It’s a sign
August 15, 2007
Tonight I was cooking dinner, homemade sauce and pasta if you must know. I reached across the stove top to grab the pot of boiling pasta water and in the process singed all the hair off of my forearm. Granted I don’t have a particularly hairy arms, but it still smelled.
And I think that it matches well with the Eau de Burnt Hamburger I have been sporting all day.
I am choosing to take this as a sign that I should no longer cook, at least until I get my new kitchen
Completely unrelated, I just trimmed the front of my 6 yr olds hair with a pair of round tipped safety scissors. I am a woman of many (questionable) talents.

Not surprised that you could cut hair with blunt scissors - I mean if my kids can do it…But…am surprised that you were able to do it in a fashion-passable manner (I am going on faith for that one)
August 15th, 2007 at 6:42 pmWow, cutting hair with safety scissors. I’ve never been able to get them to cut even construction paper. I hate those things.
As for the singing…I definitely think this is a sign that you should take a break from cooking. Perhaps you can hire a chef…or maybe the kids can just take over. Good luck with that!
August 15th, 2007 at 6:54 pmPersonal chef…sounds good to me! Then he/she can get all the weird looks and get asked if they are having a (cereal) party!
August 15th, 2007 at 7:00 pmBack away from the kitchen woman. Have the cabana boy bring your wine.
August 15th, 2007 at 7:31 pmNo! no more cooking for you. Clearly you need a vacation. Cereal and milk is my staple for when I “can’t” cook.
August 15th, 2007 at 7:38 pmTime for a cereal party!
August 15th, 2007 at 7:57 pmNo more cooking. No way. You need a new kitchen.
August 15th, 2007 at 8:00 pmI guess I should not tell you that I just posted a gluten free chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe…..
August 15th, 2007 at 9:34 pmWHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE?
Bears, snakes, and now everything’s a-blaze!
Okay, your family’s diet should consist only of juices and raw foods from here on out. Add protein powder and wheat grass and you’ve got a square meal. Furthermore, stay away from the stove, the river where you saw the snakes and the bear habitat in your backyard.
And, if you see the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse galloping down from the sky, don’t take a picture, don’t blog it, just throw the kids in the car and hightail it outta there.
Please? Thank you.

August 16th, 2007 at 4:16 amAnyone else find it odd that Chris takes pictures of an oven fire but does not produce a picture of her newly-shorn son? Maybe it’s just me.
Oh, don’t go near the kitchen until it’s all stainless and pretty. I’ve always maintained that cooking is dangerous.
August 16th, 2007 at 9:24 amTalented you are. Being a Parent takes a lot of talent we did not even know we had before we became a parent.

August 16th, 2007 at 6:04 pmYour hair will grow back. Probably in my nose and ears.
August 16th, 2007 at 9:32 pmThat is amazing, I want you to come to my house and cut
August 19th, 2007 at 9:36 pmhair with rounded scissors, that might be fun!
THAT’S WHAT I NEED TO DO.
August 20th, 2007 at 7:12 amSet the oven on fire and singe arm hairs.
Maybe THEN they’ll let me stop cooking.
