Did you ever try to improvise with a recipe, and it went weird?

We swapped water for bourbon in the meat marinate. Turned out great. Also used to order more pizza than we needed on Saturday night, usually a "works" style. Sunday morning I would scramble a batch of eggs and scrape the toppings off into the eggs. That was good, too.

erj_pilotI had this hankering one night for Rigatoni with a creamy mushroom, sun-dried tomato type sauce. I had fresh shrooms, but wasn't working from a recipe and thought, "Hell...you can put enough cream, Parmesan, and Romano on ANYTHING and it'll be fine". WRONG!!! I don't know what the hell I did, but the spice and ingredient combination was absolutely HORRIBLE. Could only stand about 3 bites and had to toss it all.

mr kablammoCup 'o Noodles made with quinine water. Yuck.
Nacho chips made with brie cheese. Seemed like a good idea after five beers.

GWbikerMeat Loaf made with Pork and Beef from a recipe taken from a well know cook book.
Ended up so greasy that GF and I had heart burn for nearly a week.
But, it tasted good.

oddballBack in college, I used to make spaghetti for the guys with tomato sauce and paste, spaghetti sauce seasoning pack, italian sausage, and dried noodles. Super easy and decent tasting. One night I decided to use lamb chunks found in the fridge instead of sausage; chopped it up finely and used it in the sauce. It was nasty, nobody finished their plate.

gpbst3A buddy and I bought a case of Blue Moon beer and we stopped in an unfamiliar grocery store to get an orange. When we left I thought to myself that was an expensive orange. Turned out we brought a grapefruit, Blue Moon and grapefruit do not pair well.
