All this talk about food had me thinking. I bet everyone has that family member that has no business cooking meals.
I have 3 in my immediate family and 1 extended member.
VIOLATORS
Mom: miracle whip, all meat MUST be well done in fact cook it dry, grey meat crockpot cooking with mushy carrots, simultaneously under and overcooked a turkey, no chicken not even soup form, puts knives and non-stick in dishwasher, salt is spicy
Dad (posthumously): crumbled chips on questionable casserole like item...actually bonus points for creativity but overuse of cream of mushroom soup, Italian dressing marinade, fan of rapid cooking (ribs dry and chewy, prime rib blackened, steaks well, pork chop pucks), canned meat products causing gout, garbage knives and sharpener from infomercials
Sister: vegetarian, makes 80lbs of veggie tray and a gallon of terrible sour cream based dip but nobody eats it, vegetarian concoctions using expensive ingredients using complicated processes that almost always taste the same either too salty spicy or garlicky, buys cheeses of questionable flavor combos in large quantities.
Grandma (mom's mom): overcooked everything...prime rib brown to the center, pork loin drier than the Atacama, turkey inedible without gravy, gravy is greasy
I'm sure I'll think of more but who shouldn't be allowed near the kitchen in your family?
