This one is not about my mom (because she is an excellent cook) but my poor inept DH
He is totally helpless in the kitchen (and generally inside the house period!!) He called me at work one day, he didn't know where the pots and pans were
He wanted to heat up a can of Chicken Noodle Soup. He called me back about 15 minutes later and wanted to know what kind of cheap cookware I was using...seems it exploded on the stove eye
Dork had used the dome glass lid to the cookware to heat the soup in...needless to say I came home to soup and glass shards all on my stove and down in the stove eye pans...thank goodness it was before we had Jada and Bogie or they could have been injured
