Thanks. It sucks but could be far worse. We try to keep it in perspective. Could have been something that's progressively degenerative or worse, leads to death.

Like US healthcare...

Other than that, taking some cooking classes that aren't actually called "Quick & Dirty Cooking" but should be. The instructor is hilarious, and puts a lot of emphasis on simple, versatile recipes that can be modified to use whatever you have handy (one of the first assignments was to bring in something that's been in your kitchen cupboard for at least six months). Disaster recovery is a recurring theme. This woman needs her own cable show.


Not to ignore other people's ailments/injuries, but under the heading of "disaster recovery", should include a list of things *not* to do. Like say you've just finished your pasta sauce, that's been bubbling away for a couple hours, and you turn it off and move it to the back burner, then notice that there's some sauce splattering around the stove top, so let's wipe this up before cooking the pasta, and hey, let me pick up this burner so I can clean up around it better, and... Got a nice crescent shaped blister on my thumb. The good news is that at least I'd already rolled out and cut my pasta. Still sucked though.

On the plus side, it was incredibly delicious. There's just a night and day difference between dry pasta with jarred sauce and fresh with homemade sauce. Well worth the effort IMO (well, when you don't burn the heck out of yourself that is). Yes. I'm pivoting this thread into a cooking thread. Yay!

OH, way to invoke Nobby. Smiley: glare

This class is just for fun, a friend wanted to do it and thought it would be more fun with a buddy.

Re: ill-advised picking up of burners and other near-disasters, all of my potholders and most of my kitchen towels have singe marks, at the very least. I should probably test my fire extinguisher, now that I think of it.

I have a very bad habit of turning on the wrong burner. Especially when there's something sitting on it, like a styrofoam take-out container, or a plastic butter dish.

I also have a bad habit of rubbing stuff in my eyes. Like garlic, onions, habanero peppers...

I turned on the wrong burner once on an electric stove in a college apartment. This was only very bad because I'd left my PLASTIC colander sitting on it. The smell lingered for weeks and I'm pretty sure I didn't get me full security deposit back.

Ugly, I'm sorry to hear about the little one. I hope you and the missus are holding up ok - having a sick kid can be super stressful - make sure you're taking care of yourselves and each other as well. <3

My blind great, great aunt did that once. We decided then that she really couldn't live by herself.

Pssh, one little fire and it's off to the coffin factory.

A friend once snarked at me that I used the smoke detector as an oven timer.

I'm holding up great, as I'm part psychopath so I just detach myself from it emotionally...

Seriously though, I'm doing fine (for the most part) as I deal with stress well, but the missus definitely has her moments where it overwhelms her. We've got great support though with a fair bit of family around, who are helping to ensure we get some us time.



I miss BT. An inappropriate jab would be great.

I exploded a glass plate once. Now I no longer put anything on top of the stove except pans.

On the other subject, my roommates like to tell the tale of their former coworker who once sliced some jalapenos and realized he had to take a ****. To make a long story short, it ends with him carrying a large glass of milk into the restroom.

You're not part psychopath. You're a soulless ginger. It's okay, you're among friends.

Seriously though, that's rough. Glad to hear you're holding up okay.

Good habit to get into is to wash your hands after handling/slicing/whatever any food item. It prevents cross contamination and avoids such unpleasantries.

Friends of mine had an electric kettle. Until they had a guest over who asked if she could use it to make hot water for tea, and proceeded to place it on the stove top to heat the water in it. Took some time to get the melted plastic off the burner.

If you've been working with spicy/oniony/garlicy stuff I'm told that one should use hand sanitizer, let dry and wash/rinse as normal to eliminate the problem.

I have not actually tried this yet; just putting it out there.Smiley: tongue

Thanks for the tip. I usually just wash my hands with antimicrobial dish soap and boiling water.

I was over at a friends house once who was dicing up some sort of peppers...probably jalepenos but I forget...then her contact needed adjusting and the evening really went downhill from there.

I had a friend who did that once. She wouldn't stop rubbing it, which just made it worse and worse. Finally, she tore her eye out and pounded it to mush with a wok, right in front of me.

And that's how I met my wife.

I hate when that happens. Having a casual dinner with close friends and suddenly someone tears their eye out and smashes it with a wok. Real party foul.
