burnt

Tonight I made Chicken Parm, from scratch.... bread the chicken myself,  I don't even need a recipe. It's all upstairs, in my head. I understand chicken Parmesan. I can make one hell of a seafood chowder from memory. I cook nearly everything from scratch because as a rule, we don't by prepared anything here. Its good. Its the way I like it. I have learned how to cook and can really hold my own.... except for a couple of areas. Chief among these areas is garlic bread..........garlic bread.   Bread with garlic on it. Not even garlic really, I use garlic salt. Just cut a store bought loaf of Italian bread open and butter it, sprinkle on some garlic salt and throw it under the broiler.

I cannot tell you how many times I have burned the freaking garlic bread. For a while it was every time.  I mean, broiling happens fast for sure, but man... smoke everywhere, fire alarm going off, acrid smell settling into the furniture. Stupid garlic bread.

Also, sometimes I forget how to boil certain items, like rice... and potatoes.
