My roommate is attempting to cook.

[notfred]

He tried to peel a potato, but he couldn't figure out how to do it. He looked like he was going to cut himself with the potato peeler. I had to give him a potato peeling lesson. After that, he started cutting up the potatoes to boil (he was making maxhed potatoes) and started chopping them up into the tiniest peices possible.

After that, he pulled out the 9 POUNDS of chocolate chips he bought to make chocolate chip cookies. When asked why he bought so many, his reply was, "I wanted to make 3 batches of cookies". Based on his recipe, he has enough chips for 8 batches of cookies. He doesn't even have enough flour for that many cookies.

I'm not predicting good results. Also, his mom is sick so he's going to try to make the turkey tomorrow for her. We were discussing gravy and he had no idea what "giblets were". I'm glad I'm not eating thanksgiving dinner with him.

He should just buy one of those "arranged meals" from a gourmet grocery store. In his situation, it would be a lot less hassle than he's going through now.

 

[nageov3t]

I've never understood how people could be so incapable of cooking

there are directions... just follow them 🙂

 

[Howard]

I have no idea what giblets are, unless they're another name for internal organs. 😕

Ahh... I was right.

 

[Chronoshock]

It's actually faster if you halve or quarter them before boiling.

hm, with the roommate cutting the potatoes into small pieces, i would think he would end up with a watered down dissolved potato paste. heh

/me shrugs

you seem to have a habit of constantly complaining about your roommates....

everyone has flaws. part of being human.

i feel sorry for them.

 

[BZeto]

Well, I give him respect if he does the dishes afterwards, something my roommates dont do.

Just like the eggs I had in HS! 🙁

 

[DaWhim]

cooking is a habit.

 

[Evadman]

On the same note, I only eat cheese if it comes out of a can.

can you buy pre-gibleted turkeys? I got a free bird for spending $75 at Ralphs but there's NFW I'm digging thru its guts.

 

[notfred]

[SirStev0]
