My Dad is a chef. Before they moved and bought the pub, my Dad was considered one of the top chefs in London. My Dad trained a new generation of top London and TV chefs.

Then there’s me, who is surprised to find that it hurts when I stick my finger into my food to see if it’s cooked or not.

Of all the shit things genetics did give me, I can't get that fucking gene?

*edit* and that was just toasting crumpets...

Oh that's really cool about your Dad. But that sucks that you didn't get that gene.

Lol, thanks hon. It just amuses on occasion just what a HUGE gap there is in skills *g*

Awww and LOL.

Cooking is not one of the skills I inherited either. I can hardly boil an egg. I made roast once. The best thing that came out of it was that I didn't have to wash up. I had to throw away the roast AND the frying pan.

Am very sorry to laugh at your pain, but that is a brilliant story. Bad cookers of the world unite!

If we ever visit each other... I'll cook. I did inherit my dad's cooking genes, which are "I like food that doesn't kill me and I get bored with pizza". Nowhere near as cool as your dad, but I've not killed anyone yet

Lol, that's prob for the best...though when I cook for other people I do restrain from sticking my finger in the food!

And that is a great cooking mantra.

You get over here and I'll cook for you. Cool about your Dad, but it reminds me how my Mom, and her Dad could draw and sketch and paint while I'm lucky I can get away with some flowers. *sigh* What can we do?

I can't cook - and I did inherit that from my mom. But I can bake with the best of them - got that from my grandmother.

My mom has the crazy-clean gene- but glancing around its clear I didn't inherit that at all!

Funny you say that, I can actually bake quite well too, hmmm...

And my mum is also a mad cleaner whereas I disagree with housework on principle!
