Story from my mom's childhood- One time, a neighbor of my mom's gave my grandmother some capybara meat (my mom is from Venezuela, if I've never mentioned that before). No one in my family had ever cooked the stuff before, so they had no idea what to do with it. Now, I don't know if this is normal, but capybara apparently smells *really* bad when it's cooking. Bad enough that, according to my mom, the pot it was cooked in was ruined and had to be thrown away. They never tried cooking it again.

Is there anything you're not allowed to cook anymore?

So the capybara bothers you,but the mole,that's fine? :P
If I cook one of my pasta experiments,it's when there are no others in the room to complain about the noxious vapours. Hey,I just fling in pasta,sauce,Worcestershire sauce, mayo,mustard,soy sauce,raisins,chutney,anything else that's in the cupboard that will do.
The result has been likened to some sort of chemical weapon...

Quoth MoonCat View PostWhen we had a coffee maker in the office, I stopped making coffee because apparently coffee that takes wallpaper off at 30 paces is not everybody's favorite
I accidentally drank some and got the jaggies and shakes really really bad. I keep kidding him as to WHY he had NOT had a massive heart attack yet. and to add to that he might add a couple of tea bags AND cool it off with Mountain Dew

Rice. The rice cooker apparently hates me, or knows I have Sicilian blood (pasta is the starch of choice in southern Italy) and retaliates by turning my rice into a hockey puck. I swear I do the same thing as Hubbs and his comes out perfect.Last edited by WishfulSpirit; 08-05-2015, 06:40 PM."I try to be curious about everything, even things that don't interest me." -Alex Trebek

I live alone now so I make whatever the hell I want though I do have history with bad grilled cheese sandwiches. But back in the day my mother would leave the house whenever I start to bake stuff for the holidays. I used to burn things and then get mad. Took awhile it took a long time for me to realize what I was doing wrong.I would have a nice day, but I have other things to do.

Yes, I was talking about the sauce. FWIW, our ceiling in the kitchen is something like 10 feet up. I walked away for less than 5 minutes, and came back to a CIRCLE, a good 4 feet in diameter, of splattered sauce. All over the stove, all over the wall behind, all over the vent hood, all over counters to either side of the stove, on the CEILING for crying out loud. Then, to add the final insult, the stuff was inedible.You're only delaying the inevitable, you run at your own expense. The repo man gets paid to chase you. ~Argabarga

Not strictly cooking but after tripping and impaling one into his chin a good friend of mine is not allowed near plastic camping spoons...I am so SO glad I was not present for this. There would have been an unpleasant duct tape incident. - Joi
