cooking

It's a stressful time, and respected food celebrity Alton Brown took to Twitter to vent his frustrations in the form of all caps food nonsense and references to binge drinking. It's unclear if he's trying to parody contemporary food network shows or if he just got boozed up and started typing, but it's at least fun.

What's really messed up about this petty revenge is the fact that mom's support literally had to be tricked out of her. That's no good. She should've been giving her kid the morale boost from the get go. Either way, was definitely satisfying to see mom get tricked. 

Nothing tops the sweetness of a successful petty revenge like being validated by others around you that you were in the right all along. Sounds like Karen was going way too hard on the salt with her cooking. So, a simple decision to hide those salt shakers resulted in everyone being pleased. Nicely done. 

These cooking fails might make you feel better about your worst attempts at preparing some food at home. Carrots absolutely do not belong in the washing machine. Come one. 

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.
