I assume it was so you had more counter space when it was closed. You would have to open it up when you cooked. I decided to make a delicious mexican food feast for my hubby. I as using all the burners on the stove to make various things and I was about halfway through dinner when the lid to the stove came crashing down knocking every single pan on the floor. I was covered in food along with our entire kitchen. I was in tears when my husband found me. He laughed a bit and then suggested that we go to the Spaghetti House down the street - after I got cleaned up!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130332781633568891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475361409430947994.post-31569474067263915482010-09-21T19:33:12.875-06:002010-09-21T19:33:12.875-06:00Such funny stories!

I had to baste some chicken in the over and scrape under it every 10-15 minutes. There was also something on the stovetop - probably green beans or something. The first basting/scraping came and went and I was so proud of myself. My friend called and I was telling her how domestic I was being. I wasn't really in those days. We continued talking and I basted/scraped again. I'd set the spatula down on the stove between the burners and the oil had dripped off it onto the stove. We had a gas stove and I noticed the oil had made its way into the dip where the burner was on. I knew that was bad and I had to clean it up so I grabbed paper towels. Without turning off the burner (cuz that would make sense) I started wiping up the oil that had dripped down that I didn't want to catch on fire and the next thing I knew the paper towel itself was on fire. I shouted something about how I was burning down my house and hung up on my friend so I could put out the fire I'd just started. I was able to get it all under control fairly quickly and when I got to a rehearsal later that night my friend (from the phone) ran up and asked if I still had a house.hairyshoefairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939329143107250948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475361409430947994.post-11920459473102166572010-09-21T17:51:55.608-06:002010-09-21T17:51:55.608-06:00Ha ha ha!

H...You want me to chose just one cooking disaster?<br /><br />Hahahahahahahaha!<br /><br />I've had so many failures in the kitchen that they all just kind of blend together......<br /><br />I will tell you about the time my daughter had a friend over and they decided to make cupcakes, but when they pulled them out of the oven they were still runny. She was convinced that something was wrong with the recipe and thought it told her to put in too much water, until I pointed out that the oven was not on.<br />(in her defense, it was on when she put the cupcakes in, however, it turned off soon after) (What? Your oven doesn't turn itself off at random times???)<br /><br />Then there was the time that my son made a cake and the batter was really runny, but he baked it anyway. We later discovered that while he had followed the directions on the cake box perfectly, he had used the frosting mix instead of the cake mix.<br />It was a really funny looking cake.Jillybeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12150574987267072428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475361409430947994.post-31981351447638452212010-09-21T12:07:30.310-06:002010-09-21T12:07:30.310-06:00I think you win with this one because chicken and ...I think you win with this one because chicken and rice sounds like it would be MUCH harder to clean up than just a few peppers and tomatillos.<br /><br />I love newlywed cooking stories.
