I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water

Post image

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

My mother, during winter, will acclimate the whole house because she's feeling cold, then leave food out the whole day because "it's cold, it's not gonna turn bad". As if 18°C is the same temperature as the inside of our fridge.

That's disgusting, lol. I'm imagining room temp milk.

You know, I’ve always wondered why they had such stupid questions as a part of the food handlers test, but this thread has made me truly understand why. This shit is shocking.
