What? But....I always imagined you were an absolute genius in the kitchen. I thought burning things was my department.Home Ec. I had to take Home Ec. Got a D in it. I could burn water with very little trouble.
Oh, heavens, no. I was horrible in the kitchen. People actually pitied Rick when we first got married. I still say that's why his mom started teaching me stuff....because she was genuinely afraid her poor son was going to starve. I'm totally serious. I could make scrambled eggs, but had to stand right by the stove at all times and keep an eye on the eggs. If not, they burned. And about that burning water? I was trying to boil water in a teakettle and let the teakettle run dry. Burned a hole in the bottom of the teakettle. I set dishtowels on fire. I burned the bottom of my MIL's favorite Dutch oven to the point where it had to be replaced; the food was charred. We couldn't get it out.What? But....I always imagined you were an absolute genius in the kitchen. I thought burning things was my department.
I made toast from frozen bread straight out of the freezer the other day. Managed to get it black on one side, brown on the other and still frozen in the middle. Beat that!
Thank goodness times have changed and they don't teach that anymore! It's been replaced with newer technology I guess. We didn't have to take home ec type classes either after middle school and that was an abbreviated class. And we didn't even have to sew.Shorthand. I despised shorthand with a passion. Completely useless class for me. Got a D in it. To this day, I have never used anything Shorthand in my business or personal life.
