Still brought up at every family get together.

When I was first married I somehow managed to catch soup on fire. Can you imagine?

My first Thanksgiving dinner for my in-laws. Yep, didn't even know there was stuff inside a turkey. FIL pulled it out. First meal for future BIL and SIL - Spagetti with meatballs, homemade bread and salad. Except as I was getting ready to serve everyone at the table I realized I hadn't cooked any spagetti. Fixed everyone another glass of wine and ran back to the kitchen.

LOLOL Preds, now that is funny! Good thing spaghetti only takes about 9 minutes to cook. Cute story.

Good thing I had plenty of wine. To this day, I'm dangerous in the kitchen!

No real disasters....but one story my mother in law never let me live down. When I first got married, I wandered the store looking for "roux".

My son almost had a major disaster on his hands when he was cooking a romantic dinner for his girlfriend's birthday. Luckily he called Mom before he put the 3 HEADS of garlic he had chopped up into the recipe. Lol. He got an education on the difference between a clove of garlic and a head of garlic!! I think that could have put a real damper on his romantic evening, don't you think?

I thought I would show off my Irish heritage and cook corned beef, cabbage, and Irish soda bread for St. Paddy's Day. The cabbage actually came out fine (I put "bread heels" on it to absorb the stench when it cooked) but the corned beef (baked) was like jerky, and the bread was like a cinder block - there was no possible way to slice it!

Now, I stick to Crockpot Reuben Sandwiches (corned beef and sauerkraut cook in the crock, then build your own sandwiches with marble rye, baby swiss, and 1000 island dressing). The family appreciates it!

Those are great!

The "roux" one reminds me of when my oldest was a little girl. She and her bff went with me to the grocery store. They begged me to let them help so I told them to go find me some "Pet brand canned milk" After a time they came running up all excited. "We couldn't find "PET" but we got "Goat"!!
