apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

capers --- I get the brine everywhere and the mouth of the jar is too narrow and I always end up spilling

Flour, all over the my workplace and my clothes

cocoa powder.

flour, when sprinkling on a kneading surface etc. there are always errant spills

Molasses.

Honey always manages to get on me and I consistantly spill flour everywhere.
But I embrace the mess as that is what comes with baking. The mess is worth a delicious result!

Flour and couscous; no matter how careful I am or even if I take measures to "contain" the spillage that I know is going to occur, flour still manages to get everywhere. And with the couscous, those little granules seem to go everywhere.

Flour, which is one of several reasons I do not care for baking!

Cocoa powder!

flour and rice... ugh.

definitely flour. or is it honey? nope, definitely flour.

Hmm, molasses and peanut butter.

Oh, God, everything. I make glorious messes when I cook -- I mean, I clean as I go, but usually there's a lot of spattering and flailing.

Regardless of what we're making, if my daughter's helping, sprinkles. I personally struggle with honey and rice.

Honey. I just can't keep the container clean. I made honey mix (1:1 honey:water, great for mixed drinks) and it was a sticky process.

Mayonnaise, the containers, no matter how wide they've started to make them, are still not wide enough and I always end up with it everywhere.

Though, thanks to muscular dystrophy, I have shaky hands, so I have the ability to spill just about everything! I try and keep things as close to my mixer, food processor, mixing bowls as possible!

Flour, especially if it involves my stand mixer.

molasses, which leaves a ring on the counter no matter how many times I wash and dry the jar.

i think it may have supernatural powers.

Flour. Every time I tell myself "this time will be different" but no matter what I do, it always ends the same. Some puff of flour in my face, on my clothes, on the counter, and/or on the floor.

Black treacle, impossible to use without making a complete mess.

Muffin Batter - I ALWAYS manage to drop spoonfuls of it onto the tray and not into the cups. :)
Sugar, salt, and the "pam" spray

Cake Flour. I always keep it in the box, but that makes it impossible to stick a measuring cup into it. Whether I try to pour it out or take the plastic bag out of the box, it always results in a mess!

Couscous is both hard to contain and a pain to clean up. But so tasty.

Once I spilled a box of couscous AND a container of quinoa on my pantry floor. That was un-fun.

I was just thinking about how I can never keep quinoa from jumping out of the measuring cup and all over the kitchen.

Flour. Everywhere

flour/ powdered sugar

Powdered sugar for sure, then flour, and peanut butter and honey always make me want to buy that Alton Brown plunger measure he's always touting.

molasses, flour of course; apple bread-very messy to make but very good to eat;

Flour by far! I always manage to spill some, or sneeze/cough and it gets everywhere... And then it's just a pain to get off your hands, gets all doughy.

Flour.

Marshmallow Creme. I use it to make fudge, and it is very hard to get it out of the jar.

No matter what I do, my jars of molasses and honey are ALWAYS sticky. And flour? Always a little dribble.

But the worst? Powdered (or confectioner) sugar. All I have to do is *open* my tupperware container and immediately a cloud erupts and descends to cover me, my counter top, the floor, and everything in between. It only gets worse when I try to scoop and measure it.

Oh god... Couscous can be awful. It gets in cracks and corners... Too bad I like it so much.

Flour, unmelted better, mashes bananas and surprisingly, eggs! I can never crack an egg without messing up.

arrgh...that's unmelted butter.

whenever maple syrup is involved, there is a guarantee that something will be found sticky... sometimes days later... you can wipe everything...

Any occasion which requires me to shred cheese from a block. Which is often, I make omelets more than any individual living solo probably should...

I've tried using wax paper, I've tried using my bench scraper...nothing.

But I make a MEAN omelet.

I am a mess with flour - i bake daily and i change clothes at least 2 x a day! I went to kiss hubby goodbye after lunch and he said to stay back as i was extra floury :) but I also hate pam as it seems to go everywhere. I tend to put the pan in the sink and then spray and that does help.

cinnamin sugar...goes everywhere.

The flour I use is the worst - as I have to eat gluten free the flour I use is very fine and floaty and no matter what you do it gets everywhere - just closing the container makes it puff into the air

Flour - I can't seem to do anything with it without coating half the kitchen and parts of the rest of the apartment with it.

Brown sugar has always been a pain for me, too. I have minimized it somewhat recently by putting it in a rectangular glass container with a plastic lid, so I'm not trying to scoop it out of a plastic bag, but I do still always spill some.

My Boyfriend, he makes a mess out of all of the ingredients... lol

I'd have to say water. When I do dishes it seems to get on me/my clothes (which embarassingly always includes the front zipper of my pants), the floor, the counters, everywhere. At least it evaporates quickly!

Oh and corn. The kernels have flown clear across the room when I cut them off the cob. Lately I've cut the cob in half first, and that's helped somewhat.

I am a mess with everything... but mostly sugar and flour. Nut butters also have a tendency to hide themselves everywhere in my kitchen.

DEFINITELY cornstarch. That stuff goes EVERYWHERE!
