A sign that someone is bad with cooking:

The smoke alarm is their kitchen timer.

My grandma can burn lots of stuff but it's not cuz she's a bad cook. She genuinely prefers things burnt.

Any type of cooking produces carcinogens. So do most types of food preservation.

Just about everything you can eat or drink causes some kind of harm to your body.

My mom prefers her meat charred/burned.

Oh yeah , it wouldn't surprise me if farting causes cancer nowadays , burnt food does increase your chance of cancer though.

Breathing leads to cancer.

When are you gonna learn that we're here for a good time, not a long time.

I don't like burnt foods.

I haven't had a grandma since 1993.

In one of the homes I lived in the smoke alarm would go off constantly when anyone was cooking. It wasn't actually smoke that set it off, but heat, so it wasn't because anything was burning. It was so annoying hearing it go off constantly when there was no actual fire, and we'd take turns fanning the smoke detector until it stopped beeping.

That particular home was very strict about fire safety. We had firefighter stickers on every bedroom window and were always being reminded on how to use the extinguisher. It may have been because one of the residents had been in a house fire.

Back in the early 1980s, I could set off the smoke alarm in the neighbor's apartment by whistling a specific tone into my CB radio on channel 14. I could also trip their car alarm simply by keying up on channel 18.

Oh, the fun I had ... :twisted:
