A dish full of cinders, anyone?

[mrs_overall]

My eldest junior overall has just microwaved a tin of meatballs. The instructions said microwave for 4 mins, stand for 2 mins. The numbskull cooked them for FORTY TWO minutes.
Any suggestions on uses for 12 marble size cinders?

poor boy

how long before he realised?

I did something similar when i was just pregnant and actually set fire to the food. Told mr CRX the microwave was too old and faulty and bought a new one to save cleaning it lol

4GS, he'll be up for adoption shortly if you're interested?

Red, he didn't realise until the microwave pinged. He'd even opened the back door to let the smell/smoke out without thinking anything was amiss.
This is the 17 year old who wants to be a doctor.

Introduce him to an old fashioned game of marbles! Or just throw them at him! xxx

lol

someone cooked me a pasta bake once. when it was dished up it was like runny, milky soup with pasta and the odd bit of tuna or tomato. when i asked, he said he cooked it with 3 to 4 pints of milk as per the instructions. when i looked it said 3/4 pint milk - doh!

Imagine him issuing lethal prescription medicine! Argh!!
Dr Overall thinks...now was it 4.2ml or 42L of morphine?

LOL I was expecting you to say he was 12 or something! It could be worst though, he couldve actually left them in the tin to microwave!

I never thought of that psychick, perish the thought.
The boy is a genius but his younger brother (age 7) has more common sense in his little finger!
