So, I'm a terrible cook, right?

[texasmom]

My kids always one-up eachother (they're boys). So when I set the fire alarm off while cooking (regularly), they see who can say the wittiest thing.

"If you were cooking for the Queen of England, you would have just been FIRED!"

" You're better at the grill, it doesn't have a fire alarm."

I don't know if you have them, but we have the wireless fire alarms that communicate with each other.  I hate them so much.  If one goes off, they all go off.

[texasmom]

More than one goes off in my house. I don't know if they communicate, or if they all just get the same "uh-oh" message at the same time.  If I fan the one in the kitchen & it turns off, the others settle down though.

You can't be as bad as my dad. He actually set bread on fire. Not just smoke, flames were coming off the bread.

Try some sous-vide recipes. It's pretty hard to screw those up.

Txmom don't feel so bad.
My wife just figured out that the smoke alarm is NOT a kitchen timer.

My sister has actually burned a boiled egg

My sister burnt water Yes it's true you can burn water if it has a high mineral content. Was the nastiest Mac and cheese i ever had. Funny thing is i cooked mashed potatoes the day before with no problem. My highschool edumacation beats her masters degree.

Here is the secret, set the burner flame where you think it should be and then cut back by half...

"With food like that, it's best to just sweep it off the plate, into toilet, and spare the middle man."

Fire alarms going off repeatedly while cooking is directly linked to A.D.D.

Lol cant help but laugh a lil bit   I bet Mr Txmom knows the numbers to the fast food carryout places

Don't worry, texasmom, it's natural for kids to make fun of their mother when they "phail" at cooking.

[DieAz]
