Garlic press, not worth the mess!!

So i am marinating my tilapia fish for tonights dinner and i am using my new nifty garlic press and the damn chunk of garlic flys in my eye ball. talk about burn.
so i'm freakin out and wipe my face with my fingers that are covered in garlic and spices.

ARGH> this damn cooking crap. i think i will stick to mrs. dash and stuff already crushed up and what not..lol

point less but thought i'd share anyway. have a great HUMP day all
 
Lmao, silly girl. Dice an X into the garlic and press down with the knife sideways. It should crush and mash it while saving your eye.
 
That reminds me of the time I was making salsa with my cousin and got jalapeno juice in both of my eyes while chopping them up and then proceeded to rub my eyes with my fingers... I thought I was going to go blind.

Girl, I'm just a PM away.....
 
ok you ready for this. and i am not making this up, so yeah i am doing about 20 things at one time right now but i started smelling a vanilla smell. i go in the kitchen and i had my candle on top of the oven(cooking my fish) and it has melted all over the stove, in the burners. a big puddle of wax now.

ARGH>
I guess i was blinded by the garlic in my eye and didnt notice the darn candle on top.

ok i need to chill and do like 3 things at once instead 20 now.

I get the donkey of the day award. i will take one for the team. ha ah lol
 
Here is the brand that I use:

That's ok Laurie...I made a big vat of food the other day and dumped it on the floor when I burned myself. I was so pissed! I scooped it up anyway...lol.

A few weeks ago I had a huge diet soda from What-a-Burger and I brought it home. When I was walking through the kitchen the bottom feel off. No idea how that happened?? Some of it got on the carpet too.

yep that's what I was going to say...those garlic presses are total crap...totally gift it to some poor sucker.
 
Jake I use the same stuff and I think it tastes better than "fresh" garlic depending on what you are cooking.
 
there needs to be a thank u button on here..

thanks guys. yeah see i usually stick to what i know-the jar but per dr.'s advice i thought i would branch out and try some fresh stuff. last time for garlic anyway.

I also ate a tiny cactus looking thing for lunch. no clue what it was and didnt have a taste, not pleasant texture either. Maybe it was a store decoration?

i dunno but i am back to what i know i think..

i was going to suggest the same idea...

that was the greatest story ever told. haha...laurie is NEVER cooking me dinner :wiggle:
 
ha ha cause you wanted it to be dirty. lol
i wouldnt squirt you in the eye w garlic. no wrries. i am done with that damn press thing.
 
is it wrong of me to be dirty?

lol...because, baby, if being dirty is wrong....i don't wanna be right.

cool....no garlic than....um...can we have steak?
 
hahah go with what feels good to ya hun. lol

and yup steak works.. marinated in garlic right? ha ha j/k
 
Laurie, sorry to hear it hun. I think we've all made these kinds of kitchen mistakes at some point or another.

I despise onions but one of the very few times I've had to chop one for something I ended up with it in my eyes. Talk about burn...just adds to the long list of reasons that onions should be banned from the planet.

I have to admit though, this thread gave me a little laugh. Guess since we've all kinda been there it's amusing to picture it happening to someone else. Kinda makes us feel a little better knowing we aren't the only people that ends up with these kinds of messes.

If it makes you feel any better, for the first year I was married, I burned EVERYTHING. Seriously, I have no clue how I managed to gain weight because every freakin meal I made came out black.

LMFAO!!! Dude, come on, Luther Ingram?! You can do better than that, but thanks for the laugh...That was almost as cheesy as "drop that zero and get with the HERO" LMAO!!!!
 
hah a thanks queen b. my mom was not a good cook. she burnt everything. i ate alot of mac and cheese and ice cream growing up.
i am learning. or at least trying. lol
 
Sadly, my mother is and always has been a stellar cook. Kinda sucks when you grow up with a mother that can cook anything and everything and ya end up burning every dish you touch. LOL...

And I cannot tell you how many times I've burned myself. I'm clumsy as hell and being clumsy while learning to cook is just not a good combination.

One night I was making country ribs, ** Brief off topic, it's ribs in equal parts cream of mushroom/cream of chicken covered and baked. Its an excellent dish and anytime I ever made it it was a hit. Not all that healthy so save it for a cheat meal or something like that, its really good and pretty simple. I ate it while still on my diet but just ate the ribs with veggies and skipped the carb I'd made with the meal. ANYWAY**

Back to the story, so I love cooking with stainless steel and have the Wolfgang Puck Bistro set (it's AWESOME). So, I preheat the oven to 425, prepare the ribs in the pan, cover it and put it in the oven. Continued with what I was doing and left them alone. An hour later I go to check them, remember stainless steel pan in 425 degree oven, without thinking I just reached in and grabbed the handle of the pan. OH DEAR GOD!!!! My palm actually sizzled against the stainless steel.

I still have a visible scar on my right hand.

We've ALL had our moments in the kitchen, that's just one of my LONG list of bonehead moves. ;)

Of course, Katie doesn't have these kinds of issues, she was born to be an endurance athlete and a chef...:p
 
I'm a decent cook, my mom & grandma helped with that. I also took a home ec. type class in high school called food science. It's just like anything else....practice, and consistency, & refining...fresh materials go a long ways too.
