Though I say it myself, I’m a brilliant cook. No recipe books for me, delicious concoctions come naturally.
I visited the market this morning. It was just closing so there wasn’t much left. No problem though, I can create mouth-watering dishes from pretty well anything.
I got a plump melon, this stinky garlic, those eye-watering onions, some of that asparagus that makes your wee smell, and this, whatever it is. Oh, and these. Not sure what they are either.
And we’re off!
Cut this, chop that, blend those, sizzle, boil, bubble, mix, mash and serve. Yea!
OMG! That is simply …
disgusting!
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Roger Bultot for the picture.

The story of my cooking endeavours there, which is why I find it best to leave it to others! 🙂
Having cooked for a living for many years I should have done better! Cheers Iain.
That reminds me of a high school dance where a bunch of guys were manning the drinks station. They were mixing all the soda flavors together to see what they could come up with. Garbage.
I can imagine!
Ran out of words? Or no words can describe it? At any rate, a luscious tale.
I suspect your guests better run out, too, when you’re in the kitchen. 😉
it was definitely indescribable! Thanks Christine.
Definitely food for thought.
…but not for concumption! Cheers Anthony.
Loved the breathless pace of this story and then you socked me with an ending that made me laugh out loud! Thanks, Keith.

Just as I hoped! Thanks so much, Susan.
Sounds like my sort of cooking. 😂
Some can, some can’t! Cheers Sadje.
I know. I make do but not a chef
They didn’t gel together! 🙂
Concoctions and such experiments are fine as long as the results are palatable!
Chefs do come up with some very odd combinations of ingredients – I should know as I used to be one!
Well, you did use a recipe, Keith; a recipe for disaster 😉
Very true Doug!
Unknown ingredients, hmm, not a great idea!
Fun story, Keith
Worth a try – though on second thoughts! Cheers CE.
I’m sure Rosey would be happy to burn your boiled eggs
Don’t start me on Rosey’s culinary exoloits!
Funny! I made a soup like that once, truly foul!!
At least you had a go!
I’ve made soup since, but with the power of the mind rather than just throwing everything and anything in! It’s boss!
Froggie can come over for dinner (not so disgusting) as long as he promises to behave … 😉
That’s kind, I’ll let him know!
Sure thing. He can even go outside for some bug-dessert.
I guess “the brilliant cook” will need to eat humble pie tonight, at the very least.
Randy
…ready-made humble pie from a shop preferably!
Great gruel gravy! Laughed but lost my appetite 😉
A perfect name for that dish!
Well, like I always say, it was worth a try! A bit of this and a bit of that and you never know what you’re going to get. Often, my end result is … disgusting … as well. Fun story as always, Keith!
The most unlikely blend of bits sometimes come up with fabulous food – not often though! Thanks, Brenda.
Such a shame, great dicing and chopping all for nout, as they say but a lovely kick in the pants at the end.
You’ve summed it up perfectly Mike!
The best and worst recipes start that way, don’t they. Problem is, you aren’t sure ahead which one it will be when you start.
Absolutely! A lot of experimenting goes on I’m sure. Cheers, Mimi.
Oh, And about that lunch on Friday……
I’ll try harder Violet!
Market the concoction as a cure for Corona fever 🙂 It will sell.
What a brilliant idea!
Dear Keith,
Some days the magic works and some days it doesn’t. 😉 This sounds like my method of cooking. Bon apetit.
Shalom,
Rochelle
You shouldn’t have mashed it.
You could be right! Next time…!
Well, to be fair, he didn’t have a lot to work with 🙂 Onion and garlic mash with a melon base…
That’s my excuse! Cheers draliman.
Keith, you only made one mistake – you forgot to season your dish…
Of course! How did I forget that?
some live to cook. some live to eat. 🙂
…and some both! Thanks plaridel.
Great stuff. Clearly you have the same inflated belief as a cook as my sister. Do you know her?
You mean there are two of us? Cheers James.
Very droll tale — made me smile. Brought back memories of making a vegetable pie in Domestic Science. As the filling looked like sick I disposed of it in the school toilets !!
In that case I feel sorry for the toilet! Thanks WWM
You made me laugh, thank you!
Good!!! Thank you.
Fun. Keep experimenting. Eventually, you’ll stumble on something delicious. If your taste buds survive.
I just think they need to adapt! Cheers.
Too funny. Brilliant.
Really kind of you, thanks.
This made me laugh Keith. There’s optimism and then there’s optimism. I’ve got to be honest, it doesn’t sound very appetizing or as my daughter would have said when going through one of her phases, “‘sgusting!”
…love that word!Thanks so much Michael.
Made me giggle this morning Keith! Good one!
I hoped it might! Thanks Russell.
LOL It takes some skill to cook without a net
Indeed it does!
When you don’t know what it is, it’s better to leave it.
Wise words sir!
Brilliant 😀
Thank you Colline!
I just started blogging. Loved reading such good stuff!
