Mageirocophobia

I'm not sure how to pronounce it, but I have it.Wait-it isn't as vile as it sounds.For me.



Let's try again.Is it um,Magi like the you know,Magi?Or Maggie like Maggie Smith?The second seems highly unlikely.Anyhow,it's a mouthful and a new addition to my vocab(oh my the merry things we learn every day).
I have it.I definitely have it.If you've been following my tweets(also highly unlikely-because I'm all modest and such) you would know that I tried to make brownies today.

Again,due to my Magei-thingy I decided to get a brownie mix instead. Evidently I was too chicken to mix my own(one of the key elements of M phobia is the fear of recipes-apparently clams like me are intimidated by them.I am) and I got myself a Betty Crocker mix which I audaciously decided to microwave  without sufficient instructions on the box.It said 20-25 mins in a pre-heated oven.

Well,what can I say?It's an Indian household over here.Our cuisines are hardly oven made.They are mostly cooked on low flame(my house-save gas,increase flavour) with medium amount of spices.Our oven is cute,tiny and bubblewrapped in a loft .So,er, I went with the microwave.Yea,we use a lot of that.Pop in food and all.In my defense,I did look up the microwave equivalent of the oven time on google.Most said go with 5.I went with 5.It was still a gooey mess.So 20 it was.

And this is what I ended up with.

Rock.solid.
This is why Hagrid doesn't cook.This is why I don't cook.
Dad's  probably working on it with the meat cleaver right now.
P.s:Who's coming for dinner?I'm cooking ;)

  3. Oh man. I know you feel. I absolutely SUCK at cooking things. Unless it's pretty basic, keep it away from me. When Girlfriend and I live together, I told her I'm leaving the 'serious cooking' up to her. LOL

    My friend managed to burn ramen noodles yesterday, it was hilarious!

  4. I'm really bad at cooking. I wouldn't even try.

    If I try to cook, I want everything prepared, like the ones we see on TV where everything is chopped and sliced and in separate tiny bowls so I could just pour everything into a pan and start cooking?

    But that doesn't happen in real life!!! :)
