Gettin' A Little Angry

"Hamburger Blob with tomato sauce"

ROTFLMAO
That must be a universal recipe, we had that too! You know how your supposed to make meatloaf/meatballs with bread crumbs...? Well mom used flour instead and then plop it went into a hot pot of tomato sauce for the proper tempering (case-hardened). Hit your stomach like a rock and just sat there. Ohhhhh, I can still feel those things. Called 'em 'DirtBalls' :D
 
This is interesting. My mom used to do about the same. For example, she'd fry pork chops so long that when you tried to cut them they would just break into crumbs and dust. My sainted father got so tired of this sort of food he used to do a lot of the cooking and although Ma may turn over in the grave when I say this, Dad was a very good cook, a lot better than Ma.
 
My Mom didn't use anything (ie. flour, breadcrumbs, etc.) in her concoction, except for the occasional dry chemical fire extinguisher!

We poor tortured souls! Why do I find this so darn funny! My mothers "Classic" recipe went something like this:

1). Turn burner on High (This is a given)
2). Put haneously warped skillet on burner.
3). Go outside and talk to neighbor, water plants, etc.
4). 30 minutes later realize the skillet is about to self destruct.
5). Run in the house.
6). Throw a frozen Meat chunk directly from the freezer into the
molten mass of aluminum.
7). Jump back to avoid scalding from steam.
8). Go back outside.
9). When you hear the faint noise of the smoke alarm, run back in.
10). Send child to reassure neighbors that the fire is under control
and not to call the fire dept.
11). Leave the door open and open the windows for ventilation.
12). Extinguish the black charred mass with a handy jar of tomato
sauce and serve over burnt toast, or some similar starch.

Burn Apetit':barf:

Much like yours, Uncle, my dad was an excellent cook ( his father ran a restaurant for 40 years ) but work made his cooking a rarity. But when word came that dad was cooking, there was much joy!

* now comes the disclaimer--I love my mom a bunch, but even she will admit that the kitchen was a foreign land and we still laugh about some of the culinary antics.:D

I'm the same. If only my mom could cook me some burned to bits pork chops today I'd eat them and tell her they were the best in the world.
