Although I can't think of the exact specifics ATM, I do know I've attempted
new recipes that were rated "Quick! Call Pizza Hut Before They Close!" and
for some reason, the meal I prepared was flushed down the toilet. I don't
know why.

After about the 3rd or 4th time, the wife laid down the law. I get to
experiment on Saturdays and then only well before the sun goes down so that
if it turns out to be shit, we can get something take-out. Now mind you, I
live in a little town of 7k people. So our take-out options consists of
Pizza Hell or a Mom and Pop's Chinese place. One is crap and the other is
expensive.

On the plus side, I haven't made anything that made the "Quick! Call Pizza
Hut Before They Close!" rating for over six months now. I'm sure I just
screwed that record up!
