Cooking, my one and only enemy.

Hello there,[1]friends and non-friends.
(You know who you are.)

It is almost 1 AM (US/MT) and am both distraught and distinctly pancake-free.
You see, around midnight I decide that I would make pancakes because, it's technically morning.
I managed to make up a batter and proceeded to fuck up royally. (They tasted, well...badly, for lack of a better descriptor)

It seems that whenever I decide to cook something, the Gods of Cooking have some kind chip on their shoulder, like I kicked one of them in the nads in a former life. So, now I am forever cursed to be really shitty at cooking.

So, friends, I ask you what are your weaknesses? Have you ruined your life as much as they have mine?
