Another kitchen disaster, another day.

This is what happens when the steam pressure builds up in your espresso machine when you haven't set it up properly to steam your milk. It craps all over your kitchen. Thankfully Matt made a narrow escape from incurring any steam burns.

My Best Disaster

This disaster takes the cake. Or the crisp?

This is an apple crisp that I tried making after a trip to the apple orchard last fall. I didn't think it was crispy enough after the recommended baking time, so I turned on the broiler to crisp up the top real quick. Then the phone rang....... you know what happened next. Here's hoping that my second attempt this fall goes a lot smoother.

Holy Aioli...what a disaster

I was leafing through cookbook that was a gift that I've never looked through before with any interest (In Great Taste: Fresh Simple Recipes for Eating and Living Well by Evelyn Lauder) and I came across a recipe for basic aioli. I thought, "That might be a nice condiment for the salmon burgers I'm making tomorrow."

So how can you screw up egg, garlic, lemon juice, EVOO, and dijon mustard? Let's just say all it came out as was a watery version of dijon mustard. Oh my god... it was so gross that I just poured it down the drain.

And P.S. ... is aioli even supposed to have mustard? I thought it was just egg, lemon, and EVOO??
