Worst food disaster I ever had was weapons-grade cookies, BUT a female relative-years ago- cooked her first turkey WITHOUT removing the bag with neck and giblets.She didn’t even know there was one. Then she PACKED the bird with bread stuffing. All looked ok until we heard a ‘BOOF’ and opened the oven to see a bony carcass with ALL turkey meat and stuffing stuck to the oven walls. That thing exploded like there was C4 in it. Hysterical.

Once I volunteered to make cookies. Somehow quadrupled the butter. I thought it was strange that the recipe seemed to call for way more butter than every other ingredient combined, but hey, what do I know? End result was not very appealing.

I've since been retired from anything more intricate than potato peeling at family gatherings.

GREAT story! I remember my grandmother, not a great cook, coming out of the kitchen after having baked a layer cake. She had a layer in her hand and was bending it back and forth as if it was rubber. And laughing her head off.
