[The Lack of] Homespun Kitchen Wisdom

[joanietoo]

don't be tempted to drain a huge pot of pasta when wearing your birthday suit!

 

[joanietoo]

LOLOLOLOL, and the search the cupboards with sticky hands.....

And then because they have done all the work cooking, you end up with the clean up

which is always way more than when you do the cooking yourself. In other words "Get out of my kitchen!"

True, true! Plus: they don't have any money so they want to make "home-made" presents (more)

so they steal your butter, flour, chocolate chips, etc., proceed with the recipe, use your boxes and tape and such to wrap the gift, leave all their dirty dishes for you to load in the dishwasher and/or hand wash AND WORST OF ALL THEY DON'T EVEN MAKE EXTRA FOR EVERYONE ELSE IN THE FAMILY!

Rotten beggars. And they wonder why I go ballistic. . . smileys/wink.gif

And the old adage (French, I believe): A falling knife has no handle.

Never karate-chop (macho style, with the requisite "Aieeeyah!") a spider on the counter...

...when it's sitting behind the dish drainer and wedged up against the backsplash.

Did that once and didn't see a huge shard of jagged glass from a broken ice tea tumbler sitting in front of the little bugger.

After hand surgery to repair a severed nerve, I always use an implement of destruction other than my flesh.

What a wimp.

Don't leave the state for a holiday weekend ski trip with mini cheesecakes

still baking in the oven!

Thank goodness that they were only baking at 250°F. As you can imagine they were VERY well done!

 

[luisa_calif]

HEY! That's the only way my drawers ever get cleaned out! LOL!

 

[angak]

Ow. and don't press down on the garbage bag after throwing out a broken glass. I know this.

 

[angak]

OMG, I'm laughing!

 

[deb-in-mi]

Don't pour the Passover Chicken Soup in the collander sitting in sink if there is no bowl beneath it

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

Oh my goodness... I've done that!

My grandma told the story of when she had to wring the laundry through one of those old...

...washers that had the two rollers to feed the wet laundry through.

She said never do that nude. Never. Ever.

So have I...on a double-strength batch no less.
