Cooking Fails

[Stony]

Post your failed cooking attempts/stories here.

Today I tried to make peanut butter cookies but accidentally added extra egg so the texture was utterly fucked.

quence soaks everything she cooks in goose fat or bacon grease does that count as a cooking fail

Whenever I'm hungry, I just peel back one of my fat rolls and reach inside. 6 times out of 10, I find a little morsel to eat

Another cooking fail:

Tried to make tanghulu in the microwave to appease my Tik-Tok-obsessed younger sister. Accidentally burnt it by microwaving it for 30 seconds too long (sugar is apparently very temperamental). It probably did not help that she insisted on using cotton candy sugar in combination with the regular table sugar. Ended up with a sludge-green mess.

I will say that we did at least nail the texture, but I personally don't think that hard candy pairs very well with orange slices.

I'll do this one again.

Extracting THC using alcohol fail.

Step 1 - Put a half ounce of good weed in a half gallon of good liquor.
Step 2 - Freeze thaw shake freeze thaw shake freeze thaw shake
Step 3 - Drink
Step 4 - ???
Step 5 - Get kind of high while getting drunk
Step 6 - Start farting out weed farts!
Step 7 - Profit!

I'll have you people know that I redid the cookie recipe, and this time it turned out fine.

(sugar is apparently very temperamental)

it is... you'll want to get a precise temperature to match the recipe to
i have recipes for honey wafer and taffy treats i haven't tried yet because of lack of confectionery thermometer

I made cookies again, this time snickerdoodles.

Not a major fuckup, but they ended up crunchy somehow, which is not the texture I was going for. At least they were more edible than the other batch, but I'm definitely not having the best luck with baking lmao.

I think I can pin down the mistake to being either a) the fact that I left my sister in charge of taking them out of the oven, and I think they were in there for a bit too long, or b) the fact that I let my brother whip the eggs into a meringue texture "for science."
