Great post/username combo.

  1. Put frypan on cooktop, turn hotplate on
  2. Check the food instructions and note that they recommend oven bake
  3. Turn oven on, bake food
  4. Half an hour later, notice a bright red/orange glow from the frypan

And that was my wife’s good frypan. She was less than happy.

Now, I’m not noted for my culinary prowess, but burning the frypan was a new low.

Tonight I made hot chocolate from scratch for twenty people. I served it all up and handed it out. It was very good . . . after everyone gave me back their mugs so I could put the whole pot back on the stove and add the sugar.

I had a date I was really looking forward to coming up. So I come home a couple hours before and start picturing how the date’s going to go, what I’m going to say, etc.

So I invite her in, get out two mugs and make two mugs of cider then realize…I’m still all alone. Date isn’t for another two hours. Now I got two cups of coffee to drink.

Lucky nobody was around for that.

I opened a new can of nuts. The type with the snap on plastic lid, and then a second inner seal. After snacking on far too many, I decided to close the can and get it out of my sight.

But I couldn’t find the plastic lid! I knew I hadn’t left the living room, so it had to be there…somewhere. I tore the living room apart, looking beneath cushions, under furniture, even behind the book cases and such…no lid.

So I used foil to cover the can.

The next day, hubby is munching on the nuts, and asked me why I’d used foil to cover it. ‘Because I lost the lid,’ I explained.

He stared at me for a moment, then pulls the plastic lid OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAN. 'You mean this one?" :smack:

I made this wonderful whole beef tenderloin for Christmas dinner. Dude! It was soooo good. In fact, it was so good that late that night I decided to get it out and get a little piece of it to munch on. Yesterday at 1:30 in the afternoon I discover that I left it out! Aaaaugggghhh! In my gluttonous sloth I left out a $20+ piece of meat for 14 hours!
No way I’m eating that again, so I went to the store and bought another one to make this weekend.
