I am the notorious bad cook in my family! Due to just two incidents but they were pretty bad. For my birthday one year, I asked the entire family over for dinner. My friend and I were cooking everything. Well I had pinto beans in the pressure cooker and asked my friend to turn them down. We resumed peeling potatoes when, you probably guessed!, the relief valve exploded, beans and bean juice were doing their impression of Old Faithful and we were trying to get close enough to pull the pot off the stove and throw a hand towel over the top to contain as much as we could. Thirty minutes later when everyone started to arrive, we were still cleaning bean juice off the ceiling and trying to clean up and had totally forgotten about the rest of the meal. We wound up having hamburgers from Sonic. Do you have any idea how slippery a tile floor is with hot bean juice all over it? (by the way, we figured out that my friend had turned the heat up instead of down)
