Writes Jim in Colorado: “When I attempt to cook, I typically use way too many pots, pans and utensils and sometimes tend to skip instructions. (I actually made hard-boiled eggs and set the smoke detectors off.) Anyway, the other night I made cheeseburger pie and forgot to precook the meat. I woke up the next morning and found this on the refrigerator.” </laugh track> Oh, dad!

Did you know that hard boiled eggs will explode if you forget that you’re boiling them and all the water evaporates, burning the shells to the bottom of the pan? I didn’t until last week.

But, if he can only use three ingredients, then how is he supposed to make cheeseburger pie again? Now that I know it exists, I can’t live in a world without it.

He and the misses should quietly cash in the kid’s education fund and plan that around the world cruise they’ve always wanted.
And as for spending money, well, they better get out there and find work. Lindsey Lohan got a job early and look at her.

Jim, you’ve lost all claim to “man of the house” status when your kids figure out what a dope you are.

Dad’s allowed to cook fast food? I thought that came precooked.
Maybe he works at McDonald’s or something? No wonder that food is such crap.

If I were him, I’d feel a whole lot worse about that. On the other hand, it does mean that in the future, any meal requiring three or more ingredients gets cooked for him by someone else. Bonus.

My wife (an Anglican priest possessed of infinite patience) once said of me: “He’s an Old Testament cook – every night he brings us burnt offerings.” So Jim – I totally sympathize with you – I’m restricted to 5 ingredients as along as two of ‘em are salt and pepper

They must have dug through Dad’s stuff to find the shard of the magnet used to hang up the note. Ouch!

When I was a kid, we had this odd flat glass disk that was supposed to go into a pot of water before you boiled it, to prevent the pot from boiling over. Glass in pot; macaroni in pot; contents of pan into colander. Rinse with cold water….
My mother made the next batch of macaroni. And we never did buy a replacement disk.
Both my parents probably despair of their daughters cooking skills, or lack thereof. My sister does best with sandwiches and mac n cheese. I’m not much better. :/ My dad, on the other hand, bakes like nobody’s business.
And we’ve never once gotten food poisoning!

If it has more than three ingredients, it isn’t worth cooking anyway. Team too lazy to cook!

Jim: you should consider yourself lucky you are not completely banned from the kitchen and don’t you dare use more than one pot or pan!

Speaking of reinforcing gender stereotypes… I sent my husband outside to grill duck breasts for a dinner party. A while later he came running in for a wine glass (!) full of water to extinguish the 6 foot ball of flame that the duck fat had become. Luckily “cooler” heads prevailed and the fire was extinguished. Did you know that duck fat can spontaneously reignite once you’ve taken it away form the heat source and put it all on a plate??? Go Team Soggy Duck Bacon.

So, cooking up some charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate is OK? Technically, they are all edible in small quantities.

Nuggets! Just plain Nuggets!
It’s illegal to call them a type of meat.

Cheeseburger pie is actually more nutritious if you don’t pre-cook the hamburger.

Conversely, a female friend of mine is now banned from grilling since she set theirs on fire.

Dad should tell the kids to cook for their own damn selves. If it was Mom, point out he’s breaking gender stereotypes but, if she wants to be oppressed, she can do all the cooking for now on.

I’m not allowed to make popcorn anymore after a very unfortunate incident involving a pressure cooker and an 18-inch hole in the ceiling…
