I get out one of those frozen pizzas from the freezer. I preheat the oven.... stick it in and wait 24 min like it says. I take it out.... looks good. Start to cut it and....... WTF? There was cardboard under the damn pizza! :| It had become part of the pizza so it was ruined..... ugh! I opened the package and slid it onto the pan..... I didn't even see it. Oh well...... ordered a pizza from Papa Johns.......

BTW, how much should I tip this pizza guy? The total came out to $11.86.....

I have someone convinced that it is the best thing in the world if she cooks for me ! And she knows that flings are OK but I wd. never even consider her as a g/f

YOU are the reason that things like Preparation H has warnings like "remove suppository from foil wrapping before inserting"


(Hehehe, saw those funny warnings on Letterman years ago, still get a chuckle from them)

I did something similar once. My mom was going out so she told me to put in a dish with rolls on it into the oven at a certain time so that everything would be done at the same time. I was just like yeah yeah, ok. So the time comes and without thinking I throw it on the rack and leave. Half an hour later I come back and pull the stuff out and realize I had left the saran wrap on top of the rolls when I put them in :eek:

Could some of the guys that usually post "people who can't use computers are assholes" chime in here?

Hmm..

I got a pack of 2 Safeway pizzas and added extra mozza cheese the other day. It turned out excellent.

Today I got frozen salmon, tuna and red snapper. We had a sashimi party.

Cooking is not hard. :p

That' ok.....I threw a frozen pizza in the oven the other night. It finishes cooking, I pull it out of the oven and sit it on my stovetop to cool and be cut, the second the pan touched my stovetop there were sparks and the electricity went out of 1/2 my house. Just one more reason I'm ripping out the old appliances and putting in new gas ovens and stove.

heh, I'm a better cook than most women my age.

Of course, that doesn't say too much because some of them couldn't cook instant noodles if their lives depended on it.

I enjoy cooking. I am also quite good at it. It is the clean up I hate.

If you want a super easy meal, just buy bags of frozen chinese dumplings. Boil them until they float. They should be done by then. Buy hot sauce, dumpling sauce, or soy sauce and dip them according to how you like it.

You can also fry the dumplings and they taste twice as good when you do. Get a flat skillet, spread cooking oil on it, heat the skillet and evenly place the dumplings across the skillet. After that, add water till the dumplings are half submerged. Let the water boil off and check the bottom side of the dumplings. If the bottom side is golden brown, they should be done. You can use the same sauces as above.

Live crabs are also super easy to cook and it's not terribly expensive if you are just buying for yourself, it's one of my favorite snacks. Heavily salt a pot of boiling pot of water and toss in the crab for 10-12 minutes. Remember to pick up the crabs from the rear, to avoid getting pinched.

Soup is impossible to mess up. Start with say a basic can of chicken noodle soup and just toss in vegetables and say ham until you get the flavor you like. Just remember not to boil it so long that the vegetables turn to mush.

Spagehtti is pretty easy also, but you have to be careful not to over cook the pasta. Buy a jar of sauce, boil it and again add meats and vegetables until you are happy. If you want to add say traditional italian sausages, you have to fry them first until they are done and then put them in the sauce.
