Oo, that's a scary one. I'm blocking on mine at the moment, but I know
I've
had those, too. Like you, I've learned I do better when I take my time
and
remember to check things. When I rush around and try to do too many
things
at once, I make mistakes.

Hi Vicki. Oh man, now that's a rough day if I do say so myself!
I too had a bit of a learning experience when my son was just three months
old. I had made a large pot of Navy beans and ham in the crock pot. Well,
when cleaning up the mess after dinner, I wiped the counter around the
crock
pot and got a little shocked when my hand with the damp rag touched the
side
of the cooker. I didn't think much of it really. Well, a few minutes
later
when I went to take the inside part out of the cooker, I got a jolt of
electricity that dropped me to my knees. I thought I was going to die and
leave my family right there in my kitchen floor! My husband saw me drop
and
he came running. Turns out the cord to the crock pot was tucked down
inside
under the pot in between the heating element and the pot. It had been like
that all day, just cooking away. So, from now on every time I use my slow
cooker I triple check my cord to make sure it is fully stretched out of
the
inside. Woosh, I'll never forget that one. Maybe we should come up with a
list for blind cooks and the horror stories. Or funny stories, depending
on
the story of course.

Geri and everybody,
I think we all have them, frustrations that is. But you had three in a
row
so it will hopefully be smooth sailing for a while. (smile)
Not to get us off on horror stories here, Once years ago, I had this glass
casserole dish that I liked. Can't remember the brand. I made a casserole
and put it in the oven to bake. When it was done I took it out with pot
holders. The dish however and at some previous point unbeknowns to me,
developed a hair line cracke. I couldn't feel it. But when I took the
casserole out of the oven the bottom fell out of the dish. In cleaning it
up, I managed to burn myself on the oven, not severely. But then in my
haste, I slipped and fell in the spilled casserole. So there you go.
With
sight that episode would have been handled more easily. That's my long
ago
story of the day, and I'm sticking to it. To this day I always inspect my
cookware, especially glass baking dishes. I was no worse for the ware,
and
a bit wiser for the experience.
Vicki

Ok, so I'm having kitchen frustrations. I love to cook, but sometimes
doing
it without vision can be aggravating. Do any of you get aggravated in the
kitchen? I put a beef stew on to cook all day in the slow cooker. It's a
cold day here in Phoenix and a great day to smell beef stew all day long.
Anyway, I was chopping vegetables and meat and washing my hands
repeatedly.
Ran out of paper towels so grabbed a dish towel from the drawer. Went to
lay
down my knife and knocked the dish towel into the dirty sink water. It
was
my only towel! Went to set a pan of brownies on the table because they
were
in my way on my small counter top and knocked over my daughters glass of
apple juice. Had sticky apple juice all over the place mats on the table
and
under paper work, that of course shouldn't have been on the kitchen table
anyway.
Anyway, I'm frustrated! I'm not the type to woh is me, but.ug!
