Selina said...

PaisleyJade said...

oh dear...

CurlyPops said...

Eeeek! I can smell the burning plastic from here....
Back to the craft room for you.

Liesl (Hoppo Bumpo) said...

Just a little cracked pepper thanks. And I'll have the caramelised placemat for dessert.

Purple Paisley Patch said...

It was a craft experiment, right? LOL :-)

Cath from chunkychooky said...

Shite!!!

Liam's Mummy said...

So, what happened?

I too saw your label, and thought I would check to see if there were any more entertaining posts such as this.

Are you planning more???!

beccasauras said...

I second the 'what the?' comment. I can only imagine that you put the chopping board in the oven- nah, not one's that silly, are they? heehee

Vic said...

Hehehehe.... I thought for a moment you had been dipping your toe into the field of modern art...!
(...for if you were, that would be a very acceptable piece; perhaps titled 'The Human Condition'...)

Stephanie said...

You do have a way with using your cooking things in an unconventional way. Better stick to crafting! :o) Happy New Year.

Irene ~ RE~VINTAGED said...

Hey!...wait...isn't that 'Post Post Modernist' Sculpture!!
I saw the like at the Gallery..worth a fortune....

Susan said...

"Carmelized placemat" bwahahaha!

Oh, sorry.

Um. Isn't there ANY possible way to blame this on a man? Because at my house, that would be a given. :)

Thanks for the laugh at your expense, Jodi.

alda said...

oh my gosh!...lol

Anita said...

You were being "creative"!!! LOL

Breigh said...

hahaha I melted one too! Argh, I must admit it was kind of fun playing with the plastic as it cooled off though, really weird!

Check mine out:

Happy New Year!

silverpebble said...

That IS a Nigella recipe. It's called 'melted blue jumbly hands with Sumac.' It is served with cous cous and pomegranate seeds. I can't say I've tried it though.

Joy said...

You want fries with that???? lol
Hugs,
Joy :o)

Soja said...

Oops! Well, it's only a chopping board, :-) Happy New Year! I've really enjoyed, and been inspired by, your blog - many thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Amanda

Mika said...

Been there done that...although mine was a plastic children's plate. And ahem..its been more than once so don't feel too bad!

Jackie said...

Wow, is that really what happens if you put it in the oven? By the way, why was it in there in the first place??

teresa said...

OMG does this mean you don't have to cook anymore??? Because if it does, I have a great yellow cutting board I'd like to vaporise!!!!

Lululiz said...

Ah, such a delicious smell! NOT! Tehehehe, how did that happen then?

Lucy Locket-Pocket said...

Onion sauce with mine please!

Off to make Parsley now.

The elephant, not the sauce.

Locket xxx

Hashi said...

oops

Tine said...

I am sure this dish also filled your kitchen with its unique smell?!
Oh dear.

ladydi said...

And what word popped out of your mouth when you first smelled it??

Kelly said...

Alas, I too, have BTDT. Although mine included an entire stack of dirty dishes I had tucked away to deal with later. Doh! My silverware has never been the same.

Pokey said...

Uh oh . . . .

Cathy said...

Yikes! I seem to be prone to turning on the burner the cookbook is always sitting on! LOL

WendyBee said...

I wish I had a dollar for each household item that "we" in our household have melted when turning on the wrong burner. (Why do we have things on our burners that are not meant to withstand the heat? Begs the question, doesn't it?) Let's just say that I live with my DH and 3 teenage boys, on good days, it's like living in a frat house, and on bad days, a locker room.

Griffin said...

Quick, call Doctor Who, there's a dalek got out of it's pepperpot!

I agree with Curlypops - back to the Craft room for you, young lady!!

My friend Jackie has a husband to do the cooking for her... otherwise she'd starve. I suggest you get darling daughter to cook and you do the craftwork!

Isa said...

Even though it's a mess, it actually looks pretty cool :-)

Chocolate Cat said...

Oops!!!!!

Kerri said...

OMG thats a oops

Doda said...

Ha ha ha ha ...that was entertaining!

Gillian aka Silly Gilly said...

I first thought you had created an oven baked playdough recipe or something..... oh Jod, you are a cracker!!

Brenda said...

When were you in my kitchen?

mtnchild said...

Uhhh, major Uh oh! ...but if this is the worst you do this year, it should be a marvelously creative year.

All the best for 2010

Moogsmum said...

Ha ha haaaaa! Takes me right back to Bridget Jones's blue soup!! You truly are a cullinary inspiration Mrs RicRac.

sandra said...

bet it was very tasty! and my secret word was 'mested' good word for what you did!

Leonie Guld said...

HILARIOUS!!! Reminds me of the scene in Bridget Jones Diary where she creates a beautiful blue soup with blue string!!! Hmmmmm Yummmmmeeeeee

Sarah said...

Oh no! It's THE BLOB!!! Run before it absorbs you!

Bernadette said...

Haha Jodie you are such a dag! Pity I know you are also a great cook!! When are we going to catch up for a sewing day?

posiepatchwork said...

Oh dear, sure that has happened to the best of chefs!! How frustrating to clean that up, did you have to cut the plastic from the wire?? I don't think our Army issue oven would fair so well. Love Posie

Miss Muggins said...

mmmm...toxic!

Jan said...

I think it's a given that from now on all invitations to dinner at your place will be refused! My two worst things were a plastic spatula dropping onto the dishwasher element while it was on - took ages to get rid of the pong - and do not ever make microwave salt dough; it burns and stinks the place out.Thanks for the laugh, Jodie!

Brenda @Cozy Little House said...

Now that looks like a true...blob.

Stomper Girl said...

HahaHA! As someone who once melted the 1/4 teaspoon magnetic measure (which means I can't measure 1/4 teaspoons any more, SO annoying) I sympathise, but also want to know if, like me, you smelt the burning plastic toxic smell, but failed to act on it for another 5-10 minutes because your brain couldn't quite compute what it could possibly be, by which time it was all Too Late.

I Purr-Furr to Craft said...

And i thought i was a bad cook!, lol, I don't know where to start! the event or the posts! all are just great. I agree, Forget the kitchen, back to the craft room where you belong. Love you. LOL

Sharon said...

LOL! I hope the fumes and smell was not too much with that little accident.
What a way to start the new year!

Calidore said...

I'm trying not to giggle. Honest I am!!!

Actually at first I thought it was just your way of creating something new and wonderful and you were giving us sneak peeks.....roflmol.

Marci said...

Once I roasted the plastic handle of a knife right in with the chicken. It was a swirly black similar mess. We still ate a lot of the chicken though! Probably poisoned the whole family!

Sharon (Stitches on Mars) said...

Hi jodie,
I did something similar at work once...forgot to turn off the steriliser oven...it was on for the whole week-end. Still at least it didn't burn the place down. Lucky me huh LOL

Sharon (Stitches on Mars) said...

oops forgot to say happy New Year
Hugs,Sharon

Robyn said...

Oh Jodie!!

Well I love your label and there's my first real belly laugh of 2010!!
What's next? giggle...

Thanks for the laugh!

clare's craftroom said...

Was the air as blue as the (used to be) board ?

Mary said...

That made me feel a little queasy!

I'll just have another beer!

deb said...

That's a fantastic looking alien blob. It even has a mouth.

Also don't hide gifts in the oven thinking no one will look in there because no one cooks with the oven. Eventually, someone will ...

kelly said...

Sigh. I've done the exact same thing. Mine was purple. This brings back memories -- thanks for sharing your pain. :)

Meanwhile, it's a lesson you only have to learn once. I've never stored anything in the oven since!

Happy New Year!

Simone de Klerk said...

Gelukkig Nieuw Jaar!!!
Looks a bit like the blue soup Brigit made in Brigit Jones Diaries (O:

Kerryanne English said...

I don't think the kids will come at eating blue chopping board. I heard they only like the pink ones!!

juanita de la vega said...

Nice blue! he heee! Happy New Year!

Michael said...

Don't you just LOVE the aroma of melted plastic in the morning!? Its a wonder you weren't asphixiated (sp?) in the process!

zigwicks said...

Hilarious!!!

Elizabeth said...

Yum...

Leanne said...

Ha HA did the same thing with a knife and because I am such a domestic goddess and have such a clean oven couldn't see it hiding up the back of the oven. Ever time I used the oven I got this horrid smell after a few times decided reluctantly to clean the oven(not my most fav job) and found the blade and a pile of black plastic. Shame though it was one of my fav knives.

Larissa said...

OH my word. just the fumes alone must have nearly asphyxiated you. I once melted an aluminum pot in college. Also I have cooked a plastic spoon, and you wouldn't believe the nauseating smell. Just thinking about it makes my stomach roll. I probably lost quite a few brain cells that I couldn't afford to lose. Sorry about the oven.
