Fear My Mad Cooking Skillz

[SomeBrunette]

I wanted some hard-boiled eggs for a tuna fish salad.

I put water and eggs in a pot and turned on the stove.

I forgot about said eggs, water and pot.

For about an hour and a half.

There is no water left in the hot pot.

Eggs eventually kasplode when they are sitting on hot pot with no water in it for too long.


Upcoming update:
Cleaning said egg-splattered hot pot.

They're probably pretty stinky too. 

_{Note to self- go out to eat when visiting SmB.  Check.}

[SomeBrunette]

Yeah, there is that, too.

I am thinking it might be worthwhile to get a new pot.

[nishi]

yeah. boiling a dry pot screws up the metal.

i know this because i can never remember when i've put water on to boil. i really am a mad genius in the kitchen, but if it's boiling water? forget it.

I used to do that all the time with spagetti in grad school.  I was busy...I can't be bothered to watch a pot boil.  or watch a boil pop for that matter.

[SomeBrunette]

or watch a boil pop for that matter.

That was wrong.  Now I have no appetite, which is good since I have no lunch.

I once made a casserole dish shatter inside an over by cooking a frozen fish fillet in it.

I still haven't figured out how that happened, because I followed the instructions on the box PRECISELY.

I once shattered a casserole dish on the top of my stove.  I had taken it out of the fridge and set it down on top of the stove forgetting that the burner was still hot.  I had broken glass and left over casserole everywhere.

I set fire to oven mitts once when i touched the hot thingys in the oven while pulling a pan out.

Lesson learned there:  Firemen are hot.

What about chemists that cause fires a lot?

I was making this stromboli last week that was very complicated and cause a bit of a scene.  The instructions said, "remove foil before microwaving" BUT they also said, "do not remove bag before microwaving."  Now, certainly the bag was very shiny, but it was a bag.  So, I didn't remove it.

It was like the Fourth of July in the microwave!

That made me laugh REALLY LOUD.

true indeed. i once smelled smoke in the basement. there was nothing on fire. mom came over. we looked around. nothing. finally, i called the fire department, and they came traipsing through with their coats and their hats and their axes. even my mom was compelled, once they left, to comment on what an exceptionally attractive group of men they had been.

one of them forgot his ax. they had to bring the entire firetruck back to pick it up.

If only there were an as-equally-attractive group of Firemaidens I could contact for my pyro-pugilistic pleasure.
