I burned my dinner i burned my dinner, i burned my dinner LA DEEE DAA!!!

Hi sissygrl, well it wasn't dinner exactly but just the other day I put a tray of apple buns (possibly muffins to you) which had been carefully prepared, into the oven and reminded myself to pull them out fifteen minutes later, then left the room to do a bit of mylotting and completely forgot about them. Forty minutes later I pulled a tray of charred and blackened buns from the oven and asked my son if he'd try one or should I just bin the lot. The deranged child declared them delcious and aked me to make more burnt ones in future, so no substitute was needed.

The last time I burned something was on Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. I was doing a million things at once and I forgot the rolls were in the oven and I had forgotten to set the time, I didn't remember until I started smelling the burnt smell. Luckily I had another pan of rolls that I had not put in the oven yet so it was no huge loss, just that everyone was limited to just one roll instead of as much as they wanted. So it was not that big a deal, except now every time I cook rolls my husband teases me saying, "Don't burn the rolls." Oh well.

Sorry to hear about this. This is one of the things that really gets on my nerves. Two to 5 minutes of distraction might ruin a meal and the work of hours, it really sucks. I usually still go and eat my half-crispy meals if they're not thaaat burden. In case they are, I prefer to order something out then instead.

About two weeks ago I put the most lovely pork chop in a frying pan.....well my son called and I lost track of time.....so I had burnt offerings for supper.....it was a bit black....a little dry....but a little extra BBQ sauce and it was editible.....so I didn't pitch it! LOL

It was a few months ago. Burned the heck out of a pan. Was on the phone with someone and forgot my dinner. It was one of those emergency conversations/situations. It's a wonder I didn't jump in my car, leave, and burn the house down.

I don't remember the last time I burned my dinner but I did let a pan of water boil dry because I was here at myLot and not paying attention! You're just having one of those weeks. I'm sure next week will be much better! Tell yourself the first thing in the morning that it's going to be a wonderful day and it will be!

um..i rarely burn stuff..but the one time,some beans (like a boston baked beans type meal). somebody called me while i was cooking,and i thought it'd be brief and they kept yakking.it was salvagable,but still had a wee hint of burnt to it.

hi sissygrl wow what a time you are having,sorry'fo all your problems. he he.last time I burned my dinner'it was a pizza for one and it was so black and charred it looked more like a frisby. I had to go to work and make spaghetti and meatballs and I was so hungry by then I was drooling all over. he he he he.

Hi ya Siss Well the last thing I burnt wwas actually the kids dinner hahaha poor kids. I was on myLot, sounds about right huh, and I was grilling some fishfingers and didn't think they would cook that quick until I could smell them. I managed to take the breadcrumb off the burnt side and turned them over on the plate so the kids didn't notice until they came to eat them and asked why their fishfingers only had one side of crunchy bread crumbs and by the way, what's that smell mum? hahaha

It happens to anybody. Maybe its in one's mood. The last time i burned my food was that i am trying to make it crispy but since i have put some sugar i forgot to realize that it will burn easily. There are also times that i felt so frustrated that when i tasted my cook it was really good at all. I believe its in the mood.

Once when I was broiling my steak in the oven I burn it. I set the timer on my microwave and did not hear it go off because I was in my computer room and the phone rang. I was only on for 2 minutes and was waiting for the buzz to go off and then thought it should have gone of by now. I went to the kitchen and the steak was well well done black. I had more in the freeze so I thaw them in the microwave and this time I did not burn the steak.

will you please stop starting such painfully serious discussions sissy? perhaps you should try and develop a taste for charcoal? anyway i haven't burnt my dinner for a good long while, once when i was 20 i boiled some eggs - one was for breakfast and i usually let the rest hardboil for later. sadly i forgot about it and came home much later to discover some very p1ssed off housemates and a house that smelt of sulphur.

my husband is a great cook! he can cook anything under the sun. from pasta, to peranakan, to filipino food, to western! once i just baked cookies for my kids... and viola! twas burned! hahaha!

It was home made pizza. I left it in the oven 25 minutes. The reason I went to my neighbors and it burnt while I was a way. I ended up cooking something fast. Mac n chesse with some hot dogs.
