I've never professed to be a great cook, but find that I can muster through the basics.
Over the past couple years I've made some pretty bigs boo-boos though.
The first mistake I can remember making while cooking was the first time I made chocolate chip cookies. They came out flat as could be. Mom and I figured that she accidentally told me the wrong conversion for tsp to mL and I ended up putting too much baking powder in the dough.
The next mistake (that I admit to making twice) that I can remember was putting a pot on the stove to boil for pasta, and walking away and forgetting about until I started to smell something burning. Ended up boiling the pot dry. The first time, I remember frantically phoning Mom at work to see if I could salvage the pot in any way, but sadly, it wasn't salvageable. The second time, I could tell right away the pot was a goner.
Recently, I put a pot of rice on the stove to come to a boil before turning it down. Once again, walked away and ended up forgetting about it, till my sister knocked on my bedroom door and said that my rice was boiling. When I went to the stove, it wasn't boiling. There was no water left for it to boil. I almost "toasted" another pot, but luckily, this one was caught just in "nick of time"

That's so funny! I wonder if you might have better luck exclusively using the microwave?
Oh Stacy! I always thought you liked to eat out because restaurant food is tasty. Turns out you're really trying to save the world from the possibility of you burning the house down.
