Hello.
Today we have cooking disaster stories. What do we say? Warning alert?
What cooking disaster stories are shared in this episode?
Trigger warning.
Oh, trigger?
If you hate burning, this is not the episode for you.
Don't listen to this one.
No, skip it. Please enjoy Cooking Disasters.
Hard times come and go. Take them slow. My life. I had them both. But one thing. You gotta know. I'ma keep on shining.
Hello.
Hi.
Where are you? I think you may know the town that I'm from, Brevard, North Carolina, west of Asheville.
Oh, I bet I've ridden through there.
The land of waterfalls. Wait, is that where Lookingglass Falls is? Yep, sure is. About 10 minutes from where I'm at right now.
Oh, lovely.
We were just there. Yeah, you've given some good shout outs to the area. We appreciate it.
Okay, so you have a cooking disaster story.
I do. Yeah. So this happened about three years ago in March. Our daughter at the time was turning three and my wife was about eight months pregnant and she was going through a big pancake phase. And so we thought we're going to throw her a pancake brunch. Nice. We'll invite some family and friends over, which seemed like a great idea. It was a great idea.
She likes straight flapjacks or she likes chocolate chip. What was her jam?
The weird thing is she doesn't like syrup. Still, we can't get her to eat syrup, but she loves a pancake, chocolate chips or fruit.
Keep her off the syrup. If she don't want it, that's great.
It's her one excuse to be able to eat a sweet and she's like, nope. Oh, yeah. Day of, everything is going to plan. Pretty much everything is done. The family arrives, surprisingly going off without a hitch.
And can I ask quickly like a mechanical question? If you put a big flat top grilling surface on something, what are we cooking on?
Yeah, we're cooking on a griddle primarily and then we're in our kitchen. So we've got a stove. And so I decided I'm going to do some bacon and I'll cook it in a sheet pan sort of in bulk. which I wouldn't normally do. Being from the South, we make breakfast all the time. I grew up in a family where biscuits and gravy every weekend. Oh, yeah. Wow. Jealous. No problem with cooking a great breakfast. But on this day, obviously, there's more people showing up, probably about 20 people or so, kids, family. And so I thought, OK, I'm going to put this bacon in a sheet pan and cook it in bulk. And that'll be the quickest way to get the job done.
How much bacon are we talking in pounds?
What was the pancake brunch disaster about?
Probably two pounds, three pounds, maybe. Not a crazy amount, but enough to fill probably two sheet pans. We're almost to the point of everybody having their brunch, eating pancakes. The bacon is the last thing to kind of come out of the oven. And around that time, the family shows up, kids are playing. It's a little bit of a compact kitchen. So, you know, my mother and mother-in-law are in the kitchen. Of course, they're like, what can we do to help? Where does this go? Where does that go? And it just gets a little chaotic around family as it tends to do. So I go to reach for the bacon, open the oven. And I guess I'm just so focused. I pull it out probably a little quicker than I should. And just ever so slightly tilted it back towards me.
Oh!
entire pan of bacon grease spills down my forearm.
Oh, fuck. I can feel that.
Obviously there's the initial shock reaction, drop the pan immediately, kind of freak out a little bit. There actually wasn't a ton of pain, which is also maybe a little scarier than, you know, you don't really know what you've done in the moment. I rushed to the sink. start to rinse my arm off and this is where my wife swoops in to save the day she's a nurse comes in handy on a lot of occasions and so yeah she helps me get this thing washed off and i think at the moment i'm trying to just keep as calm as possible you know there's kids around i don't want to freak my daughter out and it sort of becomes evident what i've done almost immediately my arm starts to like blister and bubble up oh By this time, my daughter finds out.
