Destination Dinners is a company that makes recipe kits from around the globe. They throw in all the spices and mixes you will need and some of the sides like rice and fruit, if it’s dried like raisins. Then they provide a recipe and directions and all you have to do is purchase the perishables and throw everything together. Dinner in a box!
My lovely destination was Thailand and it smells so good. I love cooking with curry and coconut milk. Yumm. One of my favorite dishes is Curry Chicken. Thailand is an exotic place with a ton of culture. All of their buildings are shaped like temples and Buddha is everywhere. As much as I would love to go there; for now, Destination Dinners is getting me close enough.
The dinner kits start at 25.00 and go up to 30.00 but for an exotic night in I think these are the perfect price. They serve 6 – 8 adults and include things like, rice, cashews, raisins, Maggi®, white pepper, palm sugar, sugar, fish sauce, preparation instructions, shopping list, table setting suggestions and Tea & Trivia. The after product is supposed to look like this
But I didn’t cut my pineapple like that I just purchased pineapple in a can. The recipe is well laid out and easy to follow with everything already measured out for you.
The Prizes is a custom gift set set at above 50.00 and items depend on the destination you choose.

I think my craziest cooking experiences was trying to fix a full holiday meal while camping. Most everything came out okay though a few were a little singed and not everything was ready at the same time. But we did have a lot of fun adn everyone did get enough to eat.

I attempted homemade truffles this morning. It was pretty crazy to me!
My craziest cooking experience: I used to cook thankgiving for my extended family in my apartment, with an apartment sized stove that wouldn’t fit a turkey. So I cooked the turkey in a roasting pan in the living room.
my craziest dinner experience is overcooking the turkey on thanksgiving and having to make frozen pizza…oops!
I once tried to cook my husband a nice dinner to congratulate him on his graduation. A woman I worked with gave me a no-fail, ‘easy’ recipe that only had 4 ingredients: stuffing, chicken, white wine, and cream of mushroom soup. I didn’t know you had to cook the stuffing before hand, so I just put the hard stuffing crumbs in and baked it around the chicken. When it came out of the oven, the stuffing was so hard that I had to use a butcher knife to cut into the chicken. Needless to say we ended up ordering dinner in that night.
A friend of ours made this wonderful Filipino dish. I watched her cook it but that’s all I had to go from when I wanted to make it again. We tasted it and it was SO disgusting it was literally inedible. It was my first cooking mishap where the food was too gross to eat!
All of my craziest cooking experiences have involved all of my family being in the kitchen at the same time trying to make something for the Thanksgiving meal. Everyone wants to make things easier by offering to make something, but we don’t realize that it’s makes it harder because too many people are in the kitchen.
My craziess cooking experience was the time I went to visit my husband (then Boyfriend) in Korea over Thanksgiving. I had been planning on cooking a traditional Thanksgiving feast but when I arrived he told me that the commissary had sold out of turkeys (!!!) and so I ended up heating a canned ham (yuck), but I also made a reasonable stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie to make up for the lack of turkey!
Craziest cooking experience was this Thanksgiving: unexpectedly having to cater dinner (and make my first turkey EVER) for 15 guests at my in laws’ house when my month in law fell and broke her hip three days before Thanksgiving. Needless to say, my “vacation” was exhausting.
When my family first moved to Korea we went out to eat at a barbque place and after they put the meat on the grill we sat there and watched it start to burn and thought we were getting very poor service until we looked around and noticed that everyone else was cooking their own food at their table. So I guess cooking our own food at a restaurant seemed kind of crazy at first.
My craziest cooking experience… trying to make homemade hush puppies. I had never deep fried anything before and needless to say… it is a really good thing that our house is still standing.
My craziest cooking experience was whenever I tried to make my dad’s favorite desert (something that his aunt always made for him) for his birthday! ahh. it turned out terrible — but I saved the night with Apple DUmplings and Vanilla ice cream.

I make this fabulous tasting strawberry cake. Tastes great, and the pretty pink color is beautiful! BUT!!…for some reason, every time I make this, is slips and slides and looks absolutely messy besides. Good thing it tastes great.
My craziest cooking expensive was cooking in the nude!

I made a southern chinese meal once which included pickled jellyfish, which is probably the most unusual thing (from an American perspective) I’ve ever served.
