Cooking Snafoos

[The Serpent Merchant]

I call BS aaron!

You + things blowing up= definetly not an accident

That may be true nowadays... but as a freshman in high school I hadn't yet refined those skills lol

When I pt the water on the pan I expected some steam but not the explosion that came from the pan

hahahahhaha lmfao!
Did it explode?!?!?!

It didn't explode, per se, but it did rupture and some of the goo ran out of the bag it was in. The microwave went outside and got replaced the next day...

I'm a decent cook nowadays... but a few years ago when I was first starting I had a nasty habit of blowing things up lol.

My favorite was when I coated my parents house with butter...

I was making something in a frying pan (don't remember exactly what) but there was a good amount of hot butter in it. Without thinking I went over to the sink and put some cool water on the pan to cool it off a bit. (bad idea in the first place I'm lucky the pan didn't break) What resulted was the biggest cloud of butter infused steam imaginable. Pair this with a poorly placed AC return vent that sucked up a bunch of the steam and the fact that we didn't have a filter in the system (we were just about to replace the entire AC system the next day) and the result was every surface in the house getting a thin slippery coating of butter. It took weeks before it was all gone.

Ewww! Butter slime... Cooking is a trial and error learning experience. My mom was a terrible cook. My Grandma, an exeptionally good cook. I learned from my grandma, and practicing myself, adjusting to my own taste. And believe it or not, lots of tips about cooking from watching different food network shows. I love to cook. Good cooking utensils/pots/pans/equipment, make a world of difference too. My daughter is 8 and has been helping in the kitchen for about 2 years. She has made scrambled eggs mostly by herself, whisking, seasoning, cheese and all, except for an adult supervising the stove top.

I think the worst part about my snafoos is that I know a lot about food, flavor, untensils, and the cooking process... I just can't put it into action

I've been cooking professionally for 13+ years now...have seen, and been included in, countless errors, lapses in judgements, absentminded mistakes, injuries and the likes...

I'm to the point where I think nothing(literally) can surprise me anymore.

Keep on trying, it will come together. I had a friend in high school who measured water for hot chocolate, I thought there was no hope for her.

Would just like to add that cooking IS easy...sure it takes time to learn, patience, and effort, but it is something anyone willing to put their mind to it can do.

I learned how to cook very well from my grandmother but every once in awhile, something entertaining happens. There was the time I was cooking dinner for my bf and trying to impress him with fresh bread (one of my specialties!) and when I scalded the milk, I didn't let it cool enough before adding the yeast. When it didn't rise, I figured I'd try and bake it anyways. We ended up using the rolls as baseballs and once we were done, the dogs used them as chew toys for awhile. Then there was the lasagna incident.... You know the frozen party sized lasagnas from the store that take 2.5 hours to bake? Well, was doing one of those for a big party we were having, got it in late, so it was around 9 pm before it was done and as I pulled it out of the oven, managed to drop it, upside down, on the floor. After a lot of staring and then expletives, I ordered pizza. Still haven't lived that one down.
