The aftermath of a failure

I am nowhere close to being a good chef but normally cooking in our house involves little to no drama.

Until you invite the in-laws over and plan a simple meal.

Then you are just asking for trouble.

Because you end up with:

-- A very painful and sensitive to anything dental filling as soon as the anaesthetic wears off (just when you are cooking)

-- Chicken soup ALL OVER the kitchen

-- Second degree burns caused by the chicken soup explosion of the beloved blender

-- A little nervous breakdown in the middle of the whole fiasco

-- A nagging feeling your guests are eating quietly and pretending to like the food because they are afraid there are knives and other sharp objects near you


So, happy fall to you too!
