Dinner disaster

Last night’s supper, to put it mildly, was an unqualified disaster. It happens sometimes. Not often. But if the kids won't eat it, you know it's destined for the bin.
It started out as a simple gammon. I was going to be efficient and use the stock for soup tonight. The gammon turned out to be tough and dry. Plan B swung into action. Throw in a packet of split peas, carrots, etc. Shred the meat, add to soup, blitz. Taste.
So salty as to be inedible. Curses! Only half an hour to dinner time. Slice two potatoes, put in pot to boil before adding to salty soup. Slightly burn potatoes.  Toss salvagable bits into soup. Blitz. Bleh!
Moral of the story - when in doubt, throw it out.
