With respect to all of those who have contributed mightily to this forum in terms of cooking do's and don'ts, recipes and just good food information, today is a day to celebrate the rest of us...those who might be termed kitchen klutzes. I quote:
"these are the people who set out with the intentions of Paula Dean or Julia Child as the open up the cookbook. Setting out the mixing bowl and ingredients, they imagine knife cuts as swift as Wolfgang Puck or Bobby Flay. However, reality quickly dissolves all those dreams as smoke billows from the oven and salt is mistaken for sugar. Those knife cuts become bloody, and cookies and fingers are burnt. The Kitchen Klutz has struck, and visions of spilled milk are pitifully cried over.
It may be necessary to keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy when Kitchen Klutzes are around. Be ready to call 911 and your favorite take out if you’re still hungry".
If you have any stories about your ineffectiveness in the kitchen, cooking disasters or mis-steps, feel free to share today. And, maybe plan on eating out today.
