In my brand new, self-designed kitchen in 1998 I decided, one evening, to bake an aubergine to make aubergine puree. Pricked the aubergine all over, put it in the oven for the required time, then went to get it out again, using a tea towel. Went over to the sink (luckily a deep one) to "refresh" under cold water, BUT dropped said aubergine, which promptly "exploded" on the bottom of the sink with a distinctly bomb sound.
I shrieked with surprise, which prompted my husband to come running from the other end of the flat (quite a distance round a 90° bend) so was surprised he had heard me in the kitchen.
When he arrived in the kitchen I was laughing at the absurdity, when he said to me "If you are going to do something like this, please tell me in advance, so I can video it." Idiot.
I retrieved all the aubergine and made the puree.

I gave DS a Frube when we were in the car and he was being a pest. Rather than open it he twisted the plastic until the seal at the end gave way and exploded with a bang that made DH wonder if the car had been hit. We had yoghurt all over the interior of the car.

Hearing mayhem in the kitchen and entering to find my dopey labradoodle running round and round the island with an entire roast chicken in his mouth, with our other two dogs in hot pursuit.

Was just out in a restaurant where OH ordered corn on cob.
Half way through him happily devouring with a knife and fork, waitress presented him with a steak knife which was fine....but then stayed to tell him cutting can be difficult so maybe this will help or by all means chow down.
We hitting 50 so being told how to eat is a bit :o

Not me but someone I know.

On leaving home she was cooking something requiring a clove of garlic. But she thought a bulb of garlic was a clove, so used a whole bulb.

One Sunday afternoon, my cat was meowing outside the cat flap. When I opened the door to see why he couldn't get in, he ran past me dragging a partly-carved half leg of lamb.

Pointless trying to find the owner, so he enjoyed several meals.
