TxMom... Take the smoke alarms as a compliment...

Nothing gathers the kinfolk together as much as a smoke alarm... the next words outta yer mouth shoulda been.  "Now shut up, sit down and eat!"

If it takes a mad Texan woman over a stove in a testorone inflicted home and panic in the house sets in... It's Dam Done!

If our kids complain about food even the slightest bit they have to do push-ups.  It works well and its probably been a month since any of them have complained.

Haven't found anything Brianna won't eat yet.
:D
She seems particularly fond of spicy foods, much to Sarah's disappointment :lol Fortunately I love cooking and eating the spicier Indian and Asian foods, I usually make a milder batch for Sarah when I do ('aint I nice:p)

Do the kids joyfully scream,"Yay! Pizza night!!!" about two seconds after the alarm goes off?

Don't feel bad.  One of the places we have to send change of address notification to is the Fire Dept.  (had them out at the house 2 times from the wife's 'cooking incidents')

Nah, more like taking "fend for yourself night" to a new level. :)

Fend for yourselfusually entices my 12 year old to try out what he learned in 7th grade Home ec., which leads right back to the damn smoke alarm going off again.

Finally, I myself wind up going to the kitchen, (after going back to the store to get more stuff, because they've burned everything else) and putting things' right in time to eat at a somewhat decent hour. As a result, everyone now loves' General Tso's chicken here.

My kids are pretty good in the kitchen. In fact, it's a shame for them to have a mom who is totally disinterested in food. Makes it even more apparent after we visit Grandma once a month, who is the best cook in the whole world.

My oldest son had a cake party some time before he was 10 years old. They each made their own cakes ~ which looked exactly like hamburgers. yellow cakes for the buns, chocolate for the burger, rice chrispies for the "sesame seeds," yellow, red & white frosting in the middle for ketchup, mustard & mayo ~ sliced gumdrops for lettuce. They enjoyed it quite a bit ~ ate their own cakes for dinner and then for breakfast. :)

But I'm pretty sure none of them told any of their other friends they were cooking.

My wife burned things with such regularity we used to say that it wasn't burnt....just CAJUN!!


Yup

We had "Blackened Pizza"
           "Blackened Spaghetti"
           "Blackened Cornbread"......

You name it...we had it "blackened".

(Not to hijack the thread...but folks seemed to enjoy the "Aces High 1st Annual Recipe Swap" last summer...should we wait until July or start it sooner?  I know I got about 15 really awesome recipies from you folks that now are currently in my dinner rotation!)

I liked the recipe swap too. Hey listen, now that I've basically quit my job, I was thinking of writing a cook book.

That reminds me of an old barnyard joke concerning a Cow and a Chicken stuck in the middle of a wheat field...

Never mind.. don't want DiabloTX accusing me of hijacking this thread.
