Today, I went to put a lasagna in the oven for dinner. I was greeted by a revolting scent of a chicken-soup and biscuits boxed dinner. The fridge apparently was too full for my brother to put it away inside, so he covered it up and forgot about it in the oven. We made that dinner two weeks ago. FML.

Same thing different taste

It's toasted

Today, I opened the preheated oven to discover the chicken casserole I made last week is now sludge. The freshly toasted maggots are scattered all over the oven. I took the casserole out, but didn't have my glasses on to see the maggots before placing the pan of biscuits inside. FML

Today, I wanted to pack my lunch with some of my homemade meatloaf leftover from last night's dinner, but I couldn't find it anywhere in my fridge. Later in the evening, my boyfriend's parents invited us over for dinner. They served meatloaf. The meatloaf they stole from my fridge last night when they visited. FML

Today, I was reprimanded by my mom and her current man over my opinions on one of their church social friend's "homemade" lasagna. I didn't say anything, just took one bite, and ate no more. How politely do you say that you know full well she shoved Stouffer's frozen lasagna into the oven? I recognized it from just the smell! FML

Today, I was sick with the flu so my boyfriend announced that he would make me some chicken soup. It was touching until I stumbled to the kitchen and found out that his "chicken soup" was actually leftover KFC bones boiled in water. FML

Uh oh…

Today, I woke up late and in a rush, I grabbed what I thought was a container of leftover spaghetti from the refrigerator to take to work. At lunch, I opened it to find it wasn't spaghetti, but raw marinated chicken my roommate had prepped for dinner. I ended up eating a vending machine sandwich that tasted like cardboard. FML

Today, to treat the family, I cooked something nice in appreciation for sticking it out over the past few tough months. Unfortunately, I chose this one day to not wear my oven mitts when carrying the food to the table, spilling the food all over the carpeted floor. FML

Today, after 30 minutes of pre-heating the oven to make a special meatloaf for my husband's birthday, I remembered that I had hidden the cake in there. FML

Bon appétit

Today, for the very first time, I invited my girlfriend's parents for dinner. I bought a pre-made oven dish, just to be sure nothing could go wrong. Once at the table, her mother asked pointedly who forgot to remove the plastic foil before putting it in the oven. FML

Kitchen nightmare

By not chicken spaghetti - 18/12/2016 23:58 - United States - Clarksville

Today, while cooking supper with my boyfriend, we both smelled something funny. He tasted the sauce I was making, then asked me to taste it because something was off. I guess the burned Teflon of our cheap pot mixed with Ro-Tel just doesn't work that well. Now we're having dry chicken and plain noodles. FML

Cook out

Today, I wore myself out cooking, preparing tasty little dishes for my sweetheart. I heard him arrive and shout as he came up the stairs, "Stinks of shit in here! Have you been cooking?" I threw everything in the trash. We'll eat sandwiches. FML

That's disgusting but how did anyone not notice that? Your oven must do a very good job at locking in smells.

How did you miss seeing it in there when putting the lasagna in there? Unless it was on the broil rack

OP found the leftovers when they went to put the lasagna in the oven.

Do you not pre-heat your oven?

I do, but I don't look before I do because I never leave anything in the oven. So if my brother came over and did the same thing I wouldn't notice either. But even if OP did look in the oven before turning on the oven, they still would have been hit with nasty 2 week old food. Doesn't matter if it was heated or not, it woulda been disgusting.

You have so many leftovers that he couldn't put that in the fridge, yet you are making lasagna? Eat your leftovers so you don't have that problem. You shouldn't make ANYTHING if there's too much left over food to fit it in the fridge.

It says the fridge was too full. It did not say that the fridge was specifically too full of leftovers or even too full of food. That is an assumption you are making. The fridge could have been too full of beverages at that point, possibly leftover from a gathering. I know I've had multiple occasions where I've gone to put stuff in my fridge and realized that between the Kool-aid, Iced Tea, Soda Pop, Juice, Milk, and individual fruit drinks that people brought home for themselves there is no longer room for actual food.
