This is NOT a recipe...

Friday, January 28, 2011

This is my tale of the first time I totally RUINED dinner. This delicious looking specimen was, in fact, supposed to be a pizza.


Well, actually first it was supposed to be a pizza, then, I tried to turn it into a calzone. And after many frustrated minutes, this is how it ended up. Mmmmm.... Yeah, ok not really.
This whole lovely ordeal began 3 hours prior to this moment, with pizza dough. I had made the recipe at least 4 times before. I didn't think too much of it. I measured my flour the wrong way, so the dough looked a little squashy. I figured that after it rose, it would be a bit more....stable? I don't know what i was thinking.

SO....
A few hours later it was time to start making dinner, I opened the bowl of dough to find... this....

It was probably the texture of silly putty mixed with Elmer's Glue.  It stuck. To. EVERYTHING!  But, I figured that with a little flour (ok, a lot of flour) and a bit of determination, it could be a pizza crust. 

But, in fact I was wrong. So, (see photo #1) I decided for a plan B. After picking all of the toppings (except the cheese and some small pieces of mushroom) out of the dough blob, I decided it could be bread. So I baked it.




Then, I boiled some noodles (penne would've been ideal, but All i had was spaghetti, so that was what I went with.) But, first I decided that I should probably dump half the box of pasta on the floor first.

It doesn't look like much in the photo, but, IT WAS. Yeah... I was on a roll last night.
Anyways, then, I mixed all of the stuff that used to be on the pizza with the pasta and some butter. 

It was no more than ok, even covered in cheese.
 So, that was my exciting dinner experience last night. 
I promise to have more recipes, and less failures soon :)
