27 Things That Are Way Too Real For Terrible Cooks

    Spatula? I don't even know her.

    1. You put something in the freezer ahead of time and forget to take it out.

    2. A "raw food diet" just means eating ingredients you're too lazy to actually cook.

    Watch me die from eating raw pasta now cause my family has left me with no food for a week and I can't cook to save my life

    3. "Step 1: Sift flour." LOL! Nah.

    4. You read the instructions on EVERY box, then immediately disregard them because pffft, you know better than a dumb box.

    5. You want to attempt making your fave meals but a pad thai requires 30,000 ingredients?

    6. They say a watched pot never boils, so you put it on the stove and go watch TV.

    7. "Cook time: 15 minutes. Prep time: 2 hours."

    8. You're supposed to follow a recipe but you can't even spell it properly.

    my mom is making labels but she can't spell recipes omg

    SHOW ME THE RECEIPTS. I MEAN Recepies? Just show me the REESE'S. I'll eat peanut butter cups for dinner.

    9. And when you actually follow every step of a recipe, ta-da! A pile of slop!

    10. You make breakfast for people and you're like, "Hope you enjoy your eggs scrambled! Or...scrambled!"

    11. You decide to do something simple, something NO ONE can mess up. You mess it up.

    12. Your inbox is constantly blowin' up!

    13. Your friends and family are super supportive of your culinary skills...sorta.

    14. You make breakfast AGAIN and you're like, "Hope you enjoy your pancakes scrambled!"

    I messed up sooo scrambled pancakes it is

    15. You try to microwave some leftovers and you create a lava monster.

    16. When you make your favourite food at home it's more effort and less tasty.

    17. You forget a key ingredient while shopping so you just...do without?

    18. When a recipe asks you to add "a pinch of salt" you skip it every time.

    19. You never cook with chillies because if you do, you can never pee or touch your eyes again.

    I will always remember today as the day I cooked dinner, rubbed my eyes, and then learned that jalapeños are NATURE'S PEPPER SPRAY.

    20. You consider "puncture both sides of the plastic cover" to be gourmet cooking.

    21. You constantly daydream about marrying a professional chef so you never have to cook again.

    22. You talk to yourself like you're on a cooking show...while preparing your ramen.

    23. You understand it's bad to eat raw chicken, but how pink is too pink?

    24. You already have ONE food pyramid – you don't need anything else in it.

    25. You know this feeling WAY too well:

    26. "I'm in a rush, so I'll just turn the oven up super high to cook it quicker!"

    27. But at least you always know help is only a phone call away!
