Kitchen Mishaps

 Kitchen Mishaps September 15, 2012

I try to do my yard work and pool maintenance very early in the morning before Mom gets out of bed. It’s also when it is cool enough in the summer. One morning I came in to find Mom had gotten up and dresses and was making coffee with my tea kettle. No problem except there was no water and on high heat it was about to melt into the burner. Another time she decided the chocolate chip cookies would taste better warmed up in the toaster. Melted chocolate a second away from a fire! So you can see how this situation requires constant vigilance. Even in the best of days she often makes herself a cup of coffee and toast, then goes back and starts all over again making another cup of coffee and toast… Today it was a bowl of cereal, ate it put it in the sink, then went back and made another insisting she had not had breakfast yet. Then she was too full to eat the second bowl.
