A little low-carb cooking tip:

[Brook]

It helps if you turn ON the oven when you want to bake something.




That is all.

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

LOL 2big. The only "searing" I've done in my life has come in the form of a look.

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

never here af searing looks. what does that look like?

[Brook]

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

A "searing look" is that look I toss at one of my kids when we're sitting down to a semi-formal dinner and Sammy-Jammy throws her head back and lets out a belch that would make a sailor alternate between blushing and being so proud his buttons would burst.

THAT look.

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

Don't worry Brook. You're not the only one who has done that. I was boiling some eggs once. 15 minutes later, I couldn't figure out why the water was stone cold...woulda helped if I turned on the stove!

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

LOL, Megs!!

It's good to know I'm in excellent company on the "D'oh!" moments

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

Oh thats funny. I had a late Thanksgiving once because I did the same thing.

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

(((((Lynne))))

Yep. In very good company

I walked over to throw the salmon in the oven and felt like a schmuck. LOL It's all good now! It turns out that once you manage to get the oven turned on, it bakes a pretty mean salmon steak!

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

The same goes for crockpots.


Picture this:

You've worked your fingers to the bone. You come home feeling dog tired but grateful for having had started what you know will be a killer supper in your handy-dandy crockpot.

You drag your weary bones into the kitchen, lift the lid and are treated to the sight of.............



room temperature raw meat and veggies sitting in cold broth and clumpy spices. Awww f&#k.


It was a killer supper all right. "Would you care for another helping of salmonella, dear?"

LOL! That would be a bummer. My doh moment was when the toaster wouldn't pop up. Ya think plugging it in would help?

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

I set the kitchen on fire once.

Had a Pyrex baking dish with a plastic lid sitting on the front burner. Put some water to boil on the back burner & went into another room. A few minutes later, I heard something like a gunshot from the kitchen, accompanied by swearing from my husband. Went back into the kitchen to find that I'd turned on the front burner by accident. The dish exploded, sending burned glass shrapnel everywhere. When the dish shattered, the plastic lid fell onto the burner and caught fire. Thankfully my husband and six-month-old were far enough away that no one was hurt.

Top that, I dare ya.

Re: A little low-carb cooking tip:

I don't think I can top your story, Shannon M. I've never exploded anything near a baby.

But I have set myself on fire a couple times. Yes. A couple. Perhaps a few. Do I really need to count these things?

Needless to say, I should not be allowed to use gas ranges. Or should not be allowed to wear open cardigans whilst using a gas range. Either way, I've ruined two or three hooded sweatshirts, and scared the daylights out of my roommates as I leaned accross the stove to get some spices, dropping the hem of my sweater into the gas flame in the process.

Thankfully, I've never actually been burned. But it's still a bit of excitement on a Wednesday evening.

near a baby

She wasn't near...she was several rooms away. My husband was in the next room.
