Not Exactly My Best Work

[ursangnome]

Hm. Lunchtime. What would sit well today? Aha! Egg salad would make a fine lunch!

Trot down to the kitchen, put a couple of eggs into a pot of cold water. Light the burner, and go hang out about the house for a few minutes for them to come to a boil...

...smoke? Why do I smell smoke? How much time has passed?!?!

I am one of the few people I know who can manage to burn a hard-boiled egg. Charred, actually. I am a moron. If they gave licenses for home cooking, mine would be revoked. It isn't like this is the first time I've ever done this, either. Please pardon me while I go bang my head against the wall...

...and what the heck will I have for lunch? Can I possibly mess up peanut butter?

Let's just say that the first time I used dried chilis in something, I didn't get the right order of magnitude.

This reminds me *so* much of my high school Home Ec class. The recipe for pizza called for "a liberal shake" of garlic powder. I suspect that the resulting dead taste buds affected me for life...

So what would have happened had the directions called for "a libertarian shake"? ;-)
