I Am Fail Chef »

For those of you who do not know, my culinary skills are comparable to those possessed by the average household hamster. I manage to screw things up which are essentially idiot-proof, like boiling pasta for instance. The one thing I can cook is stew, and that is only because all I have to do is cut stuff and throw it in a pot for an hour. But even that is occasionally botched.

I foresee a reality television program in the style of My Fair Lady — one strapping, educated chef attempts to refine my cooking habits, only to end up falling in love with his polar opposite. Or in a straight jacket. The latter being the most probable. And if some television network is getting ideas, I want said chef to have an extensive sexy food word vocabulary. He should say things like ‘al dente’, ’suffrito’ and ‘meatloaf’.

Anyway, here is an illustrative demonstration of what happened to me today.

    Oh lmao this so reminds me of me. I’m so bad at cooking I manage to screw up microwave meals, and I even managed to screw up packet creme caramelle. I refuse to use the oven in my house, the only thing I can do is spaghetti and tinned meatballs (which I frequently undercook). Wait, I lie… I do make a mean beans on toast. ;)

    Oh, you are too cruel for yourself! Every skills that are practised enough often can be developed into a good level (that allows you too make a delicious meal in this case:D). But I understand that there is a different site when we don’t want to do something just because we are not doing it well. I believe that this can be sometimes hard and sometimes funny for you:)
