Reminds me of the first time I cooked a meal after getting married. I spilled hot oil on my foot and got a pretty bad burn. Not a fun way to honeymoon. Wood Fireplace Inserts last blog post..What is a catalytic combustor?

Ahem, I wasn’t allowed to use the stove But I did LOVE Best Food Mayo sandwiches. When I talk about them people think I’m crazy but there was nothing like a mayonnaise sandwich as a kid!

Yeah, cleaning up a fire mess would not be fun, so I think I'll stay in the room! This meal sounds delicious! Deborahs last blog post..Devil's Food Cupcakes with Fluffy Frosting

Ha! That is funny. I just recently had a small fire in my kitchen. There was some “junk” under the burner that caught on fire…I thought about baking soda but just blew it out as it was so small. This is an interesting dinner. Looks so yummy!

What a beautiful blog with so many great recipes and great stories. Wow, you really are lucky that you didn't burn down the kitchen. We used to cook all the time as kids too, so I know all about the fold over. Thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment on my blog. I'm so glad that I found your blog and will be back often.

Omigosh–around what year were you watching AsTheWT? My sister would watch that and I developed a crush on Holden. SO much so that I named my Cabbage Patch doll after him.
You crack me up as usual! It’s always a treat to read your blog posts!
And can I say that your mom is awesome for not only raising five kids (wow!), but also for going to school and getting her Master’s?! Kudos to her!!!
Stay safe in the kitchen, dearie!

Oh wow, yeah, those lunches sound rough! I think I dry heaved a little! Then again, we used to microwave cheese, PLAIN! We’d pour off the grease and dig in with a spoon. We also micro-ed Krusteaz muffin mix. I shudder too.

These Skillet Fajitas sound GREAT! And I love the last pic of the ice cream, it’s gorgeous! Way to make the melting work for you! Every time I try to take a pic of ice cream it turns out like that, only difference is yours looks beautiful and mine just looks like melted ice cream…

two things:
-i had a great love of white bread, mayo, and american cheese sandwiches as a child. now, i shudder to think.
-i have always had a great fear of hot oil and to this day have never deep fried anything. perhaps it’s better that way.

Oh, wow, does this post bring back memories! As a teenager I was over at my best friend’s house, a lot, and once she decided to make french fries, from scratch. I don’t need to tell you how that story ends, now do I? “Stay in the room when hot oil is on the stove”, you don’t need to tell me twice! The fajita skillet looks delicious!

Woo! You gave a shoutout to the elusive Miracle Whip sandwich – my big brother and I grew up on them and as much as I want to be a foodie, every once in awhile all I want is a piece of white bread with a smear of MW on it. Thanks for bringing back some sweet memories.

I’ve only caught my food on fire once. I was broiling some chicken, and I forgot that my oven had a really fierce broiler. I was so freaked out!

I totally agree with the rule to stay in the kitchen while there’s hot oil around. Scary stuff happens when you lose track of what you’re cooking!

Great story, Kristen! It made me laugh.

I’ve never set the kitchen on fire, but I had several attempts (such as a . . . homemade, um . . . improvised, macaroni and cheese I made for myself and my siblings) that are infamous in my family.

Well think of it this way, from a very young age, you knew how to put out an oil fire! I saw kids in college regularly try to put out oil fires with water on our old stove that often went up in flames! I'm finally back from vacation, and looking forward to better keeping up with reading my favorite cooking blogs! Hope your summer went well! Hopies last blog post..End of Vacation / La rentrée

I too have had fires on top of the stove and in the oven, blown up a pyrex baking dish, melted a cooler on the heating element of an electric stove, sucked a corningware ramekin down the disposal, had things burn in the bottom of the dishwasher, and have thrown a burning pan outdoors into a snow bank.

All any of it did was make me laugh. It never has stopped me from cooking! Nella

This looks pretty good without the tortilla strips — though of course it would be much better if there were some Miracle Whip in it somewhere! I, too, grew up on MW, and I still love it.
