Cooking 101

Hey, does anyone remember that show "You can't do that on television" -or some derivative combination of those words, and the pale of green goo that would get dumped on a contestant's head if he mistakenly uttered the word 'no'?

Well guess what? If you spend an hour and a half chopping onions and peeling carrots to go into your green lentil soup, and then with a toss of your hair and a wad of cherry lip balm spread across your lips, you saunter out the door to go and meet your friend for coffee, unwittingly LEAVING THE STOVE ON, only to return to an overwhelming smell of oregano that hits you in the face like a brick when you walk back in the door two hours later, voila! You will have a pot with contents that exactly resemble the slime that would ooze down the heads of the poor actors on that ridiculous show.

Now you know.

I could never watch that show. It always seemed to be on at the most inconvenient times...
