Mishaps

Over the NYE weekend I was at the deer lease with my son, my boyfriend, and his family. I was cooking breakfast when one of "those" things happened to me. Have you ever created a huge mess because you felt too much heat through an oven mitt or was afraid that you might?

I had been preparing the breakfast meats on the griddle and it was time to drain the grease into a bowl in order to cook the eggs. I had no choice but to use towels as I could not find any mitts. One towel that I had selected was especially small. Then it happened! My mind told me I was about to get burned, mind you I had not been nor did I feel any heat, but my hand instantly responded and I let go of the griddle full of grease.

Yes, I let it go....have you ever done that?

It happened to me once before years ago when I was baking brownies. That time I actually felt the heat coming through an old oven mitt and it did burn me. The beautiful cranberry colored glass dish and hot brownies ended up all over my kitchen floor.

Have you had any kitchen mishaps that either caused embarrassment or disappointment? I was disappointed that we lost those delicious brownies years ago and I spilled the grease all over just as my boyfriend walked into the kitchen at the lease....yes, I was embarrassed!

You're next...Confess,
