Hello,

I just remembered a funny baking story that happened many years ago I wanted to share. It is a true story.

Many, many years ago, my mother worked very hard to make a soup. I can’t remember what kind of soup, except that it had hamburger and some other things in it. When we had dinner that night, we all didn’t like it that much, and we put in the fridge.

The next day, my mother opened the fridge to grab something to eat, when the soup spilled all over her and in front of her. We cleaned it up and saved most of the soup. I then told my mom jokingly, “Mom, the soup is cursed.”

The very next day, we were driving and decided to take the soup to a potluck, when it spilled inside the car all over the place. My mom was like, “My car! Now I have to clean it!”

I then went to her and I said, more seriously, “It’s the curse of the soup! It struck again!”

After that, it kept on spilling from many places, the fridge, the table, and more, all in a 72 hour period.

Me and my family agreed the soup was cursed, and we discarded it. We took the garbage out that day so it wouldn’t spill anymore.

The events of that week went down in my families history as the legendary “Cursed Soup.”

My sister has a nut allergy. Despite my living 30 miles from a hospital, having a little one in the house (you know they put their dirty hands everywhere) and full knowledge that we eat various nuts, she still trusts that I won’t kill her.
My mother has several hospitals nearby, and doesn’t have peanut butter anymore. She eats nuts on occasion. My sister is in danger when there.
I WIN!!!!
She was here a while ago, and was upset I didn’t have any baked goods to offer. I feel so honored that she trusts me.

Bull and Jared great stories one of my worst allergies is to the fungi family and bees anaphylactic we keep no less than three epi-pens at any time ... my worst food story was years after we had all left home Ma wanted all of us there for spaghetti she was using a home made sauce.. little did we know ... She used coke a cola in the sauce what a horrible taste we all managed to choke it down she never made it again

If we're doing funny food stories... Mine doesn't have to do with allergies... Grandma used to have a huge gathering at her house for thanks giving and Christmas. Always had turkey, ham and tons of other stuff... When she cooked turkey she would murder it. Cook it to over 200* internal temp and make it dry as a bone. One year we were home for the holiday on leave and she was having issues with the stairs so DW and I agreed to help her prepare the meal. I came prepared with my own turkey rub and herbs and aromatics for the cavity... When I cook a bbw turkey from the store I start with a really hot oven, then drop the temp after 30 minutes to about 425* and cook to an internal temp of 155* then cover with foil for about 30 minutes. Once the skin is crispy, i'll cover with a breast shield of foil... Well, everyone was complimenting her on the "best turkey ever" and as she got her second helping (she never ate more than single piece of breast meat) she told everyone I cooked it and declared that from that point on, I'd have to be home for holiday meals... For an added treat, when we cleaned up that evening we took all the bones and made a pot of turkey dumplin soup... Unfortunately, we didn't have any meat to put in it as they cleaned the turkeys to the bone.

Hey, I've stepped up the game a bit since then... Now I brine store bought turkeys with honey, salt, aromatics and herbs....

ETA: One year i brought in turkey for a company pot luck Thanks Giving... I was home and not traveling so thought it would be cool... The next year I was traveling so some of the ladies in the office wanted my recipe. It became a holiday tradition that my turkey would be on the menu.

@R2elk I know you bake a lot of family favorites, but I came across a high altitude baking webpage yesterday and thought I'd share the link in case you want to check it out:

Someone has asked me to bake them a red velvet cake so I'm going to try her recipe this weekend. (Might make more of the frosting though to cover the top.)
