Or how about the butter dish? I can't tell you how many times my finger
has
gone directly into the soft butter on the counter or table. I have three
kids here and there's always a cup or bowl of something in an odd place.
We
try to teach them to clean up after themselves, but hey they're little
so
sometimes they do it, sometimes they don't. Smile.

Oh man, days like that all of the time!...My son is ADHD, so he tends to
set
things down, just about anywhere, so needless to say, on my bad days, I
usually knock over a cup of chocolate milk and put my hand in last
night's
cereal before I realize that I should go somewhere and sit
down...lol...And
my husband will be the first to tell me...I'm just extremely damned glad
when things do work out in the kitchen, because a couple of years ago, I
would have given up on it when it didn't go well, and after meeting all
of
you, I can say that if you keep trying, I can too...So, after those days
mellow out, I'll catch y'all back in the kitchen...(grin)

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!
