He burned a fritatta once. I couldn't believe how long he left it in
it's pan. It just sat there cooking, and cooking, then he flipped it,
and flipped it, and flipped it again. I was yelling at the TV for him
to just take it out and plate it.
I yelled so loud, that the Police were called. They took me down to
the station, gave me a donut, and told me to stick closer to church
oriented social activities. Anyway...
Also, he's a trained opera singer, and he starts to sing on his show.
And it really turns me off. I wish someone would stop me from
watching it.
At least once per episode, he comes out with 'Mama Mia Pizzaria".
Good grief.
As for the basics, he made a big ole' salad once. A head of iceberg
chopped in 8 chunks, a couple of tomatoes chopped into 4 chunks per,
and tossed on top. Some grapefruit, round and round, that's it. If I
tried to make the worst salad in the world, I couldn't come up with
that.
