I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to cut and tried to pause and rewind the video tutorials to get a better understanding. It felt like the videos were in fast-forward mode, as the chefs sliced and diced with super-human speed. It wasn't nearly as easy as they made it look. Perhaps that's why they're the professionals?<br /><br />Whereas the videos took less than a minute for the adept cooks and butchers, it took me about 45 minutes of snipping and tugging and sweating (seriously) to finally get my chicken carved up, although one drumstick and both wings got mutilated in the process (not sure how).<br /><br />I shoved the cuts into the fridge, and washed my hands about 5 times once I was done, slightly grossed out by the hands-on experience I just had with my dinner. (Not to mention the extra parts that rolled out from the inside of my dinner during the operation .)"<br /><br />lifeblessons at gmail dot comcarmen @ life blessonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436197171458180834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583907107564644153.post-76348093640950635162010-09-10T13:25:31.329-04:002010-09-10T13:25:31.329-04:00I can relate.

I manage a group home for special needs clients and we cook all thier meals for them each day. I followed the recipe, or so I thought and made a big batch of soup. I ladled out a bowl of soup for my one client and gave it to him for lunch. He took dainty little sips and I noticed that his face was getting red, his ear lobes were getting red, and he was slower and slower taking a tiny mouthful of soup.I asked him how he liked it and being the people pleaser he is he said it was yummy. Somehow I did not believe him and had a taste myself. I could not believe how smoking hot the soup was. Where had I gone wrong??? I reread the recipe slowly and found my mistake. I had misread the recipe where it said to add one or two canned Chipotle peppers, and instead I had added two cans of Canned Chipotle Peppers instead. I could not even salvage the soup, it was way too hot. Next time I will make sure to read the recipe a few times before feeding something like that to my clients!!msdewberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176848790237762070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583907107564644153.post-77737173521019900992010-09-07T18:34:54.662-04:002010-09-07T18:34:54.662-04:00I was making cookies just the other day.

I kept stirring and stirring, thinking I could get the air out, only to get more of the caramel on the stove and the counter. So I decided to pour some out, trying to salvage what was left, and hoping that the entire thing wouldn't end up on the counter.<br /><br />I picked up the pan, burnt my fingers. Dropped it back, soaked the burnt hand in ice water, and started using the spoon to throw some out [like a bucket in a sinking boat] Finallly some sense came through, and I turned off the heat, which stopped the bubbling. Only now, I had a pan, a spoon, the stove, counter, and floor to clean up. Took 3 hours!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368043148836935624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583907107564644153.post-27755165994872019152010-09-07T01:26:58.440-04:002010-09-07T01:26:58.440-04:00I found a recipe on allrecipes.com for 'Cantel...I found a recipe on allrecipes.com for 'Canteloupe Pie' and I made it.

When he was done, he was going to seed it over, but the boys loved to dig in the dirt, so we decided to leave it for them to play in. A few weeks ago – the day after a rain – they went outside to play and I was getting dinner ready, doing chores, etc. I could hear them, but was so surprised after almost an hour that there was no fighting, yelling, crying, etc. I was thinking to myself, boy, they are getting along so nicely, I have such good boys maybe we can go out for ice cream after dinner as a treat. I stepped outside to compliment them on their behavior, and this is what I was greeted with<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2049417&id=1330555949&l=d4efff91b6<br /><br />I must have said something like “What possessed you?” and my youngest (the one covered from head to toe) said “I was making mud pies for dinner, but the recipe went all wrong!” I could not do anything but laugh, but needless to say, the area was seeded by the weekend!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030667045194176131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583907107564644153.post-14323478963802561912010-09-01T10:32:30.894-04:002010-09-01T10:32:30.894-04:00I was one of 5 brothers and sisters mostly older t...I was one of 5 brothers and sisters mostly older than me. My mom and dad took us after church to a buffet type restaurant for dinner. My stomach became upset and before I could let my mom know I was getting sick right in the middle of the restaurant. This made my sick and she began getting sick followed by my brother and then my other brother and last my youngest brother. Yeah my poor parents had 5 kids getting sick in the middle of this restaurant GROSS!

Later that day, my husband called me and asked me to pick up milk on the way home. I remember thinking that he must of been really thirsty or something. So I picked up the milk and later that night I went to get a glass out of the cupboard. And there was the half empty carton milk,in the glass cupboard, where I had put it before I went to work.

Now it wasn;t like it totally blew up but I was cooking pasta and the water spilled on the flat top. This stove was old so the water leaked into where the heating elements are and it sizzled and popped and ons of black smoke came out. Luckily the breaker turned off and besides some smoke & the fire alarm going off, it was fine. The alarm company called and checked onme and I said, it;s fine. Nothing is going on. THey sent the fire dept anyway. So 2 fire trucks show up with about 10 firemen. The problem, I am in my jammies with my hair up like Pebbles Flintstones and I look like heck.

So, I took him and when he was finished in the stall next to me, he shouted "I won the pee race!!!". It seems like everything is a race with my kids, but the pee race was a new one to me! I was vaguely aware that someone else was in the bathroom, but didn't pay much attention. So, we finish and go back to the children's section. The children's librarian comes up to me and says - so I hear you lost the race. What?? I say. And she cracks up laughing and told me that she was in the bathroom and thought the pee race was hilarious!
