I am hopelessly domestically challenged. Thank God VoodooMan loves to cook! LMAO I have had the worst time trying to cook beans! At first, I couldn't get them done enough. I discovered from a reliable source that I had put too much water in the crock pot. I then tried to finish them on the stove but ended up boiling all the water out. Yes, the stench is horrible! LOL I've done that 2-3 times. I did it when we had company coming for dinner, so I then had to cook something else. My OCD was giving me hell, let me tell ya! I hurriedly cooked some macaroni and cheese to replace the beans. When I tried to drain the water off the noodles, I spilt them all into the kitchen sink. By this time, I was a nervous wreck because I was running out of ideas for dinner and also running out of things to cook. My ex told me to make the mac and cheese anyway. EWWWWWW Do you know how many germs are in the kitchen sink?!?! I didn't eat any of it....*whistles innocently* I have also been known to serve lasagne that was still frozen in the middle, undercooked chicken, overcooked pork, roast as tough as leather, biscuits that were as pretty as the picture on the White Lily bag but hard as a rock.....
