They have an avocado drink in Indonesia (Java). It comes with a layer of chocolate, and you mix it. It’s intriguing and pretty, but it was way to thick and gooey for me. The local people LOVE this drink.

I’m so late commenting here (I only recently found your site). You are a brave woman for posting your recipe flops. I usually bury my failed recipes deep in a file called “You are a Pastry Chef So Why Did You Make This Crap?” And there are plenty of failures because I like to play with classic recipes just to see what happens!

Although they must have been frustrating as they were happening, I love how you can look back and recognize the humor in your baking failures. Better yet, you know which recipes you want to try again and which recipes you want to bury in a deep hole in the backyard. Thanks for sharing your “flops,” for admitting that not every recipe will be a “winner,” and for encouraging all of us to keep at it!

LOL I can not tell you how many times I have tasted and tasted something, knowing FULL WELL that it was not good enough to do anything with or share with anyone, and that I did not really want to eat it… and it’s doubly bad because afterwards you don’t even feel like the calories were *worth* anything. Geez. It’s one of the (few) curses of baking, I suppose. Thanks for sharing :)

Here is my tutorial on scones: http://syrupandhoney.typepad.com/blog/2009/07/scones.html
This isn’t the food network my friend, we’re all messing up stuff in the kitchen all over the place! My next post is actually going to be about some banana bread I completely screwed up but can’t figure out how. Seriously, banana bread?

[...] people won’t post up pictures of their failed attempts in the kitchen, but reading one of my favourite food blogger’s post on HER failures made me feel a little less bad about myself. I mean, she’s like a professional baker and me, [...]

Opps forgot to say that lemonade and cream scones are easy and taste the best http://shadowfoot.com/recipe/lemonade-scones . Also the best possible flop you can have which happens quite literally is when a Pavlova falls :( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlova_%28food%29 .
