Stupid, stupid, stupid....

Case in point. If you attempt to follow the instructions from mom about "just brown the pot roast in some olive oil, then boil it with some carrots and potatoes" you end up sniffling on the couch, watching Torchwood episodes on lappers, and moving the icewater glass from the burns on your hand to the burns on your chest.

Ouch. I understand defending the castle with boiling oil.
So yes, the meat decided to flop into the hot oil and splatter all over me.
Later when I knocked over the water when I tried to move something on the counter, and was entirely ready for a lid and a pyrex measuring cup to shatter on my feet, mom chased me out of the kitchen.
Oi vey.
