Anyone else want to share a failure story and make me feel better?  |
unsweetened grape juice is still sweet. It has sugers in it.
BTW did you do a video? Could have been a youtube hit

Re: My Dinner Failed!!!
One time I made Chicken Pot Pie - enough for 13 people and I forgot the chicken. They all had a big laugh about that. My niece even composed a song about it that they still sing today at all major holidays. LOL!
My chili is awesome and I use canned Bush Chili Beans. That is one thing that I CAN cook and I make it sweet. We seem to like anything tomato-ish with some sweetness to it, including pasta sauces.

Re: My Dinner Failed!!!
Our honeymoon:
Day One: Nevermind
Day two...
lunch is on me - I had brought bacon wrapped fillet Mignon...
for a special treat I also bacon wrapped four chunks of cheddar cheese...
put it all on the grill...
BIG FIRE...
no food.
Cheese is quite combustible!

Sorry your chili didn't turn out well.

I think pressing is right--just sorry ole beans!

Not often. but then I am trained to avoid messing up. =)
NEVER believe everything you read online. A lot of people have very bad taste. =)
sorry you had this experience. Just break down and get a bottle. Who cares if you buy wine?
My sisters pastor got up church and told them that if anyone heard a rumor about him being in a liquor store it was probably true. His daughter-in-law and wife had sent him to pick up something they needed for a dish and the only place he could think of that was close that would have it was a liquor store. He did not even know what he was buying. He went in and told the clerk what he needed and had to take his word for it that it was the right stuff. But then he and his church are not uptight. conservative but not uptight.
