trying to make a butter bean hummus, but I used water instead of milk, and too much of it, and turned it all into a liquid bean water.

when I get really drunk sometimes I make hardtack. im not sure why. maybe its because drinking straight whiskey makes me feel like a frontier man. So I passed out drunk in the living room and woke up to a burning smell. luckily, I bake it twice, the 2nd time at a lower temp so there wasnt much smoke. ive also burnt mac and cheese while passed out drunk. girl friend came home from work and walked right by the burning food, me passed out on the couch and went to bed. that was depressing.
Ive also been hammered and picked up a stainless steel skillet with my bare hand out of the oven. didnt even drop it.

As it turns out, turnip coleslaw is gross. Ah well, nothing overloading with apple cider vinegar and stevia can't help. Making a mighty fine appetite suppressant, however: only a few bites in and I don't want to eat anymore!

I'm dreading what horribly diseases I've been walking through all day and wondering how long I have been working there without cleaning my shoes or even getting them rained on enough to call sorta clean.
At least they didn't have blood on them. Hopefully. Oh well, stomach acid is pretty good at sterilizing things not specifically designed to resist it.

Also found the excess water kept most the onion flavor. Mild, though. Might make an interesting base for tea or coffee. Gonna try it. Can't be worse than that cabbage/mushroom stock tea. Now THAT was one of my worst cock-ups, and yes I choked it down.

So, adding spices to coffee is interesting, but I just learned red pepper flakes and smoked paprika are the WRONG kinds of spice. Will have to experiment elsewise in the future.

Oh yeah been meaning to get back to this: vicious level of failure. I am done with cabbage*, I don't care if it's $0.29/lb when it's on sale.
* Except red cabbage, which when minced in a food processor (with carrots and/or orange/yellow peppers or whatever) makes a great base for white pepper, apple cider vinegar, and Greek yogurt (or whatever gooey white stuff you wanna use, no homo) coleslaw.

I left some potatoes in the fridge after making some boiled potatoes for a sauteed pork chop and asparagus dish and forgot about them for a few weeks.
Later I get some leeks on a whim and decide to make potato leek soup. I look in the fridge, find these old potatoes and decide to use them. I cut one open and am greeted by a spongy black mass of rotted potato. At least I didn't put them in the soup.

Trying to make vegetable hottek but I must've miscounted the third cups I was using and didn't have enough flour. It looked fine at first but the dough was too liquid to make them so I ended up just having to mix it with the filling and experimenting.
Actually worked ok, mix by itself fried and tasted ok. Or maybe I was hungry as fuck, either or.

I really really hate when food spoils so I try and reuse what I can and buy less. Well I had some leftover taco beef and desiring to add meat to pasta night I add the taco beef to some spaghetti sauce. The taco spiced beef did not mix well with the spaghetti sauce of course. It smelled awful tasted awful, but I still ate a bowls worth.

Your oil is too hot. It takes time for heat to get from the outside surface of a food to the inside. If you overdo the temp, the outside always burns before the inside ever gets any of the heat.

That's irritating as fuck. I once had a time where every egg yolk in the carton was unusable for fried eggs. I don't know what happened, but every time I tried to fry an egg, the yolk cracked. Sometimes it was my fault, sometimes the fucker just cracked on its own in the pan. I started making scrambled eggs for a bit just because I was getting paranoid about my fried eggs not coming out right.
