I am a stay at home mom with two children and I really love to cook for my family. I am very outgoing and love dinner with friends. I love cooking for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It usually takes me three days to get everything done. Then three more days to rest. One christmas I made mashed potatoes for around 25 people. I forgot to turn the burner off and without thinking I placed the glass bowl of potatoes on the stove. Everyone started smelling something burning when I realized what I had done. When I picked up the bowl it exploded in the kitchen. Luckily no one was hurt, but my mother was very upset mashed potatoes is her favorite food!!!
