Yeah, sometimes you might burn something or mess something up, but never have I had a homemaker disaster like I did last night...
We had made hamburgers a few weeks ago and saved the left over raw meat (packed and frozen). Over the weekend I took the meat out so it could thaw. The plan was to fix burgers for dinner last night so after we got home I got on it. We were fungry (*effing hungry in other words). I turned on the grill and then got the meat out. I also sliced up some onion and put it in some tinfoil with seasoning and threw it on the grill. Yum - grilled onions would be super tasty. Once the grill was good and ready I went ahead and threw the burgers on there, flipped them - checked for done-ness, added cheese and brought them in. I checked for doneness once again. Everything looked OK. So, I went ahead and fixed buns for us and we sat down to eat. Justin took one bite and was immediately pissed. His burger was raw inside. WHAT? I should have known to call it a lost cause and stop there.
I didn't feel like going back out to the grill so I pulled out the trusty cast iron skillet to warm and finish the burgers. Justin was greatly opposing this idea. He was not looking forward to a twice-cooked burger. I was assuring him that everything would be fine as I put the burgers on the pan. After a minute they got to sizzling good so I moved them around and was leaning against the counter at the sink when the pan started to smoke, then SNAP - real loud. It was a cracking noise and flames shot up all around. The pan had cracked in half and a grease fire had started. I grabbed a mit to move the pan and we got the flames out with little fuss. Justin was hella pissed. Not so much that this was delaying his eating process, but totally POd that the pan was ruined. I do agree, I am quite upset as well. Cast iron is tough to get seasoned, and his Mom had given us the pan. It was his great grandmothers. So, I got out another pan, heated it carefully and finished the burgers. They were kind of dry, and by this point my tasty onions were cold. Although it was not tasty we ate it all.
This ends my crasy homemaker disater. I hope to not have another one any time soon. Byee for now!
