#kitchen fail

[riccarodent]

Want to draw more of my dumb ideas so I can hopefully get faster at drawing. Anyways, here's some Dead Plate fanart of Rody being the worst chef imaginable.

(I had this idea when I was making spaghetti and I put the strainer on the counter instead of the sink... Like id never use it like that but I couldn't help but imagine if I had)

Me: Listen, I know we spent a lot of energy on this, and it didn't come out right, but we don't have to have a meltdown. It's completely ok to mess up and learn from our mistakes, which will make us better at the task in the long run.

My Brain: [already dousing itself in gasoline] Interesting suggestion, but No

I love that chapter in which Hachisuka and Nagasone burn the food, and that chapter in the manga in which the Sanjo try to cook and burn not only the food, but also the kitchen.

The same happened to me in my mom's birthday (last picture)

I tried to bake a cake, but I accidentally burned it and the whipped cream was insuficient TwT ooh well...

At least I tried ~ yeah

So don't worry, my beloved swords, your aruji is also a disaster at kitchen duty ❤️

Tonight I found out what happens when you cook with mushroom soup in an InstantPot. When you hit the pressure release, it sprays mushroom soup all over the kitchen. I then compounded the problem by putting what I thought was corn starch to thicken it, but it was baking powder and turned into one of those junior high volcano science fair projects. I’m now at a bar regretting every life decision that led me to this point.

Today i burned the challah

and sank the cake in the middle

Some days i do not kitchen so good.

(even good cooks have bad days)

--------------

Update: turned out delicious. Ugly, but delicious.

Because the challah browned too early while still being absolutely raw inside, I dropped the oven heat to 300F, and then later to 250F and let it finish in slow oven to 195F internal bread temp instead of finishing to usual 200F internal temp. Also brushed the top w water every 5 min or so to keep it from scorching further. Totally moist and delicious, and most of the crust just tastes deeply carmelized, not scorched. Also easy to peel off where necessary.

Cake was sunken, but also supermoist. I think I liked the gooey center bit best. Need to figure out a presentation that makes it look like I did this on purpose . . .

(The gift of mistakes is what we learn from them)

I tried to make a Frittata without a recipe and i failed terribly at it. Too much filling, I guess... Looks more like a scramble. But it was still yummy 😆🍴

The kitchen decided not to cooperate with me tonight. Something has apparently dripped onto the bottom of my oven, and it started to smoke (JUST A LITTLE) and set off all the smoke detectors (Which are absolutely the most sensitive smoke detectors I’ve ever encountered). 

My neighbors also got to hear me shouting, “Goddamnit why are you so fucking sensitive?” as the alarms shrilled. 

While running around waving potholders at the smoke detectors and trying to get fans set up and windows open, my skin-less chicken breasts developed (an admittedly tasty) crust and got 3/4s of the way to being chicken jerky. 

I then managed to burn myself twice while the noodles over boiled on the stove top. 

Good news is that, for all of that, dinner came out pretty good (overlooking the trail-worthy chicken).

Two days ago at work the oven timer went off and I was the only person in the kitchen so I went to check on whatever it was and it was a foil covered 4" hotel pan on the top rack so literally above my head and I did not anticipate it being VERY HEAVY and long story short that's how the phoenix tattoo on the back of my hip now has second degree burns because I somehow managed to spill hot pork grease on my shoulder and down my back.

Which when you think about it, having burn scars on my phoenix tattoo is actually pretty metal.
