Blueberries on the Ceiling: Hiliarious Stories of Kitchen Mishaps

“Blueberries on the Ceiling” is your chance to write about your most disatrous (and hopefully hilarious) kitchen mishap. As someone who cooks a lot, I love telling kitchen horror stories and then hearing what went wrong in other kitchens as well. It makes us all feel more human, dontcha think? I mean, no one’s perfect, and as far as I’m concerned, if we’re going to be making mistakes, we should take the opportunity to laugh at them! Did you set the top of a crisp on fire and then dump a gallon of water into your broiler to put it out? Maybe you accidentally dumped an entire cup and a half of sea salt into an otherwise perfect mushroom pasta minutes before company arrived. Oh wait, that was me…. ehhhh… Anyway, I’m sure you’ve done something similarly ridiculous, so fess up!

Here’s how you participate:

1. Write a short story about something hilarious and disastrous that happened in your kitchen. The length of the post doesn’t matter, but see if you can include a somewhat relevant picture so people have something colorful to look at while reading your post.

2. Post your story between now and Sunday, June 15, and please include a link back to the event posting on my blog so that other people can read about the event!

3. Send me the link to your post so that I can compile a list of all the entries and pick a winner! All entries can be sent to: caitlin.larussa (at) gmail (dot) com.

*EDIT: There will be a prize for the winner of this event!! I don't want to completely spill the beans, but the person with the most hilarious and ridicuolous kitchen disaster will win one of my favorite books about a certain someone's incredible adventures in many kitchens.
