ever had anything strange happen while baking or cooking?

I made a cake the other day, just a chocolate single layer cake, and I was trying to get rid of the bag of M&Ms's I got for Christmas so I dropped a bunch of M&M's in the batter. When I pulled the cake out of the oven the weirdest thing had happened; all the little white M's had somehow come off and floated to the top of the batter, so my cake had little white, perfectly shaped M's all over the top of it. No, I wasn't on drugs. It was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen. The M&M's themselves had all sunk to the bottom, but all the white M's were on top. I swear.

:rofl:

So I just called it my "M cake".

I was a baker for 5 years but this is the strangest thing I've ever had happen. Any other weird stories?

anything of mine came out of the oven edible, perhaps? :D


I wonder what the hell was in the coating of those m&m's? :scared:

as I am currently examining one, that they are stamped on. Yep, that's what it looks like, so it must be some really lightweight confection that got just hot enough to lift off right before the coating and chocolate sank to the bottom. I could kick myself for not taking a picture of it; I didn't think about it til after I was done frosting it.

I wanna seeeeee! :P

and it will NEVER ever happen again in a million years, I'm sure. It was so weird. I wish I could explain it. Even the colors sunk to the bottom, and only the M's stayed on top. Bizarro.

and heating butter over the toaster on a plate in the DC rowhouse where I lived with two friends, when a poor, squealing, smoking mouse came scrambling out of the toaster and richocheted in pain around the sink. I didn't know how to save it or ease its pain, so I hit it in the head with a rice pot to kill it and put it out of its obvious burning misery. If I had been in its position, I would have wanted someone to do as much for me (and my time for such a thing may come, so I'm glad I live in Oregon).

but I'm glad you ended it's suffering. They will sleep anywhere and every where. I can't leave a bag in my vacuum cleaner because mice like to get in there and sleep.

I'd have been screwn after that for sure

tripping and see a scorched mouse come out

hell i freaked out when my key sheared off in the door lock, and I looked at the house and it appeared to be glowing red

That could be kind of cool...Like conversation hearts on a cake. :D

What's on them?

I see ads for them in the coupon section of the Sunday paper.

like a magic eight ball

you ask it a question and cook it

:beer: :hi:

I love it! :toast:

kidding

how ya doin' GOG?

:toast:

I just typed a boatload of stuff into my profile; but instead of saving my changes, I clicked preview profile. So I lost everything I typed. :(

I'm sorry, I have a hard time with my space too

in fact i need to change my layout design because it has something like "porn princess" ?? written behind the list of "invite" etc.

Who'd have thunk you were a porn princess? :rofl:

it was all retro 60's stuff and so I put it on

then I was looking at it and saw that.

I'd like to just get rid of that part. What does a porn princess have to do with a retro 60's layout?

came out perfect--my first attempt--this year--nothing burned, raw in the middle, seared, scorched, squashed, forgotten, cold when it should have been hot, or hot when it should have been cold. A TRUE miracle!

that is an interesting twist.

:toast:

both baked potatoes and hard-boiled eggs, when left unattended for indefinite periods, will explode.

but once when I was heating up the wax I use for hair removal, it caught on fire and WHAT a fire it was! The flames were three feet high and there was so much smoke that the kitchen was filled within a few seconds. I finally killed the fire to find that the was had burned/bubbled/spattered away and much of it was permanently adhering to the stovetop and the floors and walls around the stove. It's lucky I didn't burn down the whole bloody house.

geebus

that's a scary thing all to wax on, wax off

should have called Mr. Miagi

:shrug:

or be furry. The latter will not happen until I'm too old to see my own face.

and I've seen your pics

you're crimmie, not chewey

I just don't prefer to have extra eyebrows or a mustache or certain other faux pas. Would a person pluralize "faux pas"? And if so, how?

I mean Faux's Pas'?

I didn't imagine you were chewey. Well I mean Chewbacca ;)

It's spelled the same way as a plural but you pronounce the last "s" in "pas" instead of it being silent. Now we know and I'm sure the knowledge will be extremely useful.

uses it incorrectly when using the plural form

Why am I awake?
