cooking

Cath never saw it coming. This guy is right up there with the likes of Ken M, when it comes to trolling the comments section, and throwing unsuspecting folks for a trip. 

This caring husband learned a tough lesson in the value of telling the truth, when it comes to your partner's cooking. In his case, it sounds like he was really trying to do the right thing. Unfortunately, his pursuit toward doing the right thing resulted in a dinner party dealing with a gnarly case of food-related illness. Sounds like they'll get over it after the wife calms down. 

This is some sticom-level family drama. Someone's lyin'-ass grandma has been pretending their secret fudge recipe is all special when in reality the exact same recipe can be found on the side of a can of evaporated milk. The real question is what to do with the information. For another dirty cheater, here's this reporter who won her office chili cook-off with store-bought chili.

We feel dumb admitting this, but we've definitely had this question too. Turns out there's a few reasons people don't frequently die in nuclear explosions every time someone tries to prepare a salad. For another interesting thing regarding the physics of nuclear explosions, here's the time tumblr uncovered the legend of the fastest manhole cover ever.

Let's not mix up the facts here, she is a filthy cheater. That said, regarding her coworker, anyone who cares this much about an office chili cook-off may not have their priorities in order. It seems like no one here is that great of a person, but such it is in the cut-throat world of office chili cook-offs. For some office stuff, here's a twitter thread about an umbrella that locked out an entire company for days, and here are funny office notes.

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was a jerk for asking his neighbor "Katie" to factor him in for her daily homemade meal regimen. Apparently he lost one of his part-time gigs and not being able to afford takeout, figured this was the next best bet. My dude, begging your neighbor for cheap homemade meals is not the way to handle business. Sounds like she was offended, and can you really blame her?

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the biggest mistakes we'd all do well to avoid making while in the kitchen baking/cooking. Things like microwaving your salad, trying to catch a falling knife, and using ketchup as pasta sauce are all prime examples of big no no's in the kitchen. 

We're not awesome cooks ourselves, but we know how to not accidentally turn a pasta dinner into a bomb. The same can't be said for some of these folks who couldn't stand the heat and should therefore remove themselves from the kitchen. For more cooking related stuff, here's Gordon Ramsey making fun of peoples mediocre cooking.

Is offending someone's grandma worse than eating soup the noxious soup she made out of rotten chicken, soy sauce and boiled eggs? For some people it was. It's actually amazing what kind of food atrocities some people will put themselves through to save face. It's harrowing, in a gross sort of way.

We're pretty sure these people know what they're getting themselves into when they send pictures of food to Gordon Ramsay, a celebrity chef known for having high standards and being mean. Some even troll him by making food that's extra terrible, just to see what he'll say. That said we're in no place to judge, we don't even eat half as well as some of these attempts.

Nobody expects you to be a great cook right off the bat. But there is a general understanding that you shouldn't be so bad that you literally explode your kitchen. Here are some embarrassing failures that probably ended in a call for fast food or the hospital.

Twitter user @mccanner, went ahead and challenged an incendiary tweet claiming that millennials are the worst generation of cooks known to this world yet. She broke out the Google search research skills with a fiery passion. It seems like she's presented a solid case for why this dumb survey about millennials is in fact dumb.
