Burnt Chicken

Spouse placed a chicken breast in a small saucepan to pre-cook for a casserole (which I am not fond of). Setting was High. Then she went outside to talk with the neighbors. For thirty minutes.
When I came in the smoke alarms were going off. The chicken breast was a shriveled chunk of charcoal. The ceramic cooktop is going to take at least an hour to clean. If I am lucky.
I am told that in Texas you are legally allowed to strangle a spouse (if one still has the strength) after the 60th anniversary. Only 20 plus years to go. Place still stinks.

I already do half the cooking. A deal made thirty years ago. I only burn meat outside (as does any responsible male).
So there!

And the last time you were elbow deep in the toilet bowl scrubbing it, was?
Hope you took her out for a nice dinner after the chicken mess got cleared away.

I hate Corned Beef Hash (or whatever its called) it tastes like it stinks. Well one year my dad woke up in the middle of the night deciding he was hungry. Put the pot of corned beef nasty on the stove to simmer and passed out. Woke the next more and the house REEKED, the liquid had completely simmered out of the pot. And the house smelled like that crap for weeks. Try airing out the house in the middle of a NH winter. Only so much airing you can do before you freeze your arse off.
Moral of story. Don't wake up after drinking and decide to cook. Same rules as driving....No drinking and cooking

Was this one-time incident or is she a bad cook in general? There could be hope....

Over the weekend I bought a chicken to roast along with potatoes/carrots and chirco. When I put the chicken in the oven, I dragged a dunkin donuts coozie and it fell into the oven. A coozie is a plastic, clothy thing that wraps around your ice coffee to keep it cold. Well, it caught on fire. All the smoke alarms went off and the whole house smelled like burned plastic.
It was gross.

While I was staying the summer at my Aunt and Uncles house one summer, my cousin came home late on night after a marathon night of heavy drinking.
He was a little hungry when he came home so he decided to cook a couple hot dogs.
Well...... He passed out on the couch. No smoke alarms in this old farm house. Several hours later, I woke up to the most putrid smell (worse than a hog farm) that I have ever smelled.
I got up and went into the kitchen where the stove was still turned on under the pot. There was (obviousely) no water left in it. There were two little black globs of goo at the bottom of it. The pot was warped into a wierd shape.
I turned off the stove and pried the black globs loose from the pan and put them on a plate. I then went in and woke up his sorry hung over a$$, drug him into the kitchen and made him eat the globs that used to be hot dogs.
The house stunk for the rest of the summer. My cousin actually thanked me (later) for what I did after realizing that he could have killed all of us.

I was 20 yo...living alone, came home after work one day, starving and broke...decided to boil some eggs...the last 2 I had...
I figured I could lie in bed and take a rest while I waited for the eggs to cook and fell asleep. Woke up with the smoke, ran into the kitchen and the pot was nearly black, smoke all over the place, got a rag, pushed the pot to the back burner and opened all the windows; One egg looked like a hard, black rock and the other exploded against the wall... 
It was not a pretty sight...
