In my early years, my friend and I were rattling around the house and decided to make popcorn on the stove. We didn't know you were supposed to shake it and had an inch of char on my mother's brand new stainless steel, waterless kettles. My dad and grandpa came in from the shop and found the pot and immediately set about with every different kind of cleanser and even mechanical solvents to try and fix it before Mom came home.<BR/><BR/>It only recently dawned on me they felt as concerned about Mom's reaction as I did -- theoretically they had been "watching" us that afternoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-60998861157406060702007-09-11T12:34:00.000-04:002007-09-11T12:34:00.000-04:00that was funny indeed!!that was funny indeed!!Sharmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269369149098453324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-12811521597251123632007-09-11T09:47:00.000-04:002007-09-11T09:47:00.000-04:00Was wondering how can pledge be placed next to pam...Was wondering how can pledge be placed next to pam...LOL now I will be careful while arranging the cleaners in my kitchen....blunders do happen in successful kitchen, imagine me making tea with 3 spoonful of salt instead of sugar..Padmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130494650068119152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-61096771110332188282007-09-10T23:10:00.000-04:002007-09-10T23:10:00.000-04:00Hey, Lisa!

I would put something on the stove, or in the oven, become so engrossed in what I was reading, and forget about it. Yes, I had some burnt offerings as a result, and complaints from dorm mates. <BR/><BR/>Other mishaps have to do with pyrex! Those were very rude awakenings. <BR/><BR/>It's been years since I've had major mishaps. Cooking takes precendece now, and other than the occasional burn (Aloe is my friend), it's been uneventful on that front.<BR/><BR/>Fun feature -- I enjoyed reading ours.Chef Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11669154635879963035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-13230682108682684882007-09-10T23:06:00.000-04:002007-09-10T23:06:00.000-04:00I've had a few upsets, like leaving utensils on el...I've had a few upsets, like leaving utensils on elements and upending spice jars with loose caps over food, but my biggest disaster happened when I was a teenager and my parents brought home several gallons of maple sap to make maple syrup.<BR/><BR/>Thinking that I was being very smart and helpful, I thought I'd give them a surprise one day while they were out and boil it down for them. They had a huge pot that I filled with the sap and proceeded to boil it on the stove element. Figuring it would take a while, I left it unattended and forgot all about it for a few hours while I went outside.<BR/><BR/>Billowing clouds of thick, black smoke and a smoke alarm that wouldn't stop was what I found when I got inside. The syrup had been cooked right into hard charcoal, and though I tried valiantly for another hour or so to scrape out the charcoal in a bathtub filled with hot water and bleach, there was no hope. The kitchen stank for days, and I wasn't nearly as popular as I'd hoped when my parents got home. They never brought home any more maple sap either.MapMasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049849616418236608noreply@blogger.com
