Good 48º cloudy sky morning. 

 

 

Yesterday we got rain and topped at 61º.

 

 

Also, yesterday, my computer wasn't working. I messed and messed with it and then turned it off. After a couple of hours I turned it back on and just left it. Three hours later I sat down with it and it worked.

 

 

Picture of the day....an orchid that looks like a flying duck!

June 13th honors those who would like to cook and be in the kitchen, but it just doesn’t seem to work well for them. After all, it is National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day.

Klutz:  most commonly referred to as a clumsy person.

Kitchen Klutzes are the people who set out with the intentions of being like Gordon Ramsey or Julia Child as they open up the cookbook. As they place the mixing bowl and ingredients on the counter, they imagine knife cuts as swift as Wolfgang Puck or Bobby Flay. However, reality quickly dissolves all those dreams as smoke billows from the oven, and they mistake salt for sugar. Those knife cuts turn bloody, and cookies and fingers are burnt. The Kitchen Klutz has struck, and visions of spilled milk are pitifully cried over.

It may be necessary to keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy when Kitchen Klutzes are around. Be ready to call 911 and have your favorite take out ready as backup if you’re still hungry.

HOW TO OBSERVE

There several ways to celebrate this humorous holiday.

• Laugh at yourself. Share your mortifying stories of kitchen failure over take out Thai or pizza. 
• Give your favorite Kitchen Klutz the gift of cooking classes. 
• Watch your favorite cooking flops show.
