Why Marines shouldn't cook...

We hosted a cookout at our house this afternoon and 2 of the Marines joining us made mashed potatoes. But they didn't really make them the traditional way, more of a new-fangled Marine way where you mash the potatoes BEFORE you cook them. Yeah. The mashed the potatoes before they cooked them. Needless to say they were very interesting looking and the hear the process was very amusing, especially to me, the woman who loves to cook. The end result wasn't bad, but it was just further proof as to why Marines should not be left alone in the kitchen.
