My uncle had came to our house while we were gone and said he'd smelled sauerkraut.
The stove was electric with knobs that would turn all the way around. Instead of getting the knob to "OFF" it went over to "LOW". The entire bottom was burned out of the skillet. There was a handle and a ring left. The stove cleaned up, and it was amazing that the only thing we lost was the 'kraut and the skillet. The Corelle plate is still used every day. It has a scortched spot on the bottom. AFter that, we always played a game at dinner to see who had the "burnt plate".
The skillet was, I think a Mirro brand, and a non-stick type, with the black insides, and after this, the ring that was left turned a really pretty bright blue.

DH just told me a kitchen story AND an old girlfriend story....
When he was in high school, while at her house, his girlfriend cooked some boiled eggs and set them on the table to cool off.
After a few minutes, one of them busted open and it had a biddy in it, feathers and all.
I'm not sure I actually believe this story...all you chicken owners...is this possible? She probably boiled it on the stove for at least 20 minutes, unless she really knew how to cook...LIKE ME (SAYING IT LOUD FOR HUBBY TO HEAR ME) lol,...
can you believe I just went in living room and asked him if he saw this himself, and he said yes...it was on the table. The egg had just burst open and you could see the chick. If it had been in a nest under a chicken for one more day, it would have hatched.
I said, "who was the girlfriend?"
"I ain't gonna tell you."
"Why not?"
"Because it's none of your business."
"You don't remember, do you?" "You just remember the egg."
"No, I do remember. Her name was p---- g---"
I said, "why didn't you want to tell me? You told me the story, you put it out there on the floor....you watch all those court shows."
Ok, so I'm watching this now...points to tv....MEN!!! w/ old girlfriends, really. Hmmm, think I'll get him in the kitchen and 'cause' a disaster!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmmm, can't think of anything apart from the many times I have cut and burnt myself while I was doing my chef training years ago.
Although I'm sure my Mom would remind me of a few disasters with food coluring spilt everywhere when I was little!

They just weren't peeled.... :roll: I forgot to do that little step. Anyway..DH said.."Ah...aren't you supposed to peel these before frying?" I replied..."Well...this is how MY mama did it.." Now for the best part...Years later, we were at Mom's to eat Christmas dinner. She brought out a lovely ham and Dad tried to slice it...she had left the plastic wrapper on it!...I winked at my DH and said..."See...I told you...MY mama leaves all the wrappers on!"...We couldn't stop laughing long enough to tell them what we were laughing at! :lol: :lol:
