so today basically summed up my cooking skills. i am not good at it. we didn't really have a dinner plan at my house tonight since like half of my family wasn't going to be home for dinner, so i was like hey guys i'll make some macaroni and cheese and hotdogs and we can have hamburgers too. so all went well with the hotdogs, but the rest was pretty bad. in a funny way though. i made the meat into hamburger shape and put the hotdogs in the water and cooked those. i started to make macaroni and cheese. whilst i thought everything was boiling away, i walked away for a little bit. like 5 minutes later my mom calls me into the kitchen and she was like "what are you doing" and i was like "cooking dinner" and she said "uhh no you aren't." apparently i put the macaroni in the water before i boiled the water, and then never turned on the heat to boil the water once the macaroni was in it. so the whole time i was out of the kitchen thinking my food was cooking, it wasn't. and then she sees the hamburgers i set aside and she started laughing and was like, did you press these and i was like yea...apparently my hamburgers were not made right, because they were falling apart and didn't look much like hamburgers but more like little meat blobs. i thought they were cute, but apparently they did not suffice. they were pretty pathetic and would never have survived the grill. so mom did them over. and i thought my dad was going to cook them on the grill when he got back from picking up my sister, but there was miscommunication so he didn't know that i was expecting him to do that. and theeen, once my macaroni had actually been boiled and drained and whatnot, i went to add the cheese and managed to get it like all over the place. my dad was like, where is a video camera when you need one. because watching me cook was apparently pretty funny. so i'm just like yeea...cooking's not my thing. see this is why i need to keep eric around, because i won't be able to feed myself once i'm out of my parents' house. ahhh yea...life's good. ^__^
