What to do with brownie jerky

[JaganshiKenshin]

OK, the jerky wasn't on purpose.       We baked brownies in a new silicone pan and couldn't tell when they were done and ended up frosting them anyway.

Nobody likes brownie jerky.

So what we did was cut the jerky, icing and all, into small bits, then dumped it in a bowl with yogurt (any flavor), sour cream, and Kool Wip.  Mixed and refrigerated.

Brownie jerky re-hydrated.  A new dessert was born.

 

Anyone have similar stories of ' disaster food rescues?'

As long as it wasn't burnt, just pretend they are extra crispy cookies....

This is gross, and I hate to admit it, but since I didn't make it or eat it I'm gonna tell it.  We had all gone to my mom's cousin Judy's house for dinner (not sure, but it might have been Thanksgiving).  While my dad and Judy's husband were busy watching a football game, my mom and Judy were busy in the kitchen cooking.  At some point, it was discovered that Judy's flour was infested with weevils.  However, they secretly (thank God I was in the room) decided to go ahead and make the dinner biscuits anyway.  I am sure that they did not eat them, but the men never noticed (musta thought it was pepper LOL).  I was forever traumatized by this.   

But maybe that's not the kind of food recovery story you had in mind.

My family and I once had dinner at a friends house where there were many families present. many of the adults were  sitting drinking wine, beer, etc and chatting,  waiting for the food to be warmed  that people brought. After a while we started smelling burning plastic. The odor was overwhelming.

A young newlywed wife had taken an entree  in plasticware and put it into the regular oven . As my wife and several other ladies were trying to clean the oven of burnt plastic, the young girl commented: "well, that's so strange that it would melt like that. I heat things in our microwave with it all the time."
