Grocery Ninja: Yujacha, Korean Yuzu Tea
i couldn't survive winter without this magical stuff. i drink it to stay warm and fight off colds but most of all, because it is so sweet and citrusy that it makes me think of summer. i never thought about baking with it - have to try that soon

Tried to grill a pizza. The dough was to thick so the outside was burnt and the inside was not cooked.

It wasn't funny to me but to everybody else. While grilling the grill fell over on my feet. I wound up with a grill full of meat and coals on my bare feet.

About the worst thing I did was one time I put some chicken on the grill and then went inside to let it cook. I sat down and proceeded to fall asleep and slept for about 3 hours. I woke up and could smell the burned chicken outside. The chicken was no longer recognizable, it looked like a grill full of hockey pucks almost.

Ugh. I was trying to grill salmon. Well, I didn't know that everything basically falls apart near the end...so let's just say the humans didn't have salmon that night, and the briquettes did.

My mishap was even attempting to grill and having flames shoot up.

Once I left the food on the grill too long and it burned.

The funniest thing that I ever tried to grill was a cornish hen on a very small hibachi. I cooked it so long that there was no soft meat to eat. Even the bones of the small bird were burnt to a crisp. The vegetables turned out okay, so that is all that we had to dine on. But, it was a memorable disasterous grilling experience.

I would say this is our failies funniest or worst grilling mishap. And you can blame it on my husband. We live an hour from my College Alma Mater so we like to go tailgate during football season. The first game of the season we were all pumped up to go we loaded up our car with all our grilling neccessities, our chairs, our tent, our cooler with the marinated meats and wings. Well low and behold we get there and unload the car. My deareast husband forgot to load the most important part THE WEBER! (rolling eyes) Thank goodness it was a College town with friendly folks. Our tailgating neighbors offered to let us use their grill. Unfortunately it came at the cost of sharing our delicious bar-b-q wings.

I love to grill chicken that's been marinated in pineapple juice so I once suggested that pineapple would be a great marinade for beef. Well, it's not. I soaked it for maybe 48 hours which was far too long and the beef came out incredibly tough.

One time I BBQd several burgers and put them on a plate on a picnic table. I ran inside for just a minute to get the other food, and when I came out the burgers were already gone! The dog had jumped onto the picnic table and helped herslef to the entire plate of burgers!
Thank you for the cookbook giveaway.

We went camping --I took the kids down to play in the water---while my husband put the steaks on the grill--when we came back from our swim my husband had decided to put the grill on top of the huge igloo plastic cooler that was filled with ice and all our other food. We smelled the toxic fumes before we could see our camp--the grill of course melted the cooler and ruined all our food---even the steaks tasted toxic------not one of my husbands best moments.

I remember the first time I tried I put the BBQ sauce on before the meat was on the grill and the sauce was so sugary the sauce burned before the meat cooked.

I burned many a meals on the grill before I finally learned how to use one. My worst time was when I burned my hand pretty bad trying to light up once.

I tried to grill tomatoes - I left them for what felt like seconds, came back, and they were a slimy mess stuck the grill in mushy pieces - ah, well.

The first time my husband and I tried to make ribs, we charred them so badly even the dog wouldn't eat them.

The expensive tenderloin that we bought was "overexposed" on the grill and became chewy and dry; an ugly meal it was!

Hmmm...I don't really have any funny mishaps. I have been known to somehow manage to let food slip past through the grate and into the coals though.

I can be dumb, at times when I'm grilling. Last year, I didn't pay enough attention to the grill, it caught fire and nearly burnt the house down. Happily, the local fire department came to me rescue.

I can't be the only one stupid enough to singe the hair on my arm and hand while lighting the gas grill! Maybe I'm the only one smart enough to live and tell.

Is it funny to undercook chicken and then serve it to a house full of guests?

In the hot summers of the San Joaquin Valley in CA...you do not want to spend too much time sweating over the grill. When I grill, it's usually food for the week....a tri-tip, maybe a marinated pork loin, chicken and of COURSE....hot dogs. Also, this time I had corn on the cob, potatoes...my huge grill was packed!!! You can guess the disaster....ran out of propane. Had to cook all the food in the oven. Hot house!!!

I usually leave the grilling to someone else...though I'm still trying to work out the timing on veggies for the grill pan, the past couple of times I've combined things that have very different cook times which results in either undercooked or charred.

It was really a "near" mishap - my husband was going to put sliced mushrooms on the grill, but as he started to pour them on, he thought, hmmm, what's going to keep them from falling through the grates? And this is a smart man! Good thing he remembered that grill pan he got for Father's Day!
