I feel like I have been kidnapped and replaced with someone that cant figure out the flavors - does that make sense? I made some of the worst food both visually and flavorfully that I have ever made. I tried to eat it, I tried to palm it off on others but there were no takers, not even the cats would touch it.
I started off with the cutest little macaroni shapes ever - little mushrooms or funghi as it said on the package. These little shroomies were a gift from my mushroom hunting buddy and I am glad I only ruined half the bag.
I cooked them up and then went crazy on the cheese sauce. I make mac and cheese all the time - come on I have an 11 year old boy. In fact it is this very same food loving boy that came into the kitchen and asked me what stank. I will tell you what stank - it was some busted irish cheddar cheese that I had tossed into the mix that instantly messed it all up. Bummer! In honor of the circus and the theatre I plated it up and took a picture because the show must go on.........

c'est la vie! Those are adorable noodles, though! But that is a bummer...hate getting in a rut.
Those are some cool looking pasta. Never seen those before. A bummer indeed that your mac and cheese didn't turn out. ;-(
Glad you're human, too. Getting ready to leave for vacay is no doubt messing up your normal abilities.
wow, right after I get a kitchen disaster, you get one too. I hope this ain't contagious...
but it looks yummy!
girli: the noodles are pretty cool and by themselves they tasted great
jenn: big bummer
marjie: thats probably it - we are flying to the complete other side of the USA
burp: I thought of you and wondered the same thing....
Oh man! I'm so sorry DoggyB--and you know I feel your pain!!

You know it really doesn't look that bad - you're too hard on yourself. As for the smell, can't vouch for that.
Them fancy noodles.....
butter......
then a cheesy, garlicy type sause dribbled generously over the pasta.....
Give it another shot dude!
Hah, we've all been there..those noodles are so cute! And it certainly looks good!
The mushrooms are so cool! I feel your pain - I had a couple of duds the past week.
snow: thanks - 'preciate that
linda: looks can be deceiving
micky-t: thats what I get for trying to 'gussy' it up too much
zoe: I still have some left - I will give it another whirl
reeni: I have more duds than I care to mention - thats why I dont mention them..LOL
becuase you said fungi.
OMG humility for da dawg..don't you go growin up on us now!
Ugh so sorry it was horrible. Those are the cutest noodles ever too! Glad you have some left.
I have days like that.
My dad always told me that the best players on the basketball court usually had the most turnovers in a game.(and I don't mean pastries) :)
Maybe that's true in the kitchen too!
OMG! cute noodles! even the finished product looks good but ugh! I hate to imagine what it tastes like...
Wow those are some delicious and strange looking pastas, loved them, where did u get those from?
As a cheese lover to the point of obsession, I have learned the sharper cheeses do not show well or even taste the same when melted. To sharpen up a cheese dish, I add a shredded sharp cheese (unmelted but room temp.) to top the hot dish.. it tends to melt, without losing much flavor integrity... Have a great trip to Alaska, and a great 4th of July!
tanya: you think thats why? hmmmmmm must look into this mycological phnemom and its impact on mycophagy
snugs: dont get your hopes up
The cooking photographer: mama said there'd be days like this - there'd be days like this my mama said
melody: thats right - babe ruth was also the strike-out king
peachkins: it would make a cheese hater out of anyone
parita: they came from the italian market inside chelsea market in NYC
buffalo: buffalotips - advice I have often given yet for some reason I was acting blindly... happy 4th you you too
We had an incident with a lovely lasagna that was totally ruined by cheese that was too smelly a while ago. It went just horrible when it melted! But the pasta is just wonderful!
The macaroni looks so cute! Sad that the dish didnt turn out good. I agree..cheese forms the culprit most of the times! Have had a similar experience before!
WOW...very nice! The noodles remind me of mushrooms...so cute.
these pastas looks cute. hehe but funny. m gonna start searching for them asap. have a nice weekend!
cheers!!
Good to know I'm not the only one who gets in a kitchen funk. Love that pasta shape though.
They are so cute! I've never seen these before. I'm dying to cook mac n cheese but my hubs hates it!!
