Failed my cooking check
Jun. 19th, 2008 07:59 am I figure a critical fail means you make something totally inedible but don't know it until you try to eat it. A regular failure goes like this:
1) look through cupboards for omlet pan for 5 minutes until wife reminds you that you moved it to the hanging pan rack 6 months ago.
2) Get egg whites & cheese from fridge, cut off cheese for today's meal, return cheese block to fridge.
3) Put pan on stove to heat. Pour out suspiciously small amount of liquid from egg white container into pan. Learn egg whites froze due to placement in back of fridge.
4) stubbornly rip open egg white container, drop frozen block onto pan to melt.
5) realize you didn't spray down pan and eggs will stick. Pour eggs and egg ice into measuring cup, wipe down pan, spray pan. Return to heat.
6) pour eggs and egg ice back into pan.
7) reach for knife to have something to move the egg ice around the pan to speed melting. Knife point under towel used to wipe down pan, so towel follows knife into pan and promptly absorbs all the melted egg whites.
8) Curse. Give up on eggs. Turn off burner. Pour egg whites and ice down drain. Get english muffins for ham and cheese muffin instead.
9) Get ham from fridge. Realize muffin box has fallen onto still-hot burner, melting plastic bag. Blessedly, it fell closed side down, so plastic not melted to muffins.
10) Toast muffin, add cheese and ham, microwave to melt cheese. Eat quickly before anything else can go wrong.
In the end, it did produce a breakfast....
