Out with the old wok

[Dan R]

I thought I had everything taken care of. The kitchen was already setup for Chinese cooking and I use most of the important ingredients. Oops I missed something. How many of you have trouble getting your wife to use the pot holder?

 

My wok has a long metal handle. I have used this for most of my cooking for the past 5 years. Last weekend my wife grabbed the handle and got burnt. I tried to explain about the pot holder hanging on the stove. Nope, that is not the problem. I bought the wrong wok . Ok so this weekend I will look for one with a nice wooden handle.

 

This is a hint to those in waiting.

Ahhhh Danny, you shoulda asked one of us---we'de a been happy to tell you that you were once again screwing up. however, in your defense, if you'd a bought the wooden handled one then one of here friends would have told her about the metal handled one and a pot holder--then you'd a still been wrong.

 

Might I suggest that you get accustomed to being wrong--it ain't as bad as all that!!

[Dan R]

Trigg I have already learned the value of being wrong so I can show her that I can change if it makes her happy.

I tossed most of the kitchen (and other) junk before she got here. We went and bought most of it new together. The stock excuse for anything remotely old is ... yard sale. Just struggling along 'till you got here darling

I avoided your fate on this one, I insisted we buy our kitchen stuff in China and I carried it and the dishes back. Didn't matter that I had to buy an extra suitcase, she got to pick out everything and the price was right because she negotiated it.

Jen hasn't even got to the wok I have yet, she likes the cookware my mother had given me too much.

My mistake came from not emphasizing enough how much cheaper comforters are in China vs. here.

Dan it gets even worse, I felt like picking up a few points and shared your behavior with my wife, it was even so much better than I could ever have imagined.

 

You're the man!!!!!

Glad to help out Lee

I'm the pot holder.

 

She says "you hold this please".
