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 put a roast into the crock pot and when I went to season it with some paprika, the lid came off I poured the whole things out.
I once made a lemon pudding type cake for a party, but realized when it came out of the oven that I’d added baking soda instead of corn starch. It was inedible.
Too many to pick just one. Latest mishap, In an attempt to make rolls quickly for my hungry boys turned to Jamie’s fluffy dinner rolls recipe. They helped me make the dough and roll it too. We were all disappointed when we bit into our beautiful fluffy rolls. We had forgotten the salt. There is a reason the recipe calls for salt. They didn’t seem to mind though. Thanks for all your yummy recipes and for this great give away.
I once made a chocolate cake and accidentally dropped it down behind the stovetop built in to my parents’ kitchen island. I grabbed it as it fell, and glued the whole mess together with the frosting. It wasn’t the prettiest cake I ever made, but it still tasted yummy!
For my husbands birthday, I decided to make his favorite,CRAB! Easy huh? It was a disaster. We threw the crab away it was so nasty. Not my fault. It was bad crab but my house stunk for two weeks. Never again. Next time we go out for crab 🙂
Children…. I love them, and I had eight. Over the years, I have discovered that they can do crazy, ridiculous things. For example, my children have heard that to test the readiness of spaghetti, you throw a piece at the wall or ceiling, and if it sticks it’s done. Truth be told, I may have told them that, not exactly sure what I was thinking when I did, but I certainly regret those words and wish I could eat them! Long story short, my kitchen ceiling needs to be repainted. Besides the residue of long lost noodles, there is grease residue and even spaghetti ( or maybe salsa from my last canning season) splatters that need to disappear!Sadly to admit, there may even be a stray spaghetti noodle stuck up there. Oh if I could get to all the spots that need cleaning…anyways… I
Sure would love a new ninja!
When I use to wear soft contact lenses, I quickly opened up the hot oven and the contact lens melted to my cornea. Ouch! Off to the ER.
I made a Jello poke cake for a church party and added too much water to the Jello. I poured it over the cake and put it in the fridge to set up. When they cut the cake the whole bottom of it was watery. I was mortified!
