Cordon Bleu Brenda

Until just a few minutes ago, I didn't believe that burning water was possible. Now, however, I've got a burnt pan to prove it. If I were a blonde, and I have been a few times in my life, I'd say I was having one of my blonde moments. Please if you're a blonde, don't be insulted. That's just what people say when they do something stupid. The same as people are always telling me I haven't got a grandmother (= a Spanish saying) because I'm always bragging about what a good cook I am. Unfortunately, after this episode with the burnt water, I don't think I'll be given a chef's uniform with my name on it by Michelin.

That's not all I've done wrong in the last couple of days. The other day I wanted to download a cool program but was told my browser wasn't supported and IE 4 or above was required. This is the reason why I posted a little button claiming that 'We don't support IE'. In my enthusiasm of having found a site with all kinds of these little buttons and so thankful to Google for finding such a page, I left off half the message, which I've since rectified - at least I think I have. I need some time off. Did I mention I have a long weekend?

P.S. For those of you who don't know it because you've never burnt a pan or can't cook or just don't, bleach will get rid of the burnt bottom. Just leave the bleach in the pan until the burnt part disappears; then wash it. Don't use the pan for a few days until the bleach smell has disappeared.
