Clearly, I should never be let near a kitchen again.

Okay.  So my list of cooking accomplishments so far includes starting a small fire when trying to cook popcorn, baking a 'cake' that was scorched on the outside and still runny on the inside, almost giving myself salmonella poisoning on six different occasions, and producing more smoke than edible food while attempting to cook hamburgers.  And today I have something else to add to the list!

...let's just say I didn't even know it was possible to burn tea.

Clearly I am not the highest-proof bottle in R's liquor cabinet.  My guillotine blade could use a bit of sharpening.  I, my friends, am a few revolutionaries short of an insurrection.

And I need some fucking caffeine.

Was it you or I who managed to cause the honey and sugar to caramelize by putting the tea in the microwave too long?

And that is why I go out to eat ALOT!

I look at it as a life saving technique for my family

Haha, keep trying. I suck at cooking, but I discovered that I make kick ass biscuits and apple sauce. Granted, that's all I can make, but hey, I can whip those two out to impress people with. Keep trying, maybe you can make an awesome flan or something.

... perhaps an investment in a hot-water machine is in order? That way, you can not only make unburnt tea, but a plethora of other things you probably didn't know you could make with just water and a microwave. =D

You know you're up at an obscene hour of the morning when you can't stop giggling at this...
