View Full Version : ChipDale's Cooking Lessons

ChipDale's (Jane's) prowess as a gourmet cook http://www.intercot.com/boards/dead.gif http://www.intercot.com/boards/pukey.gif has become an integral part of Intercot lore over the past few months.

In the spirit of Intercot helpfulness, I'd like everyone to contribute their own little tips and suggestions for helping her advance in her culinary endeavors.

Here are a few I've gathered:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Anything that makes you gag is spoiled, except for leftovers from what you cooked for yourself last night.

<LI>When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, an egg is probably past its prime.

<LI>Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt. Yogurt is spoiled when it starts to look like cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it starts to look like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyway and can't get any more spoiled than it is already.

<LI>If it makes you violently ill after you eat it, mayonnaise is spoiled.

<LI>Frozen foods that have become an integral part of the defrosting problem in your freezer compartment will probably be spoiled-- or wrecked, anyway-- by the time you pry them out with a kitchen knife.

<LI>If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three-block radius to congregate outside your house, the meat is spoiled.

<LI>Bibb lettuce is spoiled when you can't get it off the bottom of the vegetable crisper without Comet.

<LI>Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a basketball should be disposed of. Carefully.

<LI>A carrot that you can tie a clove hitch in is not fresh.

<LI>Wine should not taste like salad dressing.

<LI>Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense, leafy undergrowth.

<LI>If you can take chip dip out of its container and bounce it on the floor, it has gone bad.[/list]

GENERAL RULE OF THUMB:

Most food cannot be kept longer than the average lifespan of a hamster.

Keep a hamster in your refrigerator to gauge this. http://www.intercot.com/boards/eek.gif

Soup should drain through a slotted spoon.

Gravy should be brown or off-white, never gray.

You should not need to use a jack-hammer to slice a cake.

When the instructions on a package say to add the noodle and spice packets, that means to open them and add the contents, don't just throw the entire package into the pot.

Any food that moves of its own accord is unsafe to eat.

If the restaurant you originally got the take-out food in the back of your refridgerator from is now closed, don't eat it.

Mold is not a food group.

If you chip a tooth on dinner, chances are it's no good.

Now, I'm not saying that this applies ONLY to ChipDale's cooking....

You know you are a lousy cook if....<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Your family automatically heads for the table every time they hear a fire siren

<LI>Anyone has ever broken a tooth eating your homemade yogurt.

<LI>Your kids know what "peas porridge in a pot nine days old" tastes like.

<LI>Your son goes outside to make mud pies, the rest of the family grabs forks and follows him.

<LI>Your kids favorite drink is Alka-Seltzer.

<LI>You have to buy 25 pounds of dog food twice a week for your toy poodle .

<LI>Your kids got even with the neighborhood bully by inviting him over for dinner.

<LI>Your kids got suspended from school for trying to smuggle toxic waste in their lunch bags.

<LI>Your husband refers to the smoke detector as the oven timer.

<LI>No matter what you do to it the gravy still turns bright purple.

<LI>You burned the house down trying to make jelly. [/list]

Ed?? Do you know these things from experience??? http://www.intercot.com/boards/wink2.gif

Here's a few more:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI> Bread should not have fur. http://www.intercot.com/boards/pukey.gif
<LI> You do not need to rinse spaghetti noodles before cooking.
<LI> If there is any question as to something's identity - it's bad - throw it away.
<LI> Don't ask someone "Are you going to eat this?? If not, I am just going to throw it away." Just throw it away.
<LI> Warning - If you discover a bag of cauliflower or broccoli in your vegetable drawer that has been there for an extended period of time - DO NOT OPEN IT - If you do, you'll likely have to move, and so will most of your neighbors. [/list] http://www.intercot.com/boards/dead.gif

We have a rule in the house, if it tastes "wrong" or "funny" we immediately throw it again. I know this is a funny thread, but seriously, sometimes you can't tell when something goes bad and your meal just tastes a little "off". Don't think, "hmmm. It's just me." Toss it. I've had too many bad experiences http://www.intercot.com/boards/dead.gif and I've finally learned from it.

Poor Jane! http://www.intercot.com/boards/blue.gif

Your screen door can also double as a handy cheese-grater

In a pinch, frozen water can substitute for ice

Steak + Crest does *not* equal "steak tartare

Forget to pack the grill? No problem -- just spritz some olive oil on your engine block and you'll be cooking in no time..

Sorry, Jim & Ed made me do it http://www.intercot.com/boards/wink.gif

It can also be used as a strainer. Tennis rackets also work well for this.

Is it true the toxic-train derailment near Baltamore was Jane's Soup of the Day?

I ate the fuzzy cheese. No ill effects.

But the walls are telling me to 'Shoot The Weasel' and I can't find the volume gerbil.......

Gravy should be poured on the mashed potatoes, not vice versa.

Frozen pizza should be taken off of the cardboard before being put in the oven.

Some definitions a cook needs to know:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Tongue: A variety of meat, rarely served because it clearly crosses the line between a cut of beef and a piece of dead cow.
<LI>Yogurt: Semi-solid dairy product made from partially evaporated and fermented milk. Yogurt is one of only three foods that taste exactly the same as they sound. The other two are goulash and squid.
<LI>Recipe: A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't own, to make a dish the dog won't eat the rest of.
<LI>Porridge: Thick oatmeal rarely found on American tables since children were granted the right to sue their parents. The name is an amalgamation of the words "Putrid," "horrid" and "sludge."
<LI>Preheat: To turn on the heat in an oven for a period of time before cooking a dish, so that the fingers may be burned when the food is put in, as well as when it is removed.
<LI>Oven: Compact home incinerator used for disposing of bulky pieces of meat and poultry.
<LI>Microwave oven: Space-age kitchen appliance that uses the principle of radar to locate and immediately destroy any food placed within the cooking compartment.
<LI>Calorie: Basic measure of the amount of rationalization offered by the average individual prior to taking a second helping of a particular food.
<LI>Arab coffee: Thick, black, bitter coffee, traditionally served in tiny cups at gunpoint.[/list]

If food has actually started seeping through http://www.intercot.com/boards/eek.gif the tupperware container, throw the entire mass away!

(Jane, I guess Mom won't be getting back the orange tupperware dish of strawberries that she gave me almost 3 months ago. http://www.intercot.com/boards/embarass.gif No foolin'. Just found it in the back of the fridge behind one of the drawers the other night.

Jane's daily chant:


Are you a cook? Neither am I.
When dinner comes I only sigh,
Wake up the phone and his book
And let somebody be my cook.

A pizza is a trusty meal,
A color frantic tasty wheel.
It disappears in your friends
And lets the party never end.

But cooking is a tempting craft
And gazing down the oven's shaft
I start to wonder if I can
Create a dinner in a pan.

The cooking magic I will work!
No more I'll be a takeout dork!
I'll prove the world what I can be!
I'll make a meal for you and me.

Into the kitchen with brave strides
I walk like wolf, who danger bides.
And looking back to high school days
I recollect my mother's ways.

Spaghetti? Oh, that sounds good!
I grab the package where I stood.
Potatoes I shall add to that.
They'll make it better, so I bet.

My mother always said to add
the veggies, but they make me mad.
To top it off I think I'll put
some oil in (I heard I should)

I say a prayer, turn the knob,
And a blue flame begins to sob.
It's magic, that's why it's so blue.
It makes my tasty dinner stew.

It starts to boil soon enough,
And bubbles make the oil rough.
And lo-'n-behold it starts to burn
Just when it knows my back is turned.

I quickly knew something was wrong
When my stew's smell became too strong.
But no fear, my dear friends,
God blessed me with intelligence.

All fires are quenched by water thrown,
That's one sure thing I've always known.
So thinking quick I pour some in
And see a frightening thing begin.

A fiery face came to my eyes,
It must be Satan in disguise!
It grabbed the stove in fire's grasp!
Behind I heard a frightened gasp.

What happened next I won't describe,
But threaten death, or give a bribe,
Or loose a lion in my den.
But never shall I cook again!!!
