Sometime in highschool one of my classes took a camping trip. One morning a student was tasked with making scrambled eggs for everyone and I guess he always adds a little powdered sugar to his eggs so that's what he did. Except he grabbed a can of Ajax by accident. The whole class was halfway through their eggs before we realized why they tasted funny.

Everyone yelled at the kid and we made him clean the whole cooking area at the campgrounds alone. I felt kinda bad for him actually, that is until I realized he was scrubbing everything down with powdered sugar because he grabbed the 'other can' again.

Still not sure if he tried to poison us and then troll us or what.

I can't even see how to do the second one without either lighting the pasta on fire by hand or only adding the water after the pasta has already caught.

e: I mean, from the burn patterns it looks like the rim of the saucepan started the fire, but the water isn't even boiling...

It's the only one of the group that I have trouble believing is real and not set up.

It gets a pass though because it's really funny.

You can see that the burner beneath the pot is larger than the pot itself. Flames coming up the sides of the pot can easily catch pasta.

My wife and I got an urge for late-night chocolate chip cookies. The only problem is, our kitchen is right next to the baby's room - and he'd been having some rough sleeping nights, so I didn't want to risk waking him up by turning all the lights on. No matter! I've made chocolate chip cookies so many times I can easily make them with nothing but the faint stove-light.

So - butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, chocolate chips - I'm mixing everything together, but why am I getting this strong smell of....toothpaste?

Turns out that the bottles of vanilla extract and mint extract are the exact same shape and size. I'd forgotten I had the mint extract and in the dark, I hadn't bothered to look at the bottle before putting it in.

Now, minty-chocolate chip cookies wouldn't necessarily be inedible, but mint extract is STRONG - this was at least 3 times as much as you'd want to use if that is what you were going for. By that point I was too tired to make another batch - so no cookies for us.

I would still eat that. In fact, I might like it even more.

I'm the disiaster. It's me.

I'm guessing it's a combination of that and the sucrose getting in the way of over-coagulation of the proteins in the egg.

I don't mind syrup on scrambled eggs, so long as those eggs were next to my waffles and bacon.

Or if those eggs are being used to make French toast. I dunno, maybe they were gonna make French toast one day and had like, no bread or milk, so they made the eggs anyway.

Those are things I don't have a problem with. This family just put a big squirt of syrup in the beaten egg every time they made eggs because "it made them amazing!!".

I don't even understand people who put syrup on French toast instead of salt/pepper, so sugar eggs is straight up horrifying.

Sweet and savory french toast are two very different things. I'm not gonna put salt and pepper on french toast made with vanilla and cinnamon in the egg batter.

It kinda is. They're tasty enough but you can only have a slice or two before you get sick of them. The texture is really great though so I usually make mine with fish sauce instead of sugar. Seems to help me not get horrifyingly sick of them after a bite or two.

Tamagoyaki is great, but you only put like a teaspoon of sugar in it. At least that's what my host mom did.

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

Went to a dinner party on Friday, they made pulled pork out of a tenderloin, it was so tough and rubbery... To top it off it was accompanied by homemade barbeque sauce that was vile.

Why would you put bbq sauce on tenderloin...

Funny thing that's bugging me. In the new Final Fantasy that's coming out, there's a cooking mechanic to give you buffs and stuff. Unfortunately, one of the recipes they were showing off in the demo was... Chicken Tenderloin Stew. Noooooooooooooooo so many nerds who cant cook are going to ruin innocent pieces of meat now

It wasn't even like Shabu-Shabu style (which would be awesome with tenderloin), it was just a badly named chicken stew. So sad. Especially since you're harvesting the chicken from a giant cockatrice thing that would benefit from being done coq-au-vin style.

Complain at them if it really bothers you. They might actually do something since it hasn't released.

Dear Final Fantasy English Translators: Please change something because it annoys me.

Even if it is a tenderloin from a large athletic animal, it has little fat or connective tissue to break down in stewing. You just don't stew tenderloin. If it's that tough or ruined, you put it in your sausage pile.

Don't put salt in orange soda because you wanted a sweeter fix and didn't realize it wasn't sugar.

Also don't leave cookies to warm in the oven even if it's turned off. That is, if you weren't going for gum-shredding cookie-shaped biscotti.

Don't leave a huge pot of chicken stew out overnight in the middle of summer just because it was just fine when you did it during winter. :(

Nothing wrong cleaning up and firing up the dishwasher directly below the cookies I'm cooling off. The bottoms were like 60 grit sandpaper.
