It's been a while and still the aromatic smell of that food was getting more and more. I was complementing how good it smells and that they must've marinated their chicken so well to roast with that smell. That's when I blurted out, "damn that roasted chicken!" as i was starting to crave and hate the fact that we already ate dinner and it felt like a torture smelling it the whole time we were in the living room watching. Hubs was just laughing because he too admits the it smells so so good. Later on hubs went to the kitchen to get some water, then busted! He asked me if I'm cooking something and he smells like something's burning. Then it got back to my senses that I was preheating my Afritada and totally forgot about it when I sat and watched with hubs. Hubs was bursting out of laughter and said "there's your roasted chicken!, to think you're even accusing the Filipino Family downstairs of roasting such delicious smelling chicken this late at night!". Oh well good thing I put the fire very very low when I left the kitchen to make sure it won't burn without constant stirring. I hurriedly checked the pan and see if it's really burnt and good things it was just the sauce and we're still able to have the rest of the Afritada the next day.
How about you? Any cooking "blooper" experience too?
Enjoy your weekend!!

No...not yet. At least no "blooper" at your scale yet. :p
Hahahaha! Blame it on others huh? hahahah
hmmm, i do sometimes set the fire alarm off because i forgot what i was cooking and the whole house smells burnt something :)
hahaha, it happened to me few times when i put something into the oven, it will end up burnt if i've gone somewhere else doing other things.. so the lesson learnt: always stay beside your oven if it's cooking, else set yourself the alarm!! :p
hahahha the thought of someone else roasting the chicken (and in fact marinate them long) was SOOO damn funny! hahahaha
oh what a experience!LOL
I'm taking my notes about this receipt,looks delicious!
I need to confess that I'm not talent at cooking stuffs! :)
Hugs and have a blessed weekend

This dish looks delicious, Ayie! I cook without measurement, and like you I always customize it to my my taste.
The food looks great. Funny story and I'm glad your dish was still edible.
we all make mistakes occasionally. i've not encounter such situations though and hopefully it will never happen.
I don't follow the exact measurements too, Ayie. Your afritada looks so yummy.
Hahaha...this is so funny..you were smelling your own roasted chicken all the time! LOL. Luckily, your pan isn't burnt..hehe. So far, no blooper at my side yet.
Nice combination of ingredients. Good to eat with bread
Burnt or not the food looks good.
Since I am no cook, I made bloopers all the time esp because I usually don't follow the recipes to the tee. :D
