The Joy of Goofing

There are these bagged frozen dinners that serve four people. Really easy to prepare. Foolproof. Well, almost—as this fool proved tonight.

I lit the gas, put the skillet on the burner, cut open the bag and dumped in the stuff. Then I read the instructions. Oops, I was supposed to grease the pan.

I took the pan off the heat. There was another pan right there in the cupboard, but for this kind of cooking, I like the first pan. So I dumped the frozen stuff into the second pan so I could grease the first pan. Then I realized that the second pan was now on the heat. So I made the same cooking mistake twice within a minute.

Okay, so it was a minor mistake. It still gives me the opportunity to say to myself: Keith, Ya Goof!
