Connie Marcum Wong Poet Etheree

Four Alarm Cook - Etheree

One
day I 
thought I would
boil some eggs so
I put them on the
stove on high heat, being
the impatient lass I am.
I got distracted in the yard.
The eggs blew up and the pan almost
melted. That’s why my husband is the cook!

Andrea Dietrich March 31, 2012 at 11:09 AM Just here to say HELLO!! (joe coming home very soon and we are going out to Cheesecake Factory, so it's something to look forward to, but I doubt I'll be here for two days!)

Andrea Dietrich February 17, 2012 at 10:04 AM I'm not seeing congrats for this one, but just wanted to tell you that I sure thought it was humorous.

Robert Johnson February 15, 2012 at 2:37 PM Patience is a virtue, and now we all know why. Cause if we eat your cooking, we probably will die. How's that for a rediculous exaggeration. :)

David Byrne February 4, 2012 at 9:59 PM I got distracted in the yard............hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, with what? : ) Connie Marcum Wong February 15, 2012 at 3:16 PM I was trimming the flowers until I smelled the burning smell from about 20 feet away out my sliding glass doors.

Elizabeth Wesley February 3, 2012 at 7:46 AM Tee hee, could there be a grain of truth in this? Soup mail for you. Connie Marcum Wong February 15, 2012 at 3:14 PM Unfortunately, a very large grain.
