[He was sorta being a facetious jerk with that story, so he's a little surprised at how she's taken it. It makes him laugh.] Nah, it was a huge story in my family and my group of friends 'til ... like, it still is. One of my friends started calling me Dumbo because of elephants and their trunks and peanuts and all. I was a stupid kid, and it was a dare. One of my friends was trying to tell me that you could get the peanut up into your brain if you pushed it through your nose, and he dared me .. you know, there's no way to justify it. I was an idiot.

Well, that works - I'm a fairly decent cook. I'm a simple sorta guy when it comes to food, generally, but I can make some decent dishes. And I've learned not to shove anything up my nose except the occasional tissue or allergy spray.

What's the worst you've ever burnt something?
