That pasta looks good.

I’m pretty sure you husband appreciates your cooking skills.

I also love how easy it is to make the crepe/pasta.
I’ve been making manicotti that same way for years.

My wife didn’t get the “cooking gene” either. But don’t worry, she knows it and it’s OK with her. Because, well, I’m not that bad of a cook.

Funny thing is she did the same thing with the label – TWICE too! No offense, but I really didn’t think anyone else would ever repeat that.

Haha this totally sounds like something I would do! My wife won’t let me near the kitchen…. Lets see the last time I tried to make coffee I ran the entire thing without any coffee grounds so we had a nice hot pot of water! I usually set paper and things on a hot stove, the smell alerts up soon enough! Good to know I’m not the only won, hey it’s just who we are!

we are in the same shoes, i don’t have the “cooking genes”.
but then congratulations that you were able to cook a decent recipe.
i am just hesitant about that “plastic” that you used. is it safe? don’t they leave a smell in your cooked food?

Wedding favors girl — I feel your pain. So would my brother in law, who once heated up a glass carafe of coffee on the stove top and the plastic handle melted right down into the coils. D’oh! p.s. Please don’t burn your house down and I’ll try not to as well.

Thank you! This is a shout out to all of the girls who did not get the cooking gene, but we try anyways, right? I have one better for you. When I first started cooking, or I mean, tried to start cooking, I wanted to heat something up in the oven so I turned it on and put it in. A little while later I started smelling rubber. I looked in the oven and my PLASTIC bowl had melted. Yes, plastic does not belong in the oven and I guess this is how I found out! If I had a dime for every one of my blond moments I would be rich!! I loved this post. Its nice to know there are others like me in the world. You rock!!

UPDATE: THE PAN IS DEAD! My husband used the pan to fry up a burger last week and after he soaked it afterwards, I couldn’t get the residue off. Even after washing and scrubbing. We think the pan was defective from the start. It’s not me!

flit — You mean from the roast packaging? Hmmm, tasty. Not!

LaTonya — Oh, you and I are cut from the same cloth. There was that time I made tuna casserole without any tuna. D’oh! Don’t worry. No one has to know about your mistake. Just you, me and everybody who reads this blog.

Katty — I love that you still salvaged what you could. Exactly what I would do. No sense wasting perfectly delicious plastic-wrapped buns! Oh, and is there no more wonderful aroma than cinnamon buns baking in the oven?

lolz this reminds me of my first day in kitchen, i was 15 by that time and i really didnt know how to boil eggs or rice, not even the basics. I decided to make cinnamon rolls I let them proof on a tray before baking, covered them with a plastic wrapping sheet to keep off drying. It was 2 in the morning, tired, oven at 365, I put the tray into the oven. 20 fragrant minutes passed, I pull them out just to look at a strange spider-web-like netting over the buns. Later i realized, I left the plastic wrap on when I put the buns in the oven. I sliced off the top, have a bit of the bottom… oh so good… so sad to find a dozen cinnamon buns go in the garbage.

OMG! I laughed soooooo hard, and was trying even harder not to laugh out loud, I’m at work!!! I was laughing because I made banana pudding (the quick and easy kind) last night, and forgot the pudding, and started whipping up chocolate chip cookies this morning before work, and didn’t have ANY flour. And I’m a good cook!

I don't think I've done that one... but cooking a roast with the little pieces of plastic & paper or whatever they are.. that I might have experience with. Maybe. flit’s last blog post..Another Reason to Love Living in Cottage Country

misspiggytoes — I go through phases like that, too. I find one or two things I can make well and that’s about it. I’ve never been one to be adventurous in the kitchen. Just not my thing. We have to admire ourselves for even trying, though. BTW, you can never go wrong with a good meatloaf.

April — Yes, twice. I’m not proud of it.

Erin — Oh, yuck! I wish measurements weren’t so, you know, important. Did you eat them anyway?

diver daisy — Thank you! I do take that as a compliment. I think I’m this way to give my husband comic relief.

Mama Bub — Consider trying it once. It’s very liberating!

You made HOMEMADE pasta? I burn grilled cheese, try a different pancake recipe EVERY SINGLE TIME and have to overcook chicken to make sure it's cooked all the way through. Impressed doesn't even begin to cover it. Mama Bub’s last blog post..Shiny Distractions
