THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
Today, I really REALLY wanted to post a fabulous new recipe for you all. That was my plan all week-long, you see. But as luck would have it, my good intentions were rudely interrupted by fact that my kitchen sink simply decided to come unglued from her usual spot and fell right out from under the counter-top leaving me with no running water (or sink!) in my kitchen and 500 dirty dishes just begging to be cleaned.
This is not a joke.
Would I lie to you?
No way, man. I would not.
Good times around here, my friends. After I washed the previously mentioned 500 dishes (give or take 450) in my bathtub during the late night hours, I had a good nights rest and woke up ready and willing to serve my family cheap, five dollar pizza for the duration my small kitchen crisis. (Which should be over in the next 24 hours or so. At least that was the good news given to me today by MyHandsomeHusband aka Repair Man of Wonder).
And so, dear readers, instead of a new recipe for you today I am giving away one of my favorite kitchen appliances of all time.
Isn’t she a beauty!
I would love to give one of you lucky readers a brand spanking new Ninja Kitchen System 1200 (BL700)
, complete with a small and large pitcher and many different cutting blades (including a whipping blade and dough hook).
I absolutely adore this contraption. I use it for all kinds of things, including smoothie making, chopping nuts, veggies, blending up graham cracker crumbs for crusts, making salad dressings, whipping cream, blending dips..etc, etc, etc…I have even used it in a pinch to make cookie dough and bread dough! Amazing, it is.
I use mine every day.
Just like I used to use my kitchen sink every day.
Until she went rogue on me. Dang thing. Hoping once she has been restored to her full glory, we can be friends again. She and I spend a lot of time together after all. 🙂
To enter the giveaway all you have to do is leave me a comment telling me one of your kitchen mishaps. (Goodness knows we all have them!) Did you accidentally pour freshly made gravy down the sink? Did you burn your husbands birthday cake? Did your chicken soup boil over while you were eating chocolate and reading a great book?
I would love to hear your stories. Everyone needs a good laugh now and then, right! You may enter from now until Thursday March 6th. Winner will be announced and contacted on Friday March 7th.
Good luck, everyone!
I dropped the Thanksgiving turkey on the floor when I was taking it out of the oven…rolled on the floor and the cat tried to play with it!!!
One year around Christmas time I tried to make lime Jello in a tree shaped cake pan. I couldn’t get the Jello to unmold, so I ran the (metal) cake pan under some warm tap water for a minute–this was not the right thing to do. My pretty tree-shaped Jello came out from the pan and slid neatly down my garbage disposal. At least it came out in one piece!
I made my family broccoli cheese soup in my brand new crock pot. The cheesy soup part came out really chunky. I obviously did something very wrong. My husband sat there eating it until I asked how he could stand it. He confessed that he was struggling but didn’t want to hurt my feelings. I’m married to a sweetheart.
Leaving the salt out of a batch of bread (5 loaves!) means you have to throw it away (did I mention FIVE loaves?!). Never underestimate the power of salt! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Read the story on page 5 or so about the other lady who made bread…for her dog, apparently. These stories are funny!
I put a freshly cooked pie on to a hot burner on the stove (not knowing it was still on). The pie pan exploded- pie ruined!
My noodles boil over almost every time I make them. I just don’t have the patience to sit and watch them the whole time. So I wander off to do other stuff, only to be called back by the sizzling water all over the burner. What a mess.
I put salt on my husbands cofee, instead of sugar
I accidently put salt in my husband’s coffee instead of sugar
My first attempt at making a Turkey no one warned me of the bag inside! Surprise and laughter when the turkey was carved!
I thought I’d be nice and make cookies at my mom’s house for her. She has clear containers that aren’t labeled and I used baking soda instead of flour. After I’d made the first ones and gave her one (SO GROSS!), she told me which container held what. Then I proceeded to make more…and used the baking soda instead of flour AGAIN!
