Food funnys

My Mother in law is here for a visit this week and the other night she was making my husband and I some cookies which required a stick of butter. After the cookies were done and eaten we all went to bed but we all forgot about the rest of the butter which my MIL had left on top of the kitchen counter. My husband and I never leave food out at night because my cat has a bad habit of jumping on the counters. Well that's what she did this night too. The next day when we woke up we noticed that she had licked the stick of butter. We could actually see her tongue marks in the butter. When we told my Mother in law what happened she said the same thing your husband said, "Why don't you just cut off that part of the butter". Needless to say my husband and I threw out the stick of butter .... LOL

Yeah, kind of hard to cut off that mold from each little strip of cheese.. I do have a food funny, but it really isn't appropriate, but my husband says it every Thanksgiving. This was years ago, when we drank a lot during the holidays and we had his brother and his family over for Thanksgiving dinner. We always take the giblets out of the turkey and cook them, not to eat, but to make stock for soup. Well, the giblets include the heart, liver, and the neck. So, my husband is stirring the pot, and his brother and I were watching him when he said something like, "Want some soup?" and he pulls the spoon out and on the spoon was the neck. Now you can imagine what that neck looked like, and with most of us already a little buzzed, we lost it.. So since then, every year he tells someone about what he calls, "Turkey D1ck Soup"

Funny thing that happened to me on the food funny instances is that once a cockroach fell off in one of cuisines I prepared , so my dad noticed it and just nodded telling me that ..'Thanks you did not tell me you are preparing chinese today???'

If or when I have too much of something, for example grated cheese, which tastes heavenly on the lips but hell on the hips, I freeze any portion I'm not going to use within a couple days. The freezer if it is set to extreme cold can keep food cold almost forever, especially if it is crockpotted.

Well, since we both love to eat there is never any left overs to forget about

That was actually a clever and funny response, but it doesn't surprise me because I probably would've gotten a similar response from my husband as well. I don't know how they come up with their ideas. Thanks for putting a smile on my face!!!

I keep grated cheese in the freezer because it goes to mould rather quickly. I just take what I need each time and then return it to the freezer. This way, I always have some there. There's nothing worse than making a dish and then finding the cheese is off.

Mostly blowing up potatoes. My departed Mom used to put all dry goods in glass jars so the mice wouldn't get them. One day, my departed Dad tried to make pancakes and he couldn't get them to thicken. I tasted them. He had mistaken the powdered sugar (I think you call it icing sugar in your country) for flour. So he had used two cups of sugar instead of flour. He was all ticked and told her to label the jars. He hadn't cared because he had thought everything was different enough that he could see the difference. But I thought it was funny. There are usually some good food funnies around Thanksgiving like my brother's oven quit and he didn't know it so we had Thanksgiving way after dark and almost had to stay over on the couch. He kept appologizing and I thought it was amusing. Of all the days for a stove to quit, it had to be that one. That will teach us to be thankful when it does work for Thanksgiving!

hi anne a month or so ago we had some Spanish Lasagne okay now I like lasagne with its Italian flavorings but this was sheets of corn tortillas and tomato sauce andlots of cheese with Mexican spices so where was the Italian part and why call it Lasagne? It was edible if you told yourself it was an enchilada but not if you really really wanted lasagne. . I ate it and it was tasty but Lasagne it was not.but worse than that was turkey and dressing with jams. okay so everyone thought why are we having jam with meat? no no no the typist spelled y ams as jams another Mexican lady. so the candied jams I mean yams were delicious

I decided to fix a roast for Turkey Day instead of the usual. I had gotten horseradish at the store to eat with the roast beef. My daughter went to her boyfriend's familie's place for dinner. I didn't think to ask her where the horseradish was because I thought it would be where I thought it was. So it came time to eat and I could not find the horse raddish anywhere. I was dissapointed because the beef is so good with it. My daughter got back home and at some point I asked her where she had put the horseradish. She had put in the one place I hadn't thought to look ofcourse!

I once found an egg in the garden. It looked cooked but I wondered how it got there. So I carefully opened it but I was not prepared for what would happen then... the worst smell ever, EVER, struck my nose. I don't know how to describe it other than that it smelled like all awfully stinking things combined I can think of. It turned out it was a lost last year's Easter egg. It was greenish white in color. If you wanted to torture someone you could use such an egg and force the person to eat it. You could definitely make ANYONE divulge ANY kind of information this way

lol i'm forever trying to hang onto "out of date" food.. my partner is a real worry and if something is one day past its sell by, or even on the day of its sell by she freaks out and won't eat it. .. even bread, there could be blue-mould on ONE piece of bread and she won't eat the whole loaf lol.. so i'm constantly trying to give her things that she doesn't notice for my own amusement lol!

hi anne i never thought that you can use a molded cheese to make some eatables again. i don't keep anything for long and i store only that much, that can be utilized in a few weeks.i keep looking around my fridge and food item never last inside for more then 2 days.i remove it out and either use it or give it away. moulds rarely get to grow inside my kitchen

thats very funny my freind your husband is so funny and same you are........

My mother-in-law was very frugal and lived her life never wanting to throw anything away. We learned (the hard way) that it was to our benefit to clean the fridge before she came over, for when she arrived she would try to use all of the leftovers in the fridge before she would want to cook anything else. I think she would have found a way to save some of that cheese! Being frugal is a quality to be admired, but if you are not there, it is hard to pretend it so.

I heard one time of a trainee chef who accidentally picked up a piping bag of mayonnaise when He was supposed to be doing dessert preparation..Thankfully a sharper eyed colleague spotted the goof before a customer got to try out the new combo!

Cute. It would be hard to cut the mold off shredded cheese! But we can freeze it shredded to prevent it going moldy. I love cheese and did bake a quiche this morning, with an oat flour crust and bacon, onions, and 3 kinds of cheese, plus green olives. It was yummy!

This one has become an ongoing joke between my husband and myself and also my best friend and her boyfriend. So, a couple months ago I wanted pizza for dinner and I told the kids that if they did their chores we would go and get a pizza for dinner. They didn't do their chores so they didn't get pizza, but my husband got one for he and I to share and took it in our bedroom and left it in there until the kids went to bed. Well, we thought that they were asleep and decided after eating (in the bedroom) to take part in some extracurricular activities. And the kids decided they weren't going to sleep and started knocking on our door. When they asked what we were doing, we told them that we were eating pizza. Since then that has been our code word for bedroom activities. So much so that when the kids say that they want to eat pizza all that I can do is laugh.

Scrapping the mold off of cheese is very nasty. I wouldn't even scrape the mold off of bread to eat it. I couldn't even imagine doing it to cheese that is funny that he mentioned it. I see a lot of strange things happen to food in my fridge. I have seen bowls of mold soup, bananas that have turned entirely black, or things that were there since I moved in 10 years ago lmao.

Hand scissors to husband, hand shredded cheese to husband, tell him to snip off mold of shredded cheese. Sit back, watch and laugh!
