    Default Unintended Consequences

    Blue Lagoon Chicken.

    So take some chicken thighs, add a shot of blue Curacao, some fresh ginger, and marinade. Then cook on the gril, or bake in the oven for about 20 min at 200c

    Sounds good right?


    Look how it came out!































    OMG I cooked a smurf!!

    My god it does look horrid.... it did not go down well. Taste was ok but I kept thinking I was eating a smurf. Ginger was too strong as well. It is a rare day when I have a cooking disaster.

    My own sometimes disturbed little mind. j/k Yes I did invent it.

    I was making Jack Daniels chicken.... it is almost the same

    A Couple of shots of JD
    A bit of dark soy sauce
    1 or 2 tablespoons of honey.

    Mix together and cook the same way.

    JD chicken, does actually look and taste good.

    Seriously, what else would you expect Gargamel to do once he caught them... I mean he had no real point. Just a blue obsession.

    I'll eat almost anything which doesn't bite me first...with the exception of certain items of sushi or any recipe from the "To Serve Man" episode of the old "Twilight Zone" marathons.

    Now I really wanna try that.
    So let's see, a couple shots of blue curacao, half a tablespoon of shredded fresh ginger, a little pressed garlic, a little orange zest, some teriyaki and soy sauce, marinate, grill, and serve to unsuspecting guests?

    Jack Daniels chicken is good. This DOES look like a cooked smurf. I wouldn't eat it either!

    I had an awful cooking disaster once when I tried to make pineapple chicken. The end result was a completely unidentifiable mess that tasted like kitchen cleanser. I'm a pretty good cook but we all have our failed experiments!

    Heh, reminds me of that one episode of Friends where Rachel tries to cook an English trifle but two of the cookbook pages were stuck together and she ended up adding meat to it. Naturally, Joey was the only one who liked it, saying "What's not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, goooood." While we all have our favorite flavors they don't necessarily go well all together.

    Re: Unintended Consequences

    Thanks guys I'm really laughing at this too.

    I could barely manage to eat it. Now if I had used another type of citrus based liquor I would have never posted, I bet it would have been close to being good. It is the blue color that really puts it off.

    I was making Gargamel jokes all last night! I almost could not sleep, it was so funny for me.

    Next time though I'll save the liquor for a sauce, and not use the color blue either!


    Now my SO, who is from Korea and barely knows the smurfs, did not even bat a eye. Then again, I don't think she got my laughter about it.


    There is one interesting thing. I've found that there is an art to making food look good when it is photographed. This is why most restaurants will have professional photos done. Dam I'm just a GWC when it comes to food.

    Also my digital camera tends to take odd pictures, in that it will sometimes show more or slightly different colors in the photos. The camera is quite good for sunsets, but not good for food.

    Oh and I'd never try this on friends. If a recipe has not been done 3 times to my satisifaction, you'll never eat it as a guest in my home.


    Glad you guys have had a good laugh, I did also.

    A colleague once asked me to lunch at the "power lunch" joint. I ordered some kind of chicken in some sort of dijon sauce stuff.

    When it came, with the chicken and veggies cut into cubes and small chunks , covered with this yellowish sauce, I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I say that it looked like a puddle of bilious vomit. I'm gutsy when it comes to food (translated: I'll eat anything), so I tried it, and it wasn't too bad. Meanwhile, my lunch companion tried to hide her look of horror as she picked at her caesar's. She seemed to have lost her appetite.

    "Smurf in a blender." There's got to be a joke in there somewhere. But I'll advance the recipe to the power lunch place. Looks to be right up their alley. (Although, curiously, they no longer have that dijon chicken item on the menu.)
