How to tell when dinner was a complete disaster?

Dinner tonight. Let's just say I had good intentions...And let's also come clean and tell you this isn't the only things the dog got...there was also plates and pans...

I was trying to make baked potatoes and cheese sauce and bacon for a topping. Like a cool meal at the potato bar...

Only my potatoes were kinda yucky...so I cut them up and peeled them so I could get the bad spots out...then I cooked them in the microwave...they were done but also a bit dehydrated....

NO Fear! I made cheese sauce that came out yummy...and the bacon...well it burned (only a little)

The lesson I learned...is that some children will eat virtually anything covered in cheese sauce and some won't... Oh and Lucy the dog does love my cooking!
