Oh too funny! This reminds me of a time thats not nearly as funny as

yours but funny none the less....... I had always heard " she/he

couldn't boil a pot of water without burning it " whenever someone was

talking about anothers cooking and I always looked at it as something

used to express how bad of cook someone was and not that they actually

couldn't boil a pot of water.

Well I found out how easy it is to burn a pot of water...LOL I was

having a bad fibro fog day and forgot I had put on some water for

ramen noodles until the horrible smell, I hobbled to the kitchen to

find the pan and burner sunk into the stove and all I could do was

laugh. Typically I cry over anything but not this time...LOL
