Did you ever make something you know you won't make again?

8. All the time, in both senses

The one sense being trying something for the first time and it either just doesn't work out or is just not to our taste. An example being a tuna budin (kind of a savory baked mousse or pudding) from a Spanish cookbook that I got for free at a church garage sale. (Nobody wanted it, so it ended up in the 'Pleeeze, for the love of God, just take me' pile. I also got a really great cookbook about indigenous foods from the Americas. same pile.) Anyway, the tuna thing came out of the oven, and slid out of the mold into a formless mass of goo, nearly running right off the plate. We didn't eat it.

The other sense is working with whatever's in the fridge and pantry. I'm a queen of 'This is a meal that will never come again', just because there will never be the same happy circumstance of available components. We either eat leftovers the way they are, or recycle them into a different meal. Sometimes, the second meal is better.
