Would you like that rare, medium, well done, or burnt?
Children are to obey their parents in everything except sin. So when mom advised me to wrap the potato in wet paper toweling before placing it in the microwave, I obeyed at once. To keep it moist perhaps?dunno
Attention:Remember to remove the paper toweling before you place the potato into the microwave.
Dear Diary,
Mom obviously does not know how to cook in the microwave. She advised me to, "Stick wet paper toweling around the potato" before placing it in the microwave. Within 3 minuets the potato was engulfed in flames. Francesca calmly notified us (as we were involved in the usual mother/daughter activity of vacuuming at the moment). "Mom!?" this was said in a questioning and calm, yet a little excited tone. "Mom!" she exclaimed yet again, full excitement yet no panic in her voice, "There's a fire in the microwave!" Mom briskly whisked the microwave outside onto the front sidewalk and smoldered the flaming potato with a cup of water. Should i ask mom how to cook a chicken in the microwave?

I suspected issues when I drove home with the two elder male species and all 3 garage doors were wide open. When we entered the home, all the windows in the house were wide open and immediately my blood pressure from the sound of both furnaces running is keeping the house at 80F. I think the house smells better now and I am going to shut all the windows.

ReplyDeleteUgh, torturous latin. Here goes the slaughter.... Something about "Since you are willing to make a sacrifice at any rate....offering help....not tasty potato." ~Mary
ReplyDeleteLaura, my son once put a stainless steel bowl of food in the microwave. It resembled thunder and lightning bolts!
ReplyDeleteI was putting a psalmodic spin on Elizabeth's scorching culinary mishap...
