always that one person who takes your instructions too literally.
Yes...or perhaps we omit a little detail that we think is obvious; like the time a friend called me for details about breaded fried chicken...
Seems she had a new boyfriend that she had invited over for a home cooked meal, but was not much experienced in the kitchen beyond frozen dinners in the microwave.
I didn't think that I needed to tell her to cut the chicken up prior to breading it and sticking it into the pan... She didn't...and, the result was kind of disastrously, funny.
