Ha ha! A good one. At least I got this one.
That was one of those well-written ones where you look back at it and wonder why it was so hard the first time.
This One Was Awsome MrIxolite!
Very Clever.
Very Clever.
Good one. I said "A disaster is brewing" but "recipe" may be the more common phrase.
Its pretty nice, but extremely easy!

What a misery you are

Excellent! I loved it! I love all your rebuses Mr. Ix!
This one was fun.Can't always have difficult teasers, or some of us will quit trying.
a bit too easy
HAHA!!! Great Teaser! I totally missed it the first time.....then I got it Very good!
A good one to start the day
I really liked it Partly because it was a bit easy But I'll show it to my friends and they still won't get it
Well, it was cute but not challenging at all. Okay, sometimes that's a good thing.
I got this one pretty quickly, but I liked it!
And IMURRAY, your crummy attitude problem, not to mention you always putting your negative remarks in ALL CAPS all the time, is really annoying! Why not try to say something nice for a change?

OR, lmurray, as has been suggested before, why don't YOU submit a teaser or two???

That was awsome! I got it. It was easy, but I've never seen it put that way.
I thght this was fun i like to have an easy one!
I think lmurray is maybe overcompensating for not being able to get any teaer. So he has to berate them all!

Way too easy. All you had to do was read straight down.
Well, I'm no Martha Stewart, which is a "good thing" as I'd be worth millions and who'd want that? However, I have been cooking for years, and these recipes can be quite tricky to get just right.
Here is a suggestion: If you use a "Dash of D" rather than a "Pinch", the effects are not as dramatic, and it's a bit more palatable. But, you must be very careful with the R... too much and it can spontaneously combust!
Happy Cooking, Everyone!

not a good one someone please come up with anything that may take a min.
Cute, I liked it. And a relief from those of the 'stumper' kind.
I'm a long time reader, first time commenter. I think this could have been a little more creativly done. My suggestion would be to use actual disasters instead of the letters. For exp. A Dash of Katrina and a Cup of Tsunami...ect. That would have been a little harder! Otherwise great teaser
i finally got one... yay!
anyways... i liked it...what's a rebus again?
anyways... i liked it...what's a rebus again?
it was a pretty good teaser i didn't get it at first but now i do
It was to easy, but for once I was able to figure it out. Tall's right to it would have made it more interesting and more of a teaser to use disaster names rather than spelling the word "disaster" witha recipe.
good one! the word was right in fornt of my face lol....
as for Imurray- let us see one of YOUR brain teasers!

It was kinda easy well really easy but keep tryin youll get better
wwwwaaaaaayyyyyy too easy.. I don't usually take the time to think long enough to figure them out, and today's was just too simple... came to me immediately, without much brain power..
Fun!! this one was pretty easy,nice to have it that way sometimes.Gives ya a breather from the hard ones!!
I KNEW IT I ACTUALLY FUDGIN KNEW IT !!!! It was pretty simple but I liked taking the letters and putting them together
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ wanna know how 2 do dis hearts code email me at [email protected] wit a zero ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
eeeeeeeeaaaaaasy!!! at least i got it....i agree. could have been more creative with it....
I thought it was a bit easy but very cute. My grandson is in sixth grade; i'm sending it to his teacher for the class to figure out.
Very clever MURRAY You stumped me But it was fun.
Very easy but fun! Thanks.
Wow that was good
I finally got one! Well thought out and it was fun!
Beautiful!!
ok, here I am. The only person on the planet not to get this one. Soooo so obvious when I read the answer, but my brain sure synapsed when I was working on it.Therefore, I enjoyed it more than anyone else. Good job!!
Folks who don't like this puzzle should cool it and get a life. We can always count on unimaginative people to find fault. They are very good at it.
I really enjoyed this one.
Imurry get a life. Every time i see a teaser your comment is negative. you must be really lonely and bored.
i really liked this teaser. it was fun and easy so i could actually figure it out!!!!

niiiice....eazy but so good....
easy but fun a good combo
|Good One. I didn't get it at first.
Ya know, at the first when I was figuring out the puzzle, I thought it was supposed to be a REAL recipe... kinda like I use for potato salad or something....
1) Take a pinch of D(iced pickles)
2) Stir in a pint of I(cy cold pickle juice, mustard, Miracle whip, etc.)
3) Weigh in 5oz of S(auce)
4) Whisk thoroughly while adding a small grated A(mount of onion)
5) Bring to boil and add the S(alt)
6) Meanwhile finely dice a large T(omato)
7) Sprinkle in a peeled E(gg)
Finally add R(est of ingredients), to taste and then add to the mixture.
AND THEN...... I wised up by reading the D I S A S T E R in capital letters, and then I thought, well, "DUHHH!!" Lol

Thanks for all the comments guys!
to Tallyho - I like your suggestion however if I did that then the literal answer would then have become Receipe(s) for Disasters. I like to make my Rebuses as literal as possible. Your suggestion would have pluralised the answer.
To those who thought it necessary to mark doen the fun rating because they thought it was too easy, can I perhaps suggest you take a look at some of my other Rebuses. They are more or a challenge (Sort by Difficulty)

Quite funny, although I wouldn't call it a brain teaser, as has already been said by a few people.
It's such a shame that some inconsiderate people feel the need to castigate people like Imurray - is he not entitled to his opinion?
BeckyD, in my opinion it is YOU who have the attitude problem. Imurray merely stated is opinion. You launched an attach at him. I feel that the same goes for the others who felt the need to dig the oar in: saleprice, lyndalee830, shannmo, feste, azbee123
Tallyho_2022: great comment - it's nice to see that at least some people are able to provide constructive criticism.
BeckyD: did you really think that "A" might stand for "Amount of onion"?

how can you not get it for the first time?? this is not even a brain teaser.. it's for kindergarden!
No, I didn't, Robin... and I was merely pointing out that every single comment that Imurray makes here is negative... there is just never a teaser he likes enough to say something nice about.
I don't have an attitude problem, either!!

I love it when I can figure the teasers out. It makes me feel really smart.
Sometimes it is nice to come across an easy teaser like this, particularly when the brain is not very active at the time one reads the teaser! All the same, it sort of encourages people to try more challenging teasers.
This one might have been an easy one, but it's the easy ones that keep me coming back. If I never got one I would soon stop visiting.
This was a well thought out teaser and I really enjoyed it.
