Blogger: Now More Than Ever - Manage Posts: "Last Sat. Nights Meal Disaster! Last Sat. Nights Meal Disaster!

So it was my turn to host the meal, and well it did not go so good! On the menu was Tongue Tantilizing Pork Sandwiches with Slaw, Tyler Florence's Ultimate Mac n' Cheese, and for the dessert Caramelized Banana Bread Drop Doughnuts. It all sounds good but the pork was supposed to be in the oven for about 2 and a half hours and it was but it was still really pink inside so we put it back in and cranked the heat up. In the mean time we were all starving so we decided to have the mac while we waited...yeah not the best Mac n Cheese! It strangely had very little flavor for all the flavorful stuff we put in it, so we ended up putting extra salt and Parmesan Cheese. Then we pulled the pork out of the oven and it still wasn't cooked all the way through! So frustrating!!! We cut it into smaller chunks and gave it another whirl. Left it about a half hour and took it out and started shredding it and thats when I realized why it took so long...it was double the weight it was supposed to be! We finally get everything ready and sit down to eat (9 o'clock or so) and it was sooo spicy! It had like 3 or 4 different kins of peppers an 2 kinds of hot sauce so it was to be expected but still man it was HOT! :) We get started on the dessert and had trouble with how hot the oil needed to be so the first couple were really crispy on the outside and very doughy inside. The next ones were heavy with grease ew! I don't think in the end that we even cared we were so disgusted or at least I was:) So now today we try again...
