It sounds delicious. An easy recipe too, but it’s not tasting very good.
I’ll chuck in some salt … eeeek, mistake. Tip in some sugar … oops, too much! Pepper might help … aaachoooo! How about vinegar and tomato sauce?
I can’t serve this, it’s disgusting. My mates’ll be here soon, where’s my phone?
Good, here’s the delivery guy. Now to personalise this take-out so they’ll think I made it!
Add salt, sugar, pepper – aaachoooo – vinegar, tomato sauce, slop it all in a dish and now it’s definitely like one of my creations!
“Hi guys, welcome! Sorry about the smell and the mess and …. everything!”

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and for providing the photo.

Dear Keith,
I feel my stomach turning. Best they all call for take out.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Mine did whilst writing it! Hard to believe I used to cook for a living! Cheers Rochelle.
I must confess, Keith, that I love your frog-chef even more than your story. 🙂
But here’s a tip for future feasts: it’s best to personalize a take-out by putting an olive or a parsley spring on top. Something removable.
The frog took far longer to do than the story. Thanks for the tip, you really are the queen of presentation!
Sounds like Rosey’s cooking again?
Now that’s something you don’t want to experience!
Haha, I hope the friends were suitably impressed
Let’s say they were polite about it! Cheers Sadie.
🙏
Sounds delicious indeed, like something I could create in the kitchen!
Haha! You should apply for Masterchef Iain!
Haha! Hope the drinks are flowing freely, . . . you know, to wash it all down!
They certainly need to be! Thanks Dora.
How did you manage to catch my MIL???? Great story.
Not telling! Cheers Bear.
Ha ha – I’m glad I’m not one the dinner guests!
p.s. I love your cartoon – did you draw it?

I bet you are! Thanks Susan, I made the picture on a photo editing suite using stickers and Clipart images – it took hours!
A legend in his own lunchtime
Perfectly summed up Neil!
A picture of mayhem in the kitchen, I recommend ready meals…
In this case I’d agree! Cheers Michael.
I like that approach to cooking: just keep adding things until they reach taste equilibrium. 🙂
Knowing when to stop is important though! Thanks David.
Hahaha! Ummm… you were a former restaurateur, n’est-ce pas? Too funny. I’ll um… pass
I am Dale! Can’t believe you’ve not been tempted.
Well, to be polite, I’ll take a bite…
I’d appreciate that!
Pleasure….
Cute story. I thought…he should have thrown a potato in it.
Why didn’t I think of that? Cheers Sascha
Cooking under pressure – thank goodness for the delivery. (Which he made himself of course, after all they love his cooking).
Just a shame used the same added extras that ruined his first effort! Cheers James.
Great that he has friends who accept his invitations 🙂
Real friends! Cheers Reena.
A fun story, Keith, but the froggy pic at the end is the best 🙂
I’m pleased you like him Linda, thanks so much.
Too funny! Fun take 🙂
That’s so kind of you, thanks.
Hi Keith – I thought your culinary skills were better than this?! – must have changed characters … awful thoughts here … yugh! All the best for the weekend … Hilary
Actually Hilary, cooking is my greatest joy! Thanks Hilary, have a nice one too.
Don’t mean to be rude, old chap, but is there anything you’re good at?
(Apart from froggy pictures!)
errrr…no!
That’s a good plan, ruin the takeaway just enough to make it appear home-made 🙂
Love this week’s froggy!
Exactly! Thanks Ali.
it looks like he was trying so hard he needed to relax. 🙂
Absolutely, poor soul!
Oh my gosh, what a creation LOL!
I believe there’s some left over if you fancy a taste!
I will pass thanks! 🙂
Oh dear. I’d like to say bon appetit, but no guarantees. Cute cheffy froggy Keith!
You can say it, but I think you’d be wasting your words! Thanks so much.
You’re very welcome.
Ha! Ha! Best cooking tip ever. Loved that frog too.
Thanks all round subruto!
Oh dear. Please don’t invite me for dinner, Keith – my heart would break!
Are you sure I can’t tempt you?
He must be doing something right if his friends keep coming back.
I wonder what that might be? Cheers Nobbin.
Success… they won’t believe that it’s takeout.
Absolutely so, but I bet they wish it was!
Fun story! I also like the frog chef.
Thanks so much!
Bahahaha oh dear. Hilarious Keith
Oh dear indeed! Cheers Laurie.
Oh my… I hope it all turns out okay but I have a feeling it won’t. Made me grin at the end, mostly because I know I am a terrible cook and I feel for the guy.
I wouldn’t build your hopes up! Join the club!
Hope the delivered dish didn’t get ruined 🙂 🙂
Smart recipe!
I know of some people who pretend so!
Sadly I fear it ended up exactly like the one he made!
