RE: Tears for Fears :: 50 Word Short Story
I love humor, especially when it is done well. It is ironic that your entry is on a failed soufflé because I just made a chocolate cake yesterday that failed. My failure of course was not funny. Wasted butter, eggs, cocoa and more importantly, time.
Was it edible, though? When I was young, sometimes my mom's baking or cooking would turn out horribly incorrect, but was still edible. Sometimes actually very good. We called these 'yummy mistakes'.
It was edible but I am not young anymore. I only make and eat chocolate cake every blue moon and even then, I give it away after I have a couple of slices. I couldn’t offer my “yummy mistake” to my friends. They look forward to eating my culinary delights because I limit my sugar. I’ll remember that term though, . . . a yummy mistake next time when my sons are home. They are more forgiving. 😁
