I'm really horrible at cooking, so I prepare myself the simplest of meals. Examples include: putting sugar in the microwave in order to make caramel and creating a little fire hazard, microwaving noodle soup with a raw egg in it hoping it would both boil the water and cook the egg (it just exploded and it took some minutes to clean up properly), making what I thought was pancake batter mostly with eggs and then eating something that resembled omelettes covered in maple syrup more than pancakes, burning most of the rice and undercooking/overcooking most of the meat I eat (and up until recently I would just put the heat on max because "why would you waste time?"), etc etc. Thankfully, my palate is underdeveloped so I can live with my "cooking", but my wife evidently hates it and tries to keep me as far away from the kitchen as possible unless I'm there to clean, lol.
