Cooking Genius
September 19th, 2002
Grace Under Fire: A small fire just started in the pan below the burner on the stove. Keeping a cool head, I smothered the flames with a pot lid.
Lack of Grace After Fire: I quickly send an instant message to Julie, noting that we need to be careful to clean the pans out. In doing so, I forgot that I moved my rice to another burner, set on high.
Five minutes later, I return to the kitchen to find blackened rice. This is why I don’t cook.
So you sent an IM to a person who LIVES with you and you were cooking rice on high?
She was at work.
And I never said I was any good at cooking!
You don’t cook, huh? Well then you lucky that you’re beautiful and brilliant. You can bypass the “Betty Croker” route to the opposite sex, then.
