I swear, I'm a fairly intelligent person. Getting my masters in Finance... but I just lack kitchen common sense. I don't lack general common sense, just in the kitchen. And I'm a terrible driver.

Kira, now you have ME worried too!!! Maybe you should stick with either cup-of-noodles or delivery food....And take the bus!

Geez - I don't know what's worse - the embarassment with the handyman or cleaning up the mess - good grief
That must have taken for-e-ver.

Kira, I have done it all from buring up 2 toaster ovens to having my crock pot meal "cooking" all day with the cord not plugged in.

With the toaster ovens the fire alarm went off both times and the downstairs filled with smoke.
The second time it was chilly out so I had on my gynormous turquoise
thick fuzzy robe and some of those slipper socks
with the pompoms -well, I was running around trying to figure out how
to get the alarm turned off when the pompoms on both slippers tied around
each other and I was running with less than a foot of space of leeway between my feet.
My friend that lives on my street came down because I was hysterical on the phone with her
and she just sat there cracking up - I still haven't heard the end of it
And Luis bought me a pop up toaster

I have steamed green beans until the water was completely gone
and completely forgotten about my blanching chicken
until the entire house smelled like chicken.

And, I have to cook for my family every night -

Karen - that made me feel so much better.
