I was making a bearnaise sauce, and managed to set fire to a kitchen towel twice

Oh, me and my friend burned down her house when we were toddlers by putting a plastic salad drawer from the fridge onto the hob and lighting it.

My ex's mum cooked a sunday roast, put everything on the table and as we were tucking into our cauliflower we noticed it was more than a little al dente, she had forgotten to cook it.

I love the daffodil bulb story!


Sharing a house at uni, we were all getting used to cooking for ourselves for the first time. One of my housemates was following a recipe which called for "two cloves of garlic". Unfortunately his understanding of "clove" was what most people consider to be a "bulb".

We let him get as far as peeling and chopping one bulb of garlic before we took pity on him and let him know his mistake. Actually, it was mainly because we worried about the house reeking of garlic!

I don't eat cheese!

Weirdo!

I hate it when I manage to burn the garlic and I can never get fried eggs quite right, but otherwise I'm perfect

What, the whole house?

Well it wasn't like a big pile of ashes or anything, but I'm pretty sure most of the downstairs and a bit of the upstairs of the house was gutted.

Oooh, only just seen this...no, it looked really bad, but I was there and put it out...you were only about two. It coated most of the two nearest downstairs rooms with this really thick black soot and also part of the stairs....I was in another room with my friend and her newborn and you and your toddler mate were just playing with wooden spoons and plastic bowls etc and one of you managed to get a big fridge salad tray with stuff in it on the cooker and light the gas...suddenly this wall of black smoke just poured in and I got my mate who was completely panicking + newborn and you and other toddler out and put out the fire...kitchen was worst damaged and the cooker was a write-off, but the rest just was covered in thick black sticky plasticky soot. It did look really bad, but the rest of the house didn't catch fire.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I had no idea you remembered that to be honest....you were still pre-lingual.

 

[bluestreak]

never underestimate the power of kids to remember their parents fuck ups

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Oi! It wasn't my house and it wasn't my fuck-up! I was the calm one who got everyone out and put out the fire!
