(A Flip-Flop) Acrochallenge!

Well, let's talk Lowlights of the Week.

I'm having just a bit of a worrying time in the recipe du jour department. I've been working on tonight's recipe since approximately 2:00 this afternoon. At 10:30, it's still not ready. There's no way I can do a Picture Sunday without it.

Therefore, let's have a little switch. Let's do an acro tonight, and I'll have Picture Sunday on Monday, with or without the recipe du jour I've been working on, and then I'll name the acrowinners tomorrow.

Now comes Problem Number Two. I wasn't prepared for an acrochallenge, so I have no acrotopic. So let's think one up here on the spot. How about "Cooking Disasters?" Hmmm, wonder where that came from?

All the other rules are the same. Everyone gets three entries to come up with the best acronym they can that not only matches the topic above, but also the letters below which are randomly drawn from the acrobasket. The acrobasket's a take-out kind of guy, no cooking for him. Afraid he'll burn his handles. Then tomorrow night, yes, that's tomorrow night, Monday, at 10pm est I shall be reading the entries and judging the winners, who will receive what may or may not become of my recipe du jour, and the non-winners, who, let's face it, will have the better end of the stick.

So this week's topic? "Cooking Disasters." The letters:

E R N Y W C L

So get in the kitchen and acro.

Eating really nauseating, yucky whitefish canapes. Livery.

Eggs runny, nasty yolks, whites covering linoleum.

Egads! Replacing nuts, young William created lawlessness.

Until approximately 18 years ago I was skillful in the kitchen. Now I avoid it and this is why:

Every recipe never yields what children like.


p.s You're a good dancer. That was fun!

Electric range never yields well-cooked liver.

Every Roasted Newt-Yam-Whopper Casserole lingers.

Elaine reinvented nasty: Yak-Walnut-Cauliflower-Latte.
