Look at me in my chef’s outfit. Smart eh? Now for a gastronomical masterclass. Move aside, Gordon Ramsey!
Right. Crack an egg, plop. Three more, plop plop plop. Whoops, one missed!
Add a drop of milk, splash. Oh, some’s spilt on the floor.
Plug in the whisk, press the button and ….. wizzzz! Oh, the ceiling!
Into the pan and a bit of a stir. Secret ingredient, a little pepper … oh, the top came off the pot! Never mind.
Onto a plate, well, most of it, and …voila!
‘Sweetheart, supper’s ready!’
‘Why that face? You can’t make an omelette without making a mess!’
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and Todd Foltz for the photo.
Click Froggie to see what everyone else has come up with!
Haha! Good one.
I assume you mean the story, not the omelette! Thanks, Sadje.
I do, but the omelette could have been good too.
Wonderful – although I’m not sure what Gordon Ramsey would think – there would be swearing!
The air would be blue, that’s for sure! Cheers Iain.
Nice one, and so true. When I cook, anyway.
Makes it more exciting! Cheers Anthony.
Are you spying on me? Yesterday I went to make an omelet. Cracked the egg, threw the egg in the sink and put the shell in the bowl. Even I had to laugh. I’ll blame it on the virus.
Haha! One of my regular mistakes is to separate an egg and throw the wrong part down the plughole! Of course, it’s the virus – for the time being anyway!
Dear Keith,
Kitchen disasters. I’ve had a few. Guess the yolk’s on the cook. Your frog cracks me up.
Shalom,
Rochelle
…but then again too few to mention! Thanks for a very punny comment Rochelle!
My lips are sealed. 😉 But there is the time I left eggs on the stove to boil, came back up to my office. A while later I heard “Pop! Pop! Pop!” All of the water boiled off and the poor eggs exploded. Shell fragments and egg bits everywhere.
Haha, good job you weren’t in there at the time, it could have quite perilous!
This is almost too true to life to be funny. And she won’t be the only partner left to clean up after, as he goes on to some “more important work.” 😉
Of course, he needs to get his priorities right!
fun story – thanks for the smile
My pleasure Carol!
I have someone like that in my immediate circle too. 🙁
Oh dear! Cheers Sandra.
Haha I loved your take on the prompt. It was hilarious
I’m delighted, thanks so much Shweta.
Maybe it’s time for An Idiot’s Guide to Boiling an Egg, and you’re the man for the job!
I’m wondering if that’s a compliment or not! Any idea what my job was before I retired?
I think that, next time, Gordon’s spouse will make the omelet herself.
That would make sense! Thanks Gabriella.
I wonder how much made it onto the plate! Funny story, Keith, and love froggie!
Not a lot I suspect! Cheers Jade.
Some people shouldn’t be allowed in the kitchen. All the same the intent was good. I’m love to hear Gordon Ramsey’s take on the cooking skill. 😀
I’m not sure I would! It would be a F-word overload!
A string of beeps. 😀
i guess it was just a ruse so he wouln’t be asked to cook again. 🙂
I suspect you are right plaridel! Cheers.
Bwahahahahahahaha That’s a real good one! hahahaha Thanks for sharing my friend I really needed that laugh. Tomorrow morning I have heart tests to do and I needed that belly laugh for sure. You’re duh best! Hugs talk to you soon!
Awww, thank you so much for your delightful comment – and I wish you well for tomorrow. Virtual hugs coming your way too.
Hi Keith – you could cook outside today … no mess at all?! Take care – Hilary
That’s true, although the family in the flat below mine could suffer if they are sitting on their balcony!
I know someone who makes an omelette just like that. 😀
Oh dear!!!
A chef’s outfit does not a chef make 🙂
So true draliman!
I hope you’re going to clear it up yourself?
But of course (not!)
Oh! Every step of this reminded me of what the kitchen looks like when my husband cooks. But, one can’t complain. He makes excellent meals.
Hopefully he cleans up later! Cheers Alicia.
He does!!!!
That is some mess you described. As a youngster I do recall a full box of eggs [catering size pack, 144 eggs I think] being thrown across the hotels kitchen, fortunately it was not meant for me.
That would have been even more of a mess! Cheers Mike
Sounds/looks like my Sunday Morning Kitchen with Dad as the Cooker Man…I try to remember that it’s all about making family memories. 🙂
It is. If everything had gone to plan it would have been forgotten!
The lengths some people will go to get out of doing something… 😉
Worth it though!
What a wonderful collection of stories. Your’s made me think of Dr Seuss Eggs à la Superdooper….or sthg like that, can’t recall the exact title, read it to my children, over and over, didn’t know it when growing up.
Wishing you a very creative summer. You are so busy, can’t keep up with your prolific blog, posts saved though ….
Thanks for your delightful comment, it’s much appreciated.
I’m not sure the omelette was worth all that mess!
So that’s what they mean by ‘May you live in eggciting times’. Fun story.
Haha, absolutely right!
Omelette, the life saving dish for many. I like the way you add humour to your stories, Keith. A nice read 🙂
Delighted to have fed your funny bone!
No offense but it sounds pretty awful! I’m glad I’m not the one cleaning your kitchen!!!
I pay well!
Perhaps the cooking wine was being drunk/spilled at the time!
But of course! Cheers James.
Move over Gordon Ramsey, indeed! Keith is raising the roof! Great post as I could see it all happening! 🙂
…from a safe distance I trust!
Absolutely! 😷
As long as the cook cleans!
The cook was way too exhausted to do do that!
And that is why i am blessed that Sweetie was a chef for a while, and knows how to clean up after himself!
I was actually a chef too, and despite my story I am almost obsessive about keeping my kitchen immaculate!
That’s my roommate to a T. She once got spaghetti sauce on the ceiling. It’s a good thing she’s a good cook. The bad part is, cleaning falls firmly on my side of the division of labor.
Hard luck! I trust it’s worth it though!
Fair exchange.
