Mine aren't really disasters... I haven't been in the kitchen that long so these are more like embarrassing moments that normal 24 year olds should know revolving a kitchen...
1) My sister couldn't believe that I didn't know how to load a dishwasher... apparently the way I put them in could've broken everything.
2) I tried to make coffee out of a moka... forgot to put water and burned the handle off.
3) I forgot I was boiling water for hours and didn't realize the problem until I found an empty pot with the fire on.
4) When I was 10 I was heating up a frozen pretzel in the microwave and it set on fire.
5) Before moving to Italy I didn't know how to boil pasta or cut an eggplant.
6) I poured hot water in a glass and it broke in half... apparently it was too hot...
7) I thought we needed to turn on the oven to make tiramisu...
8) When I first moved to Italy I considered Nescafe real coffee...
9) At one point in time...I'm pretty sure I blended something without the cover... hence food all over the place...
10) For me, kitchens were decoration until 2010.

Benvenuti!
CHE ANNOYA was founded by two American girls, teaching English abroad in Italy, who love/appreciate the littlest things in life! We go by the names of Gina and Justine <3
CHE ANNOYA was derived from an All About Me/Things to Do at the Beach post on Facebook, which sparked the idea of listing various topics and ideas to compare and contrast to one another. These blog posts are just something to pass the time, to let out some creative steam, and to give us a laugh- enjoy them to the fullest :-D Topics will be posted whenever we feel the urge to write, ciao ragazzi!!
PS- Here's the FB convo that started it all :)
Justine: i think we should do an experiment... let's think of a topic, write down a certain number of things for that topic and then we can compare :-D ti piace?!
Gina: ok... you are on... topics, dreamy things, che annoya, i totally americanized that, or, or , or
