This scale was determined by many attempts at trying to stay clean while cooking and then realizing that the food was often times worthy of the mess. Sometimes by the time I got done eating there was no more brain capacity to effectively determine the mess factor. So the next morning fog often over-shadowed this scaling method. The MFO scale takes into consideration the type of food and what type of party you’ll be serving it for.

Mess Factor Of:

1 -Ain’t no big deal. Probably got to wipe down the counter and clean the sauce out of your shoes.

2 – Sorta ain’t no big deal. You might have to, in addition to the things needing to be done for a MFO 1, let the dog lick a couple of plates clean.

3 – Now we get into it! You got a pan to wash now!

4 – A pan to wash and maybe a some silverware and the dog.

5 – Oh boy, now we’re getting there. Pots and pans are dirty and there’s crap stuck to the countertop that you got to scrub a bit.

6 – Pots, Pans, and maybe even the blender or a couple cutting boards got dirty. Not to mention the crap is on the countertop as well as the wall behind the stove.

7 – Yeah, how could it get worse? Well add Blenders, Mashers, Slicers and a Grader to clean. Thos graders suck if you’re a neat freak.

8 – Pots and Pans are burned, Crap is on the floor, countertop, wall and ceiling. The dog won’t set foot in the kitchen because it resembles a war zone and the kids are practicing the new words they just learned from this cooking session.

9 – That’s right. We’ve been here. And if you love to cook, so have you! Add up all the things listed prior to this and add in the hang-over fog and the fact that almost every piece of cookware is in piles all over the kitchen. These morning clean-ups always extend to the outside of the house as well. There is usually nice upholstered chairs in the yard and remnants of one of the kid’s big wheels in the fire pit.

10 – FUBAR – you might wake up thinking you moved or a tornado came through or a garbage truck rear-ended the house and unloaded. That’s right. We’ve been here, too! If you choose a recipe with a MFO of 10, don’t say we didn’t warn you!
