I’m just going to come out and say it—are those rolls vomiting? What a scary thing to come home to, unless it’s Halloween. If that’s the case, then these spewing faces might be just what the kids ordered. Kudos to the cook who made them, this picture made my day with a good laugh. Thanks for sharing!

On one hand, it’s nice to be left a note by your spouse or partner. On the other hand, now you have to replace a cutting board and an electric burner. At the end of the day though, it’s nice to know that you’re loved.

I love sushi but don’t have the stomach (literally) to try making it. This though, I could handle!

“Sushi Chef Level: Beginner”

This could be an ad for Birds’n’Blocks. In the game, the birds are stuck and can’t fly because of their small wings. This is a true testament to the power of yeast…and of baking in small pans.

These eggs are out of this world! I know a couple of ten-year-olds who would be delighted with this kind of after school snack invasion. I still can’t believe the eggs fell just in the right spot to make that perfect slit of a creepy alien mouth!!

According to the cook, this is caramel. It looks like Frodo took the pan and scooped up some of the fires of Mount Doom! Good thing this didn’t happen in a small space, can you imagine coming home to a volcano?

“I forgot I was making caramel at work. It’s a tad overcooked.”

This loaf of bread is a little spooky! It looks like something straight out of the Harry Potter series. I can just imagine Dumbledore having a bad day, and teaching this badly behaved baker a lesson!

Not that I advocate for babies being mistaken as or associated with demons, but this creation is just too creepy to call it anything else. What’s up with the eyes, is that where the fat leaked out! Aaahhhh!

It’s hard to believe this started out as something edible! These look like pieces of charcoal, ready to be lit to cook food on—not the product of already cooked food. Oh well, that’s what the drive-through is for!

“RIP my electric bill”

Woah, how is this possible? Have heard of InstaPots exploding, but this lid looks like it’s from a regular old saucepan. This is crazy, I have never seen anything like this. I am chalking it up to a very hot stove and a very soft ceiling!

This pizza looks like an inverted mushroom cloud. Were those veggie toppings? I think I see some olives in there. This is when you hope it’s a self-cleaning oven.

Maybe it’s the Bride of Frankenstein’s iconic hair that triggered this headline. I can just see the pot growing legs and walking. This person had a more practical idea:

“Maybe we should buy a rice cooker.”

Oh, this is scary! I know I wouldn’t want to come home to that… talk about taking “worrying about the house while you’re at work” to a whole new level! Really though, easy mistake. Turn the gas stove on too high, the flame gets too big, and poof. Pasta fire.

“This is why I don’t cook.”

It looks like Sponge Bob got a little soggy in the ocean there. I think we can all agree to blame Squidward. Regardless, this baker has an excellent sense of humor.

“Happy birthday!”

There have got to be some interesting chemicals floating around that kitchen from all the burned plastic! I have also mistaken those weird plastic plans for glass, well almost. Watch out!

“I thought it was glass”

Umm… normally I am all about developing new talents and creative skills like cooking, but we might need to find a new aspiration for this chef. That is a seriously burnt kitchen. I think it’s safe to say the flavor of these wings turned out “fire” hot!

“First time trying to fry buffalo wings. I think it went pretty well.”

This looks like some kind of foreign alien life specimen from Doctor Who. Next thing you know, it they will try mind control on you and start to move! This photo really makes you think twice about eating those things.

“My wife steamed hotdogs.”

I call this the “Rupunzel got a bad haircut” dish. Yum! It’s puzzling how the pasta seems cooked, but somehow is so stuck to the bottom of the pan?

“one of my roommates tried to make pasta one night … first attempt = FAIL”

I’d like to think that all the Gatsby characters would be delighted to have some cake, but I have a feeling that Jay Gatsby’s hopes would be dashed. I, however, would be happy to have this cake any day, it’s an American classic!

There is nothing as great as recounting fond memories of middle-of-the-night ice cream runs, having a heated discussion with your co-workers about what did and did not qualify as food in those days…good times. Excellent news for these students though, I saw some pans at the dollar store last week!

“Cooking in college”

I am not sure whether to laugh or cry. Who left the note—the baker or the boyfriend?

“Boyfriend had big deadline. I tried to help. I failed.”

I don’t know about you, but I would be on the phone, VERY UPSET with whoever installed those cabinets. I swear, it wasn’t me, it was the cabinets! This looks like a serious pizza night. And ice cream. And wine.

Reserved for bad little boys, bad little girls, and bad little kids! Actually, this mom was just preoccupied with taking care of her sweet kids. Look at these cute little cut-outs, they would have been great! It happens to the best of us.

“I got distracted! Can’t imagine why with 2 kids!”

Really though, they are. I can just imagine this sweet dad looking our for his kids, wanting to make their day. Don’t worry, you’ll get it next time!

“Had to post this. My friend’s husband wanted to make Gingerbread cookies for his kids…he didn’t know he was supposed to remove the cookie cutters before baking! Love it!”

I am not really sure what to say here. My inner child really wants to love this. Like, really wants to love this. After all, it’s a rainbow and it’s macaroni and cheese. I just don’t know if I can make the stretch here!

“Girlfriend sent me a pic of her family’s dinner- rainbow Mac and cheese”

I always try to salvage macaroni and cheese mistakes. Maybe frost it like a pretend cake? I’m not sure a save will work in this case!

“So I asked my girlfriend to cook macaroni and cheese last night…”

Hey, just be thankful that she cooked! Or attempted…

This one kind of speaks for itself.

“Came home to my fiance cooking the cookie dough out of our ice cream..”

Sometimes I actually wish I could get this kind of rise out of my homemade whole grain bread. This must contain some serious yeast! Look on the bright side, it’s kind of like two loaves instead of just one?

It’s probably already a bad day if a jar of chocolate is being microwaved. Or, maybe that dang metal lid just wouldn’t come off. Either way, this looks like a bad explosion. Turn down the tears, turn on some Boom Face, and turn up the dance moves!

Can you imagine! I’m not sure if I can tell how this even happened. Is that a log in the oven? This kitchen just went nuclear. I am going to imagine a supportive spouse or partner rubbing the feet of whatever cook experienced this. Take heart brave chef, the turkey and mashed potatoes don’t look radioactive!

That will give you a heart attack. Ether way, come home to this, I feel some heart palpitations. I am cooking and this happened, I feel some heart palpitations. I mean, what actually happened here? It’s all been left to the imagination since the cook cleaned up the burned mess!

I never thought toaster fires were actually a real thing until I saw this photo. If this happened to me, I would be seriously disappointed—I love toast. I do think it says something about the times though, that’s it’s a grab for the camera before the extinguisher.

So, this isn’t the Keto diet…not Atkins, not low carb, not the raw diet, definitely not a cleanse… Only the cook knows where this idea came from!

A frightening fog machine? A humungous humidifier? Some serious steam? According to this Imstagram-mer, it’s accidental dry ice in the sink! Add a couple of decorations, some costumes, and candy, and October 31st is all ready to go.

What a let down. Who put on Reddit that you could make self-freezing coke slushies? That’s just mean. I admit I would have wanted to give it a go, it just sounds so promising!

“Reddit suggested how to make “Self Freezing Slushies”. Tried it, heard a loud ‘bang’ in the kitchen and came to find this . . .”

So you’ve been out all day, running errands, and haven’t cracked open that yummy homemade smoothy you took out with you that morning. Won’t make that mistake twice!

“It’s risky to travel with #kefir smoothies, because they continue to ferment when not refrigerated. When I popped the top off of my thermos: BANG!!!”

The post said:

“How to get out of cooking dinner”

Yep, that’ll do it.

* If it’s a grease fire, remember, water won’t work!

That is a french saying that translates as: “it’s the end of beans”. Enjoy this wonderfully French plated refried bean tower, complete with garnish and reduction sauce. Note the chef, I’m impressed! I usually only get a half a can of the beans out intact.

“Canned refried bean stack avec tacobell Fire reduction, fresh summer dwarf basil greens”

That would seem like a good idea, to quickly microwave the vegetable. No matter how promising an appliance, spaghetti squash is not to be trifled with. Lesson learned.

“Well crap… That didn’t go as planned.”

That’s a big bird. I think it was a little too plump for the glass pan? What a bummer to have to toss out the whole thing, on account of the glass. I hope whoever was coming home that night was bringing dinner!

Here we have a special delicacy. A premium grade, whole grain bread bowl, with tasty and delectable tomato soup. A bright and filling note to your humdrum day. Topped with strings of shredded cheese.

“Homemade soup in a bread bowl”

Well…it’s clear that we have some Cheerios, some canned green beans, and I am going to guess this dish also includes the trusted casserole staple—cream of mushroom soup. I would seriously put some salt on that.

“Roommate made this mysterious “casserole” last night.”

Not sure exactly what happened here. But yeah, they’re probably not getting the security deposit back.

“Cooking level: not getting the security deposit back”

I haven’t been pregnant (yet, hopefully), but it looks like I have a lot to look forward to! Is this a common problem? The only product I know of that is strong enough to do that, is a Vitamix. That blender part was Vita-split!

“#blenderfail…#caniblameitonpregnancybrain”

Well, here, you’ll see that this meringue has exploded. Don’t tell Paul Hollywood or Mary Berry. It looks like The British Baking Show is down another potential contestant.

Tonight on the menu we have:

“Raw ground beef, infused with frozen champagne and shards.”

This will put a damper on your celebration plans! That plan to turn champagne into a lovely chilled treat has failed—yet again.

I think we’ll let McDonald’s handle this one. Let’s just pretend this never happened. This is a very wise quote indeed.

“Man created takeaways for a reason”

This is all you need after a long day! I hope someone swoops in and cleans this up for this cook. And then treats them to a nice dinner!

“Not looking forward to cleaning that up!”

Well, it was already a pizza and fish sticks kind of night, and then this happened. If your frozen foods don’t work out, there is always delivery.

“cooking skills level: expert ✓ (pizza and fish sticks)”

Don’t fret, this is not spit-up, throw-up, or any other kind of ick. Just:

“New England style Clam Chowder.”

It’s just unfortunate that this happened on brown carpet. Another testament to soups needing to be kept at the table.
