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.
-
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 :confused:
-
My sister burnt water :O 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. :lol

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

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

Lol cant help but laugh a lil bit :lol 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.
-
tellem yer cooking 4 alarm chili or whatever it is you're burning.
;)

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?
:lol
-
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')
-
TxMom, do you put a whole new meaning to the term "Carry out food"?
Sry...couldn`t resist. :D

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!)

Hey, if they're battery powered smoke, just move em further from the kitchen :aok

I liked the recipe swap too. Hey listen, now that I've basically quit my job, I was thinking of writing a cook book.
Title: All you need to eat on is bread, eggs & milk. Then fill it with bread, eggs & milk recipes. :lol

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.

Mom, I doubt you've ever emptied an apartment complex with supper. I was pan frying some chicken and the grease got a little hot and started smoking. Set off my smoke alarm which in turn set off the smoke alarms in the entire building (4 townhouses). I tried giving everyone some chicken as a peace offering. For some reason they all turned me down. :confused:
-
LOL I emptied an apartment complex buying a car...
The darn thing needed some work before I could drive it away, and the Vacuum line to the MAP sensor came off. Combine the leftover Inox in the pots with the super rich running due to the lack of vacuum to the MAP sensor and the super sensitive smoke detectors in the Garage and you get the picture. I'd actually moved the car outside by the time the sensors picked up the fumes, but it was enough to set the alarms off and empty the entire complex out into the driveway.
I hurriedly got my stuff into the car and went :lol

I love those things I woldn't want to sleep upstairs while downstairs has been burning for hours without me knowing.
-
I love those things...
You want some fried chicken?

I just made a blue cooking some porcupines. I should have used a 440g tin of tomato soup but we didn't have any so I used powdered tomato soup instead, they looked fine, but the taste was not at all how it should have been :(
-
Word of waring! Throwing water on flaming frying pan REALLY doesnt help situation much :eek:
-
I think I was 8 before I realized that not everyone scraped the black off of toast before eating it. I burn it every now and then just for a little nostalgia. :)
