Oooooooooooooooh... 'Twas a drink that I mixed, back wheeen I was six. I put milk in a cup, and fiiilled it up. Put some juice from a pickle, and leeeet it trickle, and some water in too, oh I knew just what to do; with some sugar for good measure, for a surely sweeter pleasure. Down it went and up it came, and I suggest that you never ever ever EVER do the same. My sister tried that too, juice, milk and sugar, except that she chose orange instead of pickle... But the result was indeed the same, lol.

First time I tried to make a cheese cake...I had no idea how I could make the cake firm enough to stay inside the pastry, so first bake failed miserably, there was hot cheese in the oven everywhere... second bake I decided to add something we call Maizena, it's some kind of flower made from corn that makes your sauce and puddings a little firmer...cake came out well but turned out to be as hard as a brick wall...thirth bake came out black and kinda smokey too finally i decided to call my mum and ask her how she did it...turns out i needed to add a package of vanilla pudding to the cheese...if i only knew!
Not to long ago, I wanted to have some lasagna, so I turned on the oven to heat it up first. Silly me didn't check if something was left inside the oven, so after 20 minutes I was checking the whole house where that funny smell of melted plastic came from My sister left a plastic bowl in the oven... Imagine the scraping I had to do!
Also not too long ago, I was having a small gathering with friends, we drank a bit, smoked a bit and got hungry. Yay, Gal had a big lasagna in the fridge, so again, turned on the oven, checked it this time and after 20 min I put in the lasagna. Of course we were still having fun and all, with the drinks and the smokes, untill my friends went home and i went to bed...next morning, i find my oven still on, very hot and the lasagna was still in there. Or rather, the cheesy top was still there, the rest of it was gone, no sauce, no pasta nothing else but a layer of verrrry crispy remains of cheese ;D

Notice a common theme in Gal's stories? Yeah, cheese!
Might do you good to drop the disgusting cheese, gal, that way you might be able to cook one good meal before you turn 60. Unlikely, of course, but try it!

I don't think I'm such a bad cook though, I know people who manage to burn water so ;D But as said before, I'm an experimental person in the kitchen en try to make new stuff without using a cook book. But my trial of a good Canadian Poutine turned out quite good, thanks to the help of a certain Canadian girl...

Did you try to make it without her help yet? ;D

Gal, that's awful! ;D
At least my very worst disaster was adding orange to a soup and boiling it.

You mean to say you made a worse dish than the one you showed us?

You mean to say you made a worse dish than the one you showed us? During my teens, I was wildly experimenting. Once, I threw in orange, apple, anchovies, chicken and some other things into a pot of soup. That was the first and last time in my life that I ate chicken+anchovy-flavoured orange and apple.

I heard a good culinary disaster the other day. A friend of mine got home from drinking and was incredible hungry. He took up a pizza, put it in the oven - and fell asleep!
As you can imagine the pizza was kinda burned the next day. In fact, he was lucky that was all that happened!
