Repeat mistakes in your kitchen

I'm not seeing a faux pas here.

I guess we have different definitions of "mistake" in this case.

I finally remembered to always put foil over the heat deflector in the BGE... so much easier to clean.

Also took many repetitions to start always doing bacon in a foil-lined pan in the oven. It works so much better than a stovetop skillet and far less mess.

One mistake I made way too often was to leave the heat on too high when doing skillet lasagna, and burning the bottom layer. Never ruined the dish, but definitely didn't help anything and made cleaning a bitch.

Grabbing a hot handle with a wet rag. That heat sure does transfer fast through a wet rag.

I don't see an issue either. Reminds me of a story one of my Dad's friends told me. They were all at his place and grilling before a football game. Usually the wives were there as well, but they had gone on a trip together. The guy says he's going to go inside to fix the salad, like he usually does. 3 guys at the same time told him there ain't no women here, what are you fixing a salad for?

Me? No.
My wife? She is not allowed to cook in the kitchen because she can't.

But she does pour her Purple Crystal Lite in a glass several times a day. This results in about 6 spills a day. On the counter, on the floor tile, on the drawer handles.

Zach goes through a bottle of 409 getting rid of the stains every week. She also spills her Purple Lite at the gym in the women's dressing room. The cleaning lady has often complained to me about this.

She is incapable of pouring liquid into a glass without spilling it. She even has adult versions of 'sippy cups' that are non spill. She spills them.

But then it's the same with popcorn. The dogs go into the pantry every day to eat all the popcorn Mommy has spilled on the floor while attempting to pour some into a bowl.

Is she spastic? Hmmmm, yeah, I'd say so.

I am completely foil retarded.

No matter the brand, the size, whatever. I cannot tear the foil perfectly along the cutter. It will always rip at some point.

Watching someone perfectly tear foil down the little cutter thing pisses me off so much.

This extends to cling wrap as well.

I can't consider that a repeat mistake. It was just one. You got married.
