I watch a reality show called America's Worst Cooks. These are people who burn water. Chef Ann and her cohort take 16 people in teams of two show them something to cook and set them lose on the kitchen while the two chefs watch from above. The recruits run around like crazy trying to recreate what they were taught. One day, one recruit didn't realize that her frying pan was overheating as she scrambled for ingredients. Chef Ann shouts for her attention and fails to get it. Finally she shouts, "Your pan is hot and smoking what do you do?" The answer that popped into my head, "I don't know, take it out to dinner."
