So the other night I made a dish that had a piece of meat in it. (I'm being intentionally vague in case Rob reads this he won't know which dish...ya feel me? Word.) The meat was still partially frozen when I threw it in to be cooked (oh, and also because we have leftovers that I've frozen to eat still and I want him to eat them). Unbeknownst to me, I did not remove all of the, uh, what's that stuff they put on the bottom of the package? The padding stuff? Like this:
There were like 3 of those suckers in there, I guess, and I only got 2 of them out. The third was stuck to the bottom of this large piece of meat and I threw it in the soup to be cooked. And cooked it was. I spent a good 20 minutes sifting through the soup to find the plastic and mostly disintegrated paper stuff so that no one would see it and not eat.
I know, gross.
But there was some serious food in that pot and I was NOT about to waste it just because people might get a little padding in their bowl.
So my helpful hint is that you should always check to make sure you've got all that off because it really makes a nasty mess in our soup, if you don't.
That's my secret. What's yours?

Gross but funny. Thank you for not inviting me to supper that night.
My secret...I've pulled strands of my hair out of food at times. No one knew but me. They are still alive.
That is totally gross! I think I would have thrown it out and ordered pizza:)
My helpful hint is not quite as gross but I learned it from the restuarant I work at. Chop up veggies thinly put in plastic wrap (you can make about a package the half size of a man's fist) put in microwave for one minute flip another 30 seconds to a minute and poof! cooked veggies ready to throw in as a side dish or as a quick stir-fry for meat you already cooked and put away.
Ha ha! I've done that, but caught it before it cooked too much. Oops!
It happens to the best of us.
OH. MY. WORD. And you fed it to them?!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Your attempt to be vague was shattered when you typed the word "soup". Good luck with that!
Seriously nasty.
YUCK!
Unless you cooked soup every night last week, i think you have outed yourself. lol Good tip though!
That is seriously gross... and should seriously remain a secret. :O

Very funny. That sounds like something I would do.
Oh, yucky. I'm sorry. I never fail to be impressed with whatever your Dear Hubby is heating up in the microwave here at work, though — it always looks delish!
Damn, dude. I hate that! Those suckers get wedged up so tight and frozen into the folds of meat sometimes and if it's chicken it can seriously blend in! Not that I've ever spied chicken maxis floating in the pot or anything myself... ;-)
