My First Kitchen Blunder

whether
I can’t remember i or not I’ve had any extraordinary experiences with food, but I’m certain

that have had some unusual cooking experiences. The funniest was when I was about 12 years
old. Before then, I had asked my mother many times when would I be allowed to cook dinner.

Finally, one Thursday night, she told me I could make roast chicken tomorrow. She told me

to wash the chicken first. I asked if I was supposed to wash only the skin of the chicken. She
said that I should wash the inside, too. She also told me don't forget to put salt and pepper on
the chicken before putting it in the oven. I wrote down exactly what my mother did tell me to

do. The next day, I took the chicken out of the fridge and went over to the sink. I turned on the

water and put soap all over the inside and the outside of the chicken. When my brother came
in, he asked what was I doing. I told him that Mom had said I could make chicken for dinner.
He asked where the chicken is. He said all he saw was soap. I said that Mom had told me to

wash the chicken. He told me he would never eat it. Then, he called my mother to tell her I had
done. I was so embarrassed. It was years before I ever cooked chicken again.
