Then you have people from the opposite end of the spectrum. One time I received "protein cookies" from a friend and it was just baked chocolate whey protein powder 🤣. You'd expect something like that to work okay-ish, but it was a very, very sad cookie with way too much sweetener.
I don't know how to cook for shit (I once set pasta on fire) but I feel like even my dumbass could figure out how to make that work. Motherfucker needs to refine their recipe.
🤣. Htf does pasta even catch fire? There's usually moisture at all times.
Well I will say that the cookies were safe to eat at least. I think they are in the process of making it work atm.
I managed to boil the water down a tad bit too much cause they weren't softening, some of them were stuck to the side of the pot and caught fire. From there it was a simple matter of energy burnoff.
Please tell me that you were drunk out of your mind, lol.
Close I was running on 4 hours of sleep and had been awake for about 2 days.
In our old office we had a stove in the break room. A coworker managed to forget she was boiling eggs and smoke out the building 3 times in 4 months.
We finally bought her a gimmicky egg cooker that would turn itself off.
