30 Salty Comments From People Who Didn’t Follow A Recipe And Lacked Common Sense

What monster wants home baked cookies to taste like Soft Bake Chips Ahoy?!?!?!

If the "I Didn't Have Eggs" subReddit is to be believed, confusing apple cider with apple cider vinegar is a very common mistake.

Thank goodness Jake was ok

Fond memory of my little sister phoning me (the family cook since our dad passed) to say "I've put four different cheeses in this pasta dish, what do you think?" then, before I could answer, "you're right, I've got some cheddar, I'll add that on top". Which is pretty much what I would have advised if given the chance!

Why do I think Michael is mocking Pat?

Is the right answer

Wise husband!

so what happened in Vegas, did not stay in vegas..

This is the answer

I'm banned from the kitchen, good for you, kid

There's a better than fair chance that any dish has already been cooked a large number of times before anyone writes the recipe down...

perfect solution, if one doesn't appreciate what they get, one gets nothing

now what is the sauce exactly?

LOL

On the shelf was a timer and a second and a third. They were in the cupboards and on the counters. Ticking towards the zero point. On the coffee table, under the pillow in bed, in the bathroom cabinet and in the washing machine. She wanders around the house with timers with her incredible timing. Everything important is about timing! Everything must be on time! May I suggest a cuckoo clock. Can you hear that Wendy? It's time for afternoon tea and the medication prescribed by the psychiatrist.

That went a direction I did not expect

Real yams are hard to find.

Next time just use 2/3 cup of parents

I guess that "..my father-in-law wouldn't stop riding me.." has rather more x-rated connotations in the UK than elsewhere, because...DAMN!!!

Cilantro tastes like soap 🧼

Did your boyfriend say "get in my belly" a lot.

Love the description of Noodle!

I don't blame her.

Soaking beans is so easy manufacturers put the results in cans, which I buy because I'm disabled and an unpaid carer and really don't have the mental or physical bandwidth to soak beans.

Good on them for admitting their mistake

so TWW does not like their own concoction?

absolutely no carb? Hah, good luck with that. Even cauliflower has 5% carbs

Yeah of course! Almost everything with bacon in it is delicious. Even though this is a totally different dish.

My local cake shop has a cupcake called “Better Than Sex.” While I am asexual and therefore not an objective source, I gotta say, the combination of whipped cream, rich chocolate and toffee chunks is divine.

Noodle the parrot's second appearance on this list, I'm pleased to note.

No good for me then

My Nana baked by ear too!

Sounds like a win to me.

yes Butt is a german word! Its a name for the european flounder.

Cotton kitchen twine. Use it!

That's enough to give you the sheets.

But I guess eating the strawberry shortcake was Kathleen's penultimate act, since she died right after.

Mr Auntriarch detests olives, so when I make tagine I add finely chopped olives (and more pickled lemon) to mine after it's served. I think I like it even better that way. It's certainly better than being served with an accompaniment of whingeing...

Oh! I know this one! I have things!!! There are two of them, seperate, and they can work as a team to flip heavy things. Like tongs, but not connected.

Don't wolves eat raw meat?

Reminds me of one time when I was managing a supermarket. I was on the shop floor talking to one of my staff when a woman came up, literally elbowed me aside and snapped at the staff member 'Where's the Scottish salmon'? I looked her dead in the eye and said 'Scotland. The railway station is just down the road if you're in a hurry'. I never put up with rude customers.

As if weights aren't the most specific of specific amounts 🙄 EDIT: OK, downvoters, kindly explain why weights are NOT the most specific measurements.

Is this the reverse of those recipes that have life stories interspersed with the actual recipes, but now it is the review instead? Oh, how the tables have turned!

Good to know we're talking about recipes

Welp, that escalated quickly.

so she made three ounces of bittersweet chocolate

My family produce revolting smells after eating stuffing...does that count?

A bit of instant coffee or espresso granules.

Yeah, that and "Kosher salt". WTF would I be bothered about someone else's religious beliefs when I'm cooking for myself?

Goals...

Not a stupid question, except that domestic ovens don't usually go up to much more than 200-220C

The answer to so many foods in my house "depends on if he knows where they're kept"

Yeay to fresh eggs!

🤢

How does a cake baked in the oven with the turkey or a turkey baked in the same oven as a cake exchange their taste/flavor? Did OP baked them together like the cake were Yorkshire pudding?

Baked shrimp on toast? Worth a try
