A neighbor lady called and asked for some assistance , it was a time sensitive issue.

I threw on a sweat shirt and jacket and headed her way.

Twenty minutes later I returned to find the burnt heaping helping of aforementioned tots.

There goes 25 cents right down the terlit.

Still a pretty good average all in all


What's the last meal you ruined ?

Put a pork chop on the grill, forgot to turn the temp down (closing off air flow) so it stayed at full hotness, while I went inside and something on the TV caught my eye, after 10 minutes saw smoke going past the window and said the apropos shit shit shit..... went out to find char-chop, all blackened and ruined

not less than 30 minutes ago i put a burrito in he air fryer. i went into the gun room for a minute and got caught up looking at some of my 7.62x51 ammo to see how much i had and smoke alarm in the kitchen went off. well i know it works. opened the doors and aired he place out.

I’m at 6500ft, so baking almost any cake is a PITA. I tried the same recipe 3 times in one night, modifying it each time with no success.

Just burned 4 pieces of bacon trying to grill them. Not even sure of the point of living any more.

When I was a kid, we used to make popcorn in the pressure cooker with the sealing ring taken out.

Once my parents were out and I decided to make some popcorn. I forgot to take the gasket ring out.

Burned the popcorn to a crisp inside the pressure cooker. Probably turned it to plasma.

Took it outside and washed it down with the hose. It was a solid black mess inside Mom's pressure cooker. Needless, I and my sister were freaked out.

When my folks came home, yes, I was in trouble, but not nearly as much as I thought. I wound up having to scrub out as much of the popcorn reside as I could, but for the rest of the life of that pressure cooker, there remained some faint stains on the inside.

We all laugh about it now.

A couple weeks ago, I unknowingly double tapped the timer start button on my iPhone (ie hit start and then nearly immediately hit stop). I sat down in my recliner and began browsing on my laptop. Not sure how long I was browsing but I was surprised that my iPhone timer had only counted down 1 second. I raced to the kitchen, but the 400 degree convection oven had turned my meat and veggie into inedible carbon. I ended up driving to a fast food place.

I got pissed at myself for boiling a couple weenies to a crisp. All three times.
Only two times have I over boiled eggs. Eggs blow up real good

Mom had just put a pan on the stove to boil some eggs, when Dad asked her if she wanted to go out to eat. When they got home the fire department was in the house to put out the fire. Apparently there wasn’t much fire but lots of stinky burned egg smoke, which triggered the smoke alarm hooked to the security system. The replacement front door was pretty expensive, Dad said.
