@lovehoneybee: I had to teach my DH that meat needs to rest especially pork tenderloin. During one Thanksgiving with his family, they cut into the turkey right out of the oven. I almost fell over. The turkey may have been juicy at first, but came close to drying out because they didn't let the turkey rest.

@CupQuakeWalk: pancakes!! i cannot do them. the first few i make are never cooked enough, and the last few are burnt. what the H!
-
I can't do a blowout on my hair to save my life. I am not very dexterous!
-
@rahlyrah: Oh, pretty much anything to do with my hair!!
-
Boil an egg. Seriously, I watched a YouTube video and I still under cooked them...I swear I followed the directions, I'm blaming my stove! I also I think I have a fear of the dreaded green ring so I don't want to overcook them!.
-
@rahlyrah: and then you just got hot and sweaty and frizzy and just give up? Or is that just me?
-
Removing the shell from a boiled egg. HOW?? I need to buy one of those contraptions that does it for you. Also, rice.
-
@mamimami: I usually put the egg on the counter and apply a little downward pressure till the shell starts cracking, roll it a bit till it cracks all over, and then it's easy to peel.
-
@rahlyrah: a blow out is about all I can do! I can't curl or wave or do cute undos to save my freaking life!
I can't do math at all. I'm terrible at it.
-
@CupQuakeWalk: do you butter the bread with softened butter? Your photo looks like there is oil and you shouldn't use oil for grilled cheese. Use medium-low heat and butter your bread on the outer side that going to touch the pan and slowly toast/grill (maybe 3-4 minutes per side)
-
@CupQuakeWalk: Yup! I look even worse after than before I started!
-
Not to brag, but for the most part I'm a terrific cook and baker. I can bake tons of different breads, cakes, cookies and all kinds of fancy stuff....
...but pie crust eludes me. I can make the crust, I can roll it out, but when I try to transfer it to the pie plate it all goes to hell. I've tried a million times and it's always a disaster.
-
Ummm lots of things! I just over baked the granola I was making, which I do every.single.time
Another trick I use for grilled cheese is to pop it in the microwave for 15ish seconds when it's done to melt the cheese!
-
@heartonastring: Are you talking about transferring it from the counter to the pie tin?
I can't do hair and makeup.
Whenever I get either done, I have to take copious notes to replicate it, because I just can't do it.
My eyeshadow has been the same for years, because I really don't know what else to do, how to apply it, or what colors to mix.
-
I cannot do makeup or accessorize myself...I lack that girl gene
-
@sandy: I also lack this gene. And add me to the list of those who cannot fold a fitted sheet to save their life.
-
@Foodnerd81: I'd highly recommend a probe thermometer! You can get them pretty cheap too. We have one with a magnet, so I can put the digital part on the oven, then put the probe through the door into the meat. Because the wire is thin, the door closes just fine with it.
I fail at pushing shopping carts. I just can't pay enough attention to not run into things. Curious how a stroller is going to work out
-
I can't do my own hair. I have tried to curl it and straighten it, but it always looks the same. I am lucky it looks passable with just a quick blow dry because that is about all I can manage.
-
Doing my makeup in any way other than "is she wearing makeup?" or "whore." I can't pull off a dramatic (or um, even just noticeable) look to save my life.
-
Uh, my hair. I have the basics down and have gotten pretty good with my "look," but the board of hair tutorials I have on Pinterest is like some cruel joke to myself.
@CupQuakeWalk: I swear I always burn the first grilled cheese (usually DH's...heh).
-
@CupQuakeWalk: I cant whistle :(( I try all the time but i just can't do it!
-
Cartwheels. The bane of my existance!
-
@IRunForFun: I'm getting better! I am not good at pulling the meat at the right time to let it rest and continue to cook, but the last pork loin I did went pretty well. It's a work in progress
@Crystal: @sandy: @MediaNaranja: @Mae: putting make-up on is my NEMESIS. I look like I'm 12, or like I'm a pasty ghost. It's horrible. My sisters, on the other hand, are awesome at it.
Also, walking down the sidewalk, especially in a straight line. I have fallen off of more than one sidewalk for no apparent reason.
-
@sandy: ok wait---I use normal butter and then spray the pan with Pam. Is this all wrong?
-
@meganmp: yep, can't do that, either.
-
@Mae: Um, I cracked up at your makeup descriptions:) It reminds me of some Tumblr post that is somethng like, "I have two modes of dancing- "white dad at a BBQ" and "stripper whose rent is due".
-
@Mae: Bahahahahaha! Me too!
Its a fine balance between "I was just on stage" and "This is my first time wearing makeup"
-
@heartonastring: roll your crust out between two pieces of floured wax paper. Peel off the top one and then flip the crust into the pie pan. Then pull off the remaining piece. Works like a charm
-
@Beyond2: Yeah, I've done that. No dice. My SIL (who's amazing at pies) and I troubleshot it and decided I need a better rolling pin (I have one I got from the dollar store when I was in university and it's really small and crappy). Usually the dough ends up tearing and then I try to patch it and it's a disaster...so I think the issue is really in the rolling. I should get a new rolling pin and try it again this weekend!
-
Walk in heels. I always wind up tripping. I'm the first person to take off her heels an dance barefoot at a wedding. Classy.
-
@yellowbird: Me neither!! Everyone thinks I am crazy.
I also cannot blow bubbles with gum. Drove me nuts as a kid!
-
@CupQuakeWalk: use medium-low heat and you just need to butter your bread. No need for a spray bc your using a nonstick pan. I eat a lot of grilled cheese and get a beautiful golden toasted sandwich. It really does seem like your heat is too high...maybe your stove is super hot. I have gas burners and I usually set it halfway between the lowest setting and medium setting...the flame seems low but you just have to be patient. Check after 3 minutes and if it's underdone check after another minute until toasted a nice golden color
-
I can't wink or whistle and horrible with hair and makeup
-
@fussygal: I think Pinterest is just one giant grouping of cruel jokes. Lol
-
@CupQuakeWalk: Your problem is the Pam! Definitely just butter.
Also I cannot close a Ziploc bag. I have come to terms with this. I pinch-pinch-pinch instead of sliiiiiide. There are always open parts. The sliding makes me feel icky for some reason. DH said to me yesterday "You are constitutionally incapable of closing them correctly". Ah well.
-
Making fried eggs. I never eat them, I only like scrambled, but they are DH's favorite. So I try again and again to make them for breakfast but I never feel like they come out right. Luckily he's so not picky and will eat anything so he's never complained
-
@CupQuakeWalk: lol cook with low heat?
-
@petunia354: I'm glad I'm not the only one!!!!
-
@MamaMoose: +1. My DH has to iron our stuff or take it to the dry cleaners.
-
@CupQuakeWalk: you don't need the Pam. I can't get my cheese to melt either and end up microwaving it for a little bit.
I can't whistle or snap my fingers. Oh and I can't do my hair. I have one look and that's down and straight.
