Kitchen Disasters #III?

[sparks19]

This is why Brian does all the cooking in this house lol. He's much better at it than I am.

I remember one time while making microwave popcorn I almost burned the house down lol. I had to throw a smoldering bag of popcorn out into a snow bank and my dad had to buy a new microwave... hehe OOPS

You have confirmed my suspicions that those infused oils are simply for display. A real cook uses more natural ingredients.




Like eggs

I've got a bone-headed one for you that my son pulled on my electric stove a few years back.
He put a pot of water on to boil for spaghetti and turned the burner on high and left the kitchen. One problem -turned on the wrong burner and there was an empty pan sitting on it. Before too long - this miserable acrid smell was filling the house and the smoke alarms were blasting. I walked in to the kitchen to see this empty pot glowing red - as well as the drip pan under the burner. Grabbed both with tongs (the aluminum drip pan was melted out of shape) and tossed both out the back door and turned the hose on them. That was too close for comfort for me.

I was in the mood for tater salad and decided to toss a batch together.

I boiled, peeled, chopped and then got to the mixing portion of the program!

The hardest part of the recipe is mixing it all together!

I grabbed my spoon and began to add mayo and mustard...

Boil, boil, toil and trouble.


The effing spoon breaks in half. It's a half rubber/half steel job- the spoon part is made of metal, the shaft is shoved into the handle part and secured with a hard plastic 'grommet'. I look at the handle in my hand and notice the hard plastic part had broken in half and I cannot find the rest of it.


I have a 5-6 lb pot of freshly made Tater Salad and can't find the rest of the piece of plastic belonging to the spoon.

I pick up the pot to toss it out...then decide to take my chances.

I just can't toss out a whole pot of newly made tater salad!

I was teetering on the edge of throwing it out and eating my way thru/around plastic shrapnel in the pot? I decide to test just what the salad tastes like when the spoon I am using -a new spoon, not the POS spoon-hits a plastic-y sounding chunk!

I pulled the scoopful out and found the missing plastic piece from the broken spoon....A little "post accident investigation" reveals that there are no more foreign objects inside the PS.

Dude, that was some good tater salad. I feel like a pig, but am glad I didn't throw out the whole danged thing!

I'da sifted the pot with a fine-toothed comb before tossing it!
You NEVER throw out 'Tater Salad!
