The Kamikaze Cook- Lessons, Notes & Flops

Sadly, I have another "lesson" right after the last one. Must be the moon phase or something.

Anyway, I was making my usual, homemade pad thai dish when suddenly, the shaker cap for the ginger stuck to the cap without my knowledge! You can probably guess what happened- about 1/4 cup of ginger landed in my dish. Yuck. I can take a bit of ginger, but this is too much.

I added more sugar....and orange juice....and coconut but it's still WAY gingery.

Everyone say the lesson with me- always check that the shaker cap is securely on the spice before you shake.

The Kamikaze Cook- Lessons, Notes & Flops


Who doesn't enjoy a delicious salad with cheese, sunflower seeds and some hearty hard boiled eggs? Well, if you're like me, you'd better be more careful. I started these eggs a'boilin' when I went into the other room, thinking, "Sure, I can hear the timer from here and besides, how could I forget that I have something on the stove?"

A picture is worth a thousand words and I don't get my salad tonight. This never happened in my last place...

The Kamikaze Cook- A Kamikazeism

When you need to talk, best friends are nice, but chocolate doesn't need to tell you its problems too.
