But if it was really gross the dogs would get it ( lucky them!! Lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-355203 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:53:52 +0000 sandy 355203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it is really terrible I will usually toss it bc yucky leftovers are the worst. I usually will eat peanut butter and jelly toast or cheese and crackers as a back up meal. This hasn't happened in a long time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-355196 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:43:43 +0000 BSB 355196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH usually eats it. He's my human garbage disposal. </p> <p>If it's horrible, I put it in the fridge and try it in the morning. Sometimes food gets better as it sits.</p> <p>If not, I'll toss it in a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-355193 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:39:20 +0000 banana 355193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's disgusting, I'll throw it away and make something fast and easy, like ramen noodles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-355144 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:31:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 355144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @alphagam84: @adnama: @Baby Boy Mom: I don't eat cereal :(<br /> And we were out of eggs!! I found some leftovers from the other day. Nothing special :-P<br /> We'll see what DH thinks when he tastes it lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-355119 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:15:26 +0000 Grace 355119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That happened to me tonight! I made Roasted Herbed Sausage and Butternnut Squash today. It roasted too long and the butternut squash was so mushy. Gross. I ate the sausage out of it and asked DH to take it away. I pretend that it didn't just go in the garbage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-355083 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:50:56 +0000 alphagam84 355083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cereal! But I try to make myself eat the dinner as long as its not terrible, hate to waste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-355068 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:45:26 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 355068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>subway or cereal! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-355016 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:18:19 +0000 pinkcupcake 355016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently tried making a soup that turned out absolutely horrible. Since it didn't have any garlic or onions, I gave some to our golden retriever, who didn't think it was as bad as I did :) </p> <p>@artbee: Ew! At our old apartment, we had so many of those teeny tiny bugs in our pantry. It was so gross. I couldn't figure out why, because the apartment itself was pretty new and in great condition. Plus I'm super clean and OCD. I had to throw away everything in the pantry but the bugs STILL came back. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354928 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:33:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 354928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It only happened once that it was so bad I can't eat it (slow cooker completely and totally burned all the chicken) so we ordered pizza from the place down the street (walking distance, bonus). Otherwise I'll suffer through it for one serving and maybe not save the rest. Or more likely, but the rest in the fridge, never want it, and toss it after it sits there for a week or two. I'm gross.</p> <p>In your situation, sounds like a cereal or scrambled eggs for dinner kind of night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354906 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:26:05 +0000 heffalump 354906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dinner wasn't great tonight either, but it was edible. Recently I made meatloaf with oatmeal in it and after already putting the oatmeal in it I realized the oatmeal had lots of teeny tiny bugs in it. It was a brand new unopened box too. Obviously I tossed it and we went out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354905 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:24:49 +0000 Arden 354905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've ever made an inedible meal, because I taste and change recipes as I go along. I have had things not cook properly though, or burn, in which case I'll just toss it and eat a quick meal like a bean salad or soup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354898 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:21:17 +0000 MsMini 354898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make my DH eat it, he has low standards when it comes to what is edible. I will scrounge then, I can usually find a cup of noodles or something in the cupboard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354895 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:19:43 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 354895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cereal! Or can you salvage it by making it spicy? That sometimes works... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354886 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:16:18 +0000 Meridian 354886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hrmm, I don't think we've ever had an inedible meal, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354830 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:43:26 +0000 autumnlove 354830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cereal, ramen or yogurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354825 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:41:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 354825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pizza delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354810 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:28:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 354810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well grabbing take out is out of the picture since DH has the car and is at work until 10:30 :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354808 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:24:55 +0000 chopsuey 354808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's really terrible I'll toss it. :P<br /> I haven't had to toss any food in a long time though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354806 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:23:40 +0000 MrsHotDog 354806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happens a lot more frequently than I would like to admit. It is typically a take out night unless we are too tired or it is too late then it is a crackers and peanut butter kind of night. My husband is very low maintenance and has very low expectations for my cooking abilities so he is great with going with the flow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354801 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:20:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 354801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go get takeout! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354800 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:19:54 +0000 MediaNaranja 354800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are usually pizza nights in our households, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-dinner-is-gross#post-354795 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:12:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 354795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: bahaha I love it.<br /> I have no idea what to eat for dinner now.
