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 was asked to bring dessert to a family get together and I decided to bake a Carmel chocolate cake at their house so it would be warm when we served it. It looked beautiful coming out of the oven but then kabam it shattered. I haven’t made one since.
I used what I thought was an oven safe dish in the oven for some stuffed bell peppers. The dish cracked and send shards of glass all over the oven. Beautiful stuffed bell peppers had to be discarded because of tiny glass shards. Pity.
I had a Pyrex glass pan on a stovetop burner and didn’t realize that it had got turned on… the glass dish broke and my food went all over!
I was grinding wheat to make bread for dinner. Only problem was that I forgot to snap down the lid of the container that collects the flour. The lid blew off and flour went everywhere. What a mess to clean up during dinner time rush. Thanks for the giveaway.
One time my mom cooked a spaghetti squash without cutting it in 1/2 or poking any holes. When she pulled it out of the oven kaboom! It was everywhere! All over her, my sister, the kitchen. She cleaned it up, but we kept finding the strings for years!
let’s see… trying to speed up the baking of a bundt cake, I turned the heat up to 500. I thought higher heat faster cooking. (I was only 12.) The outside was burnt, and it was as hard as a brick.
I was cooking a lovely homemade lasagna one mystically day (we have mystical days at our house. Especially when mom has the time to create a lasagna from scratch)! When the lasagna of glorious wonder was done I pulled it out of the oven and set it on top of the stove burners. Now, me being the intelligent but sometimes absent minded woman that I am, forgot to turn the burner off earlier from browning the meat. I walked away to set the table and as I returned and approached the loaded lasagna, the entire thing exploded! My beautiful purple Pyrex shattered and ejected its sharp pieces all over my kitchen along with the remnants of what was to be a dinner to dine for! 😉 I learned my lesson then and there. Check to make sure all burners are OFF before setting any glass dishes on them. Amen!
being a rookie cook didn’t deter me from trying to make my own pastry…it went from bad to worse….the kitchen and me were white, the air was blue and it all ended up in the garbage…needless to say i buy the premade stuff now 🙂
It was my nephew’s baptism. My mom and I were cooking while guests were in the Church, so food would be ready when they arrive home. My mom was so in a rush and there was such a mess in the kitchen that she decided to garnish the spaghetti in a table outside the kitchen, so, she didn’t notice she added powder detergent (which was in a clear bag) instead Parmesan cheese! As you can picture, everyone savored the detergent! My mom wanted to disappear
Well my Grandson Joshua got a hold of a bottle of cooking oil and guess what he did he pour it out all over the floor and when I walk into the kitchen I went sliding across the floor all the way into the bathroom and i started falling I hit the door knob and fell to the floor so hard and busted open my forehead and eyebrow and then after that everyone thought I got beat up and everyone went after some guy that they blame for beating me up poor guy got blame for something he didnt do but no one would believe me !!!! Oh and too hours trying to clean the cooking oil all up uggggg
