sadatx: good thread, and might i add, good use of humor.
setting: college dormitory with electric hot coils in place of gas burners. hungry college students wanting to make something quick to eat at 1am.
to make sure i was capable of caring for myself, my loving mother made flats of won ton for me to bring back to my dorm in the event i got hungry, i could make them. she showed me how. quite easy might i add. take a pot of water, add some oil to prevent won ton stickage, bring to a boil, place won tons in, 7 minutes and instant meal.
being the novice that i was, i filled the pot with too much water. poured in some oil and brought to a boil. then added the won tons, which made the oily water spill over onto the electric coils. now when this oily water hit the coils, it immediately caught fire. leaving a huge burn mark on the wall of the kitchen. it took us some time to put it out, but when we did, we were so pumped full of adrenaline that we decided to walk to in-n-out instead.
later that week, we wanted to make some steaks. some pan friend steaks. well, little did we know that you needed some sort of oil or spam to keep the steaks from burning on the pan. so there we were, the 3 of us, happily frying our steaks and complimenting each other on how good they smelled. and mind you, this was at around 12:30 am. the steaks began to burn badly, and smoke was everywhere. before we could open the hall doors for ventilation, the fire alarm went off. OMG! we took the pan off the stove and tried to cover the alarm. but there were 3 of us, and 6 alarms on the 3 floors.
the hall was evacuated and many angry college students were forced to stand out in the cold, even some girl who had been taking a shower. i think ever since that second event, we were no longer allowed in the kitchen
